How to show UI from Notification

I'm trying to make a simple musicPlayer that works on Android device.To make Background-play come true, I'm using Service class.
What I want to do is below:
1.User launches app and taps start button
2.Music starts and Notification that notes the Music is playing appears
3.User taps home button and the app's UI disappears
4.Music doesn't stop
5.User tap Notification
6.UI appears with disabled start button and enabled stop button ← I'm in trouble
With My Code, UI appears. But it is not the UI which user made to disappear. How do I describe...It is new-ed UI.
So when user taps stop button,of course music doesn't stop. The Service is different one.
I want music to stop.
Is there any way to show the first created UI? the original UI?
If there's no way to show first created UI,how can I reach to first running service?
Thank you for browsing.

Changing the code (creating Intent for PendingIntent for Notification)
Intent intent = new Intent(SoundManageService.this,MainActivity.class);
to
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN);
intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_LAUNCHER);
intent.setClassName(getApplicationContext().getPackageName(), MainActivity.class.getName());
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_RESET_TASK_IF_NEEDED | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
made the problem solved.

How to run a Service always in background (Non-Stop) - Android

I have created a Service in my android application which starts running on BOOT_COMPLETE. I want to run my Service non-stop (run always), and for that I have used while(true) inside onStartCommand() method. So is this fine to use while(true) or there is any other better way to run a service always in background?
This is code of my Service:
package com.example.abc.project1;
import android.app.Service;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.IBinder;
import org.json.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;
import java.util.*;
public class HelloService extends Service {
private static final String TAG = "HelloService";
private boolean isRunning = false;
#Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent arg0) {
return null;
}
#Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
isRunning = true;
}
#Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
new Thread(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
while(true) {
/*non-stop work to be done in background always*/
}
}
}).start();
return Service.START_STICKY;
}
#Override
public void onDestroy() {
isRunning = false;
}
}

I have not tried this myself but if you change receiver to service it should work.

Android : Broadcast when screen lock appear

I want to run a method when android phones screen lock appear.
I tested ACTION_SCREEN_ON as a broadcast, but it only works when the activity is live.
I also tested ACTION_USER_PRESENT and it works when the phone is unlocked, but I want to run the method before unlocking (just when the screen lock appears).
I also tested AlarmManager by repeating alarm every 1 minute, but this solution has two defects:
Battery soon gets empty.
It's a deprecated way, and I don't need to do method every 1 minute.
What should I do?

You can create a service that listen to ACTION_SCREEN_ON broadcast.
Below are the example code for your reference:
public class LockScreenService extends Service {
private BroadcastReceiver mScreenStateReceiver = new BroadcastReceiver() {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
switch (intent.getAction()) {
case Intent.ACTION_SCREEN_ON:
// do your stuff
break;
}
}
};
public LockScreenService () {}
#Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
// register ACTION_SCREEN_ON receiver
IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter(Intent.ACTION_SCREEN_ON);
registerReceiver(mScreenStateReceiver, filter);
}
#Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
// do some extra things
return START_STICKY;
}
#Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
// do not bind service to activity because service will end if activity is destroyed
return null;
}
#Override
public void onDestroy() {
// release receiver
unregisterReceiver(mScreenStateReceiver);
}
}

Full Answer :
use service and set it START_STICKY.
It Causes after killing service the service will restart again.
it is my code :
android manifest :
<application
....
<service android:name=".UpdateService" />
</application>
service class :
import android.app.Service;
import android.content.BroadcastReceiver;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.content.IntentFilter;
import android.os.IBinder;
import android.util.Log;
import android.widget.Toast;
public class UpdateService extends Service {
BroadcastReceiver mReceiver;
#Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
// register receiver that handles screen on and screen off logic
IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter(Intent.ACTION_SCREEN_ON);
filter.addAction(Intent.ACTION_SCREEN_OFF);
mReceiver = new MyReceiver();
registerReceiver(mReceiver, filter);
}
#Override
public void onDestroy() {
unregisterReceiver(mReceiver);
Log.i("onDestroy Reciever", "Called");
super.onDestroy();
}
#Override
public void onStart(Intent intent, int startId) {
boolean screenOn = intent.getBooleanExtra("screen_state", false);
if ( !screenOn) {
Log.i("screenON", "Called");
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Awake", Toast.LENGTH_LONG)
.show();
} else {
Log.i("screenOFF", "Called");
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Sleep",
Toast.LENGTH_LONG)
.show();
}
}
#Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
return null;
}
#Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
return Service.START_STICKY;
}
}
receiver class :
import android.content.BroadcastReceiver;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.util.Log;
public class MyReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
private boolean screenOff;
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
if (intent.getAction().equals(Intent.ACTION_SCREEN_OFF)) {
screenOff = true;
Log.i("screenLog", "screen off");
} else if (intent.getAction().equals(Intent.ACTION_SCREEN_ON)) {
screenOff = false;
Log.i("screenLog", "screen on");
}
}
}
in StartupActivity :
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
Context context = getApplicationContext();
Intent service = new Intent(context, UpdateService.class);
context.startService(service);
}

Android listen to Lock screen displayed

I want to do a method when lock screen displayed (not when unlocked or screen on, just when lock screen displayed).
i try with broadcast and services but they don't work after killing app.
Also In eclips LogCat i see a log like /WindowManager(473): Lock screen displayed! that genymotion produce .
maybe can be done with windowmanager..

