Open Activity on Notification Click - Intent flag issue - android

I am creating an Android app. I have set up the notification system to open a specific activity/class on notification click. When my App is totally closed and I send a notification and when I click on it opens the correct activity like this example:
App is not running > Notification comes in > Click on the notification > Activity_T opens.
BUT, when my app is running and I get a notification and when I click on it to open the Activity_T it doesn't it loads MainActivity instead.
The flags I use are the follow
Intent intent = new Intent(mContext, (Class<?>) activityToLaunch);
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_REORDER_TO_FRONT);
intent.putExtra("tt", title);
intent.putExtra("bd", body);
mContext.startActivity(intent);
I want to open Activity_T on notification click either the app is running or not. How to force open Activity_T whenever I click on the notification.

I send notification from receiver onReceive method. When click on notification,I open an activity,even the app was killed. I used like that
Intent notificationIntent = new Intent(context, MainActivity.class);
PendingIntent contentIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0, notificationIntent, 0);
NotificationCompat.Builder mBuilder =
new NotificationCompat.Builder(context, "")
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.my_ic)
.setContentTitle(title)
.setContentText(msg)
.setContentIntent(contentIntent);

How to open non-launcher activity on notification group click

Currently I have this:
Intent resultIntent = new Intent(context, DigestPager.class);
and this is opening DigestPager activity (which is not launcher activity) when clicking on a single notification.
But when there are multiple notifications and they are grouped into one and collapsed, clicking on it is opening launcher activity.
Is there some simple way to open a different activity?
Intent resultIntent = new Intent(context, DigestPager.class);
resultIntent.putExtra("digestId", digest.getDigestId());
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, digest.getDigestId(), resultIntent,
PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
mBuilder.setContentIntent(pendingIntent);
NotificationManager mNotifyMgr = (NotificationManager) context.getSystemService(NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
mNotifyMgr.notify(digest.getDigestId(), mBuilder.build());
Create a handler activity that opens everytime you click on a notification and based on the flags set to the notification, you can navigate to the required activity/fragment.
Hope this helps.

close activity before opening it on clicking notification

I am opening an activity on clicking notification, that is working fine. But if that activity (which I am opening on clicking notification) is already open (user has opened it) then I want to close it before opening it as a result of clicking notification. So how can I do that. Please help.
Code:
Intent intent = new Intent(context, ViewReminders.class);
intent.putExtra("CALLER","GenNot");
intent.putExtra("ID",notification_id);
PendingIntent pIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0, intent, 0);
NotificationCompat.Builder mBuilder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(context);
Try with setting the following flags
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TASK);

Android notification stays open when launching app

I'm able to queue and launch notifications through AlarmManager, I'm also able to launch my application when clicking the notification. Unfortunately the notification isn't removing itself when the application is launched.
Notification setup:
Intent intent = new Intent(mainActivity, NotificationPublisher.class);
intent.setAction("handle");
PendingIntent pIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(mainActivity, 0, intent,
PendingIntent.FLAG_CANCEL_CURRENT);
Notification.Builder builder = new Notification.Builder(mainActivity)
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.phone)
.setContentTitle(title)
.setContentText(textContent)
.setAutoCancel(true)
.setContentIntent(pIntent);
return builder.getNotification();
The notification click broadcasts and hits this function:
void handle(Context context, Intent intent) {
System.out.println("handle");
Context mainContext = Extension.mainContext;
Activity mainActivity = Extension.mainActivity;
Intent launchIntent = new Intent(mainContext, mainActivity.getClass());
launchIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
context.startActivity(launchIntent);
}
The handle function will launch the activity but not remove the notification from the status bar. Interestingly... If I remove the call to startActivity, the notification will close.
Things I've tried:
Setting the auto cancel flag manually
Using the builder.build() instead
NotificationManger cancel(id) and/or cancelAll
Using NotificationCompat.Builder
Using a regular launch intent for the setContentIntent instead of manually calling startActivity
Based on this statement from your question:
Interestingly... If I remove the call to startActivity, the
notification will close.
I'm assuming that your Activity is just reposting the Notification.
I worked around this by launching my App 300ms after clicking the notification.