Try something like the following:
KeyguardManager myKM = (KeyguardManager)
context.getSystemService(Context.KEYGUARD_SERVICE);
if( myKM.inKeyguardRestrictedInputMode()) {
// it is locked
}
else {
// it is not locked
}
This should allow you to determine the locked status of the device.

I found it.
using service and set it START_STICKY.
after killing service the service restart again.
it is my code :
android manifest :
<application
....
<service android:name=".UpdateService" />
</application>
service class :
import android.app.Service;
import android.content.BroadcastReceiver;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.content.IntentFilter;
import android.os.IBinder;

public class UpdateService extends Service {
BroadcastReceiver mReceiver;
#Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
// register receiver that handles screen on and screen off logic
IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter(Intent.ACTION_SCREEN_ON);
filter.addAction(Intent.ACTION_SCREEN_OFF);
mReceiver = new MyReceiver();
registerReceiver(mReceiver, filter);
}
#Override
public void onDestroy() {
unregisterReceiver(mReceiver);
Log.i("onDestroy Reciever", "Called");
super.onDestroy();
}
#Override
public void onStart(Intent intent, int startId) {

Creating an android service

I'm trying to create a service which will start by the user request in the application.
After the user will choose an update interval, the service will run in the operation system background, and will send a non-relevant message.
I've tried to write the service according to the example for Service class API.
For some reason, I figured in debug (when running doBindService() method) that mUpdateBoundService is getting null.
My second question is whether I can use "Toast" inform message outside an application ? (As kind of a desktop notification).
Can anyone help ? Here is my short code:
UpdateService.java
package android.update;
import java.util.Timer;
import java.util.TimerTask;
import android.app.Notification;
import android.app.NotificationManager;
import android.app.PendingIntent;
import android.app.Service;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Binder;
import android.os.IBinder;
import android.widget.Toast;
public class UpdateService extends Service {
private NotificationManager mNM;
private final IBinder mBinder = new UpdateBinder();
private int updateInterval;
public class UpdateBinder extends Binder {
UpdateService getService() {
return UpdateService.this;
}
}
public void onCreate() {
mNM = (NotificationManager)getSystemService(NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
Timer timer = new Timer();
timer.schedule(new UpdateTimeTask(), 100, updateInterval);
}
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
return START_STICKY;
}
class UpdateTimeTask extends TimerTask {
public void run() {
showNotification();
}
}
public void showNotification() {
Toast.makeText(this, "Hi", 10);
}
#Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
updateInterval = intent.getExtras().getInt(getString(R.string.keyUpdateInterval));
return mBinder;
}
}
UpdateActivity.java
package android.update;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.ComponentName;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.content.ServiceConnection;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.os.IBinder;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.EditText;
import android.widget.Toast;
public class UpdateActivity extends Activity {
private UpdateService mUpdateBoundService;
private boolean mIsBound = false;
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
}
public void onClickStartUpdateService(View view) {
switch (view.getId()) {
case R.id.btnStartUpdateService:
doBindService();
//Toast.makeText(this,"Service Started",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
mUpdateBoundService.showNotification();
break;
}
}
private ServiceConnection mConnection = new ServiceConnection() {
public void onServiceConnected(ComponentName className, IBinder service) {
mUpdateBoundService = ((UpdateService.UpdateBinder)service).getService();
}
public void onServiceDisconnected(ComponentName className) {
mUpdateBoundService = null;
}
};
private void doBindService() {
Intent updateActivityIntent = new Intent(UpdateActivity.this,
UpdateService.class);
EditText txtUpdateInterval = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.txtUpdateInterval);
int interval = Integer.parseInt(txtUpdateInterval.getText().toString());
updateActivityIntent.putExtra(getString(R.string.keyUpdateInterval), interval);
bindService(updateActivityIntent, mConnection, Context.BIND_AUTO_CREATE);
mIsBound = true;
}
void doUnbindService() {
if (mIsBound) {
unbindService(mConnection);
mIsBound = false;
}
}
#Override
protected void onDestroy() {
super.onDestroy();
doUnbindService();
}
}

Your toast is not showing because you are not telling it to. Try:
public void showNotification() {
Toast.makeText(this, "Hi", 10).show();
}
For your service issue, I think that you do not properly understand how services & activities work together. A service can run independently of a service, or you can have a service whose lifecycle matches that of a given activity. From your code, it is not clear which of these models you are following. Your implementation will cause the service to wake periodically, but only while your activity is running. If the user switches to another activity, your service will no longer be woken.
If you want a service to wake periodically independently of the activity, then you need to run your timer event in the service itself. Better still use an Alarm to wake your service: Register an Alarm with AlarmManager which will fire an Intent at a future point (or regular intervals, if you prefer), and extend your service from IntentService, override onHandleIntent() and add the necessary Intent Filter to your Service entry in the manifest.