how to start aplication or bring to front when user clicks on a notification click on android

I'm working whit push notifications.
When a user clicks on a notification I want to start the application in case it is not started, or bring it to front in case it is started.
Thanks
this is the complite code I found the answer here Bring application to front after user clicks on home button
Intent intent = new Intent(ctx, SplashScreen.class);
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_MAIN);
intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_LAUNCHER);
PendingIntent contentIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(ctx, 0,
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_REORDER_TO_FRONT),
PendingIntent.FLAG_CANCEL_CURRENT);
NotificationCompat.Builder mBuilder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(
ctx).setContentTitle(extras.getString("title"))
.setContentText(extras.getString("message"))
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher)
.setContentIntent(contentIntent);
Notification noti = mBuilder.build();
noti.flags = Notification.DEFAULT_LIGHTS
| Notification.FLAG_AUTO_CANCEL;
mNotificationManager.notify(NOTIFICATION_ID, noti);
The important things are the flags on the Intent, this will open the app or bring it to front if is opened, or do nothing if you click on the notification while you are browsing the app
implement pending intent.
Code
Intent pi = new Intent();
pi.setClass(getApplicationContext(), youactivity.class);
// The PendingIntent to launch our activity if the user selects this notification
PendingIntent contentIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0,pi, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
String msgText = mMessage;
// construct the Notification object.
Notification notif = new Notification(R.drawable.icon, msgText,System.currentTimeMillis());
manifest
<activity android:name="com.InfoActivity" android:noHistory="false android:excludeFromRecents="false"></activity>
Just set the intent for the notification, this is covered in details in the official API guide.
You do that by creating a PendingIntent.
For example, this will launch a MainActivity when notification is clicked.
Intent intent = new Intent(this, MainActivity.class);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, intent, 0);
Notification noti = new Notification.Builder(this)
.setContentTitle("Notication title")
.setContentText("Content text")
.setContentIntent(pendingIntent).build();
I don't know whether you're talking about Google Cloud Messaging or not. But if it is a normal Notification then while creating your notification you've to provide Pending Intent. Just put your desired class in Pending intent so that when user clicks on that notification you'll be driven to your so called Application. A snippet :
PendingIntent contentIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, new Intent(this,
"Your application activity".class), PendingIntent."Flag you want");
After this use this intent while creating notification. It's method is setContentIntent("above intent") and fire your notification with NotificationManager!

My service resets internal variables when opening ongoing notificiation

I have a setup where my activity starts a service and sends values through the intent that control how the service acts. These variables can change through the life of the service, and the service pushes updates back to the activity UI. If I exit the activity and relaunch it, it will request an update from the service to get the current values. This works fine if I re-launch the activity via the home screen, or if I use the recent apps menu. However if I launch the activity via the run in foreground ongoing notification I have set for the service, then the service re-sets itself to the original values when it was started.
Here's my run in foreground code, I don't think there is anything else that would have an affect on this problem.
//Create notification and set to run in forground
Notification notification = new Notification(R.drawable.ic_launcher, getText(R.string.app_name),
System.currentTimeMillis());
Intent notificationIntent = new Intent(this, MainActivity.class);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, notificationIntent, 0);
notification.setLatestEventInfo(this, getText(R.string.app_name),
"Running Noise Based", pendingIntent);
startForeground(ONGOING_NOTIIFICATION, notification);
Update 3:
Adding the flags Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK, Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP, and Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP to the notification intent fixed the problem. I have no idea why these fixed it. If anyone can tell me why this happens please do. Here's the new code that works.
//Create notification and set to run in forground
Notification notification = new Notification(R.drawable.ic_launcher, getText(R.string.app_name),
System.currentTimeMillis());
Intent notificationIntent = new Intent(this, MainActivity.class);
notificationIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK
| Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP
| Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, notificationIntent, 0);
notification.setLatestEventInfo(this, getText(R.string.app_name),
"Running Noise Based", pendingIntent);
startForeground(ONGOING_NOTIIFICATION, notification);
