Android / OneSignal - Know if the clicked notification was grouped

So the question is quite self-explanatory. I want to know if the notification clicked was grouped or was a single notification. Based on which, an Activity will be launched.
For example, if the notification was grouped, I would like to launch the "All messages" Activity, and if not, it'll simply launch the Chat Activity.
This is what my current code looks like:
public class NotificationOpenedHandler implements OneSignal.NotificationOpenedHandler {
private Application application;
String message;
public NotificationOpenedHandler(Application application) {
this.application = application;
}
#Override
public void notificationOpened(OSNotificationOpenResult result) {
// Get custom data from notification
JSONObject data = result.notification.payload.additionalData;
message = data.optString("message");
startApp(message);
}
private void startApp(String text) {
Intent intent;
SharedPreferences sharedPreferences = application.getSharedPreferences("appdata", Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
if (sharedPreferences.getInt("pending_notifications", 1) > 1) {
intent = new Intent(application, DemoActivity.class);
} else {
intent = new Intent(application, ReadLetterActivity.class);
}
SharedPreferences.Editor editor = sharedPreferences.edit();
editor.putInt("pending_notifications", 0);
editor.apply();
intent.putExtra("message", text);
startActivity(intent);
}
}
As you can see, I tried playing with SharedPreferences, but it was not up to the mark.
Wrapping up, I wanna know if there's a way (native or provided by OneSignal) to know if the notification was grouped or not. Thanks.

Nevermind. Found the way out. This works flawlessly to distinguish between single and grouped notifications, even if a notification from a group is opened separately.
#Override
public void notificationOpened(OSNotificationOpenResult result) {
if (result.notification.groupedNotifications == null) {
// if the clicked notification was single/clicked separately from a group
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Single notification", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
} else {
// if the clicked notification was grouped
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Grouped notification quantity: " + String.valueOf(result.notification.groupedNotifications.size()), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}

Notification that brings to activity

I'm doing stuff by clicking the notification appeared which can allow to straightly access to the activity that I needed(in this case I want to access to RealtimeData.java activity).
Btw, is that possible to display the notification instead of opening the activity for showing up the notification (the notification seems not to pop-out if I didn't enter to the specific activity. Notification pop-out if and only if I access to the RealtimeData activity) Thank a lot.
public class RealtimeData extends AppCompatActivity {
private DatabaseReference mDatebase;
private TextView mTempView; #Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_realtime_data);
Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.app_bar);
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
mAuth = FirebaseAuth.getInstance();
buttonDelete = (Button) findViewById(R.id.deletebutton)
mDatebase = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference().child("Region 1").child("Parameter Reading");
mTempView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.tempvalue);
mDatebase.addValueEventListener(new com.google.firebase.database.ValueEventListener() {
#Override
public void onDataChange(com.google.firebase.database.DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
for (com.google.firebase.database.DataSnapshot datasnap: dataSnapshot.getChildren()){
String temp = datasnap.child("airtemperature").getValue(String.class);
if (Float.valueOf(temp) >= 24 && Float.valueOf(temp) <= 30) {
mTempView.setText("Air Temperature: " + temp + " *C" + " Normal");
}
else if (Float.valueOf(temp) < 24)
{
mTempView.setText("Air Temperature: " + temp + " *C" + " Abnormal Low ");
NotificationCompat.Builder wbuilder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(RealtimeData.this);
wbuilder.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.impressive);
wbuilder.setContentTitle("Notification Alert");
wbuilder.setContentText("Air Temperature lowly abnormal!!");
wbuilder.setWhen(System.currentTimeMillis());
wbuilder.setVibrate(new long[]{1000,1000,1000,1000,1000});
wbuilder.setLights(Color.CYAN,3000,3000);
wbuilder.setSound(RingtoneManager.getDefaultUri(RingtoneManager.TYPE_NOTIFICATION));
NotificationManager notificationManager = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
notificationManager.notify(0, wbuilder.build());
}
else if (Float.valueOf(temp) > 30)
{
mTempView.setText("Air Temperature: " + temp + " *C" + " Abnormal High ");
NotificationCompat.Builder wbuilder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(RealtimeData.this);
wbuilder.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.impressive);
wbuilder.setContentTitle("Notification Alert");
wbuilder.setContentText("Air temperature highly abnormal!!");
wbuilder.setWhen(System.currentTimeMillis());
wbuilder.setVibrate(new long[]{1000,1000,1000,1000,1000});
wbuilder.setLights(Color.CYAN,3000,3000);
wbuilder.setSound(RingtoneManager.getDefaultUri(RingtoneManager.TYPE_NOTIFICATION));
NotificationManager notificationManager = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
notificationManager.notify(0, wbuilder.build());
}
}
}
#Override
public void onCancelled(DatabaseError databaseError) {
mTempView.setText("Air Temperature: Error");
}
});;

You are launching the notification from inside the activity so obviously it will only show when using the RealtimeData activity.
If you want a notification to show without any activity open, you will have to send one yourself.
Notifications can be sent using a number of services like
Parse (you have to manage your own server now)
Firebase Notifications ( Send notifications both downstream and upstream)
OneSignal
PubNub
These are the ones that i know, might be others if you google search.
Using any of these, you will have to post a notification to be delivered to the device you want from your own server or via a management console these services provide.
I am currently using Firebase Services to send notifications to devices. All of the services above have a pretty good documentation regarding how to send notifications to apps :)

How to handle notifications with FCM when app is in either foreground or background

I used firebase to build My project.
It will also use the FCM (firebase cloud message).
But there is a problem. I can't handle the FCM (create my custom notificaion) when app is in background.
The official site tutorial said that
case 1: App foreground -> override the "onMessageReceived()" to create your custom notification.
case 2: App background -> System will create the notification directly. We needn't and can't do anything. Because it doesn't trigger the "onMessageReceived()" in this case.
However if I can do nothing when app is background, I can't create my custom notification. (e.g. After Users click the notification and it will pop up a window to show detail information.)
So how do I handle notifications with FCM when app is in background?

There is a bad news. Google change the Firebase source code in version 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:11.6.0'.
handelIntent is "public final void method" now. which means we can't override it .
If you want to use the solution, change the version to be "com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:11.4.2"
Try my way. It can perfectly work on the project build version is Android 6.0 above(api level 23) and I have tried it already.
There is better way than official site tutorial
The official site said that the notification will be created by system when app is in background. So you can't handle it by overriding the "onMessageReceived()". Because the "onMessageReceived()" is only triggered when app is in foreground.
But the truth is not. Actually the notificaions (when app is in background) are created by Firebase Library.
After I traced the firebase library code. I find a better way.
Step 1. Override the "handleIntent()" instead of "onMessageReceived()" in FirebaseMessagingService
why:
Because the method will be trigger either app is in foreground or the background. So we can handle FCM message and create our custom notifications in both cases.
#Override
public void handleIntent(Intent intent) {
Log.d( "FCM", "handleIntent ");
}
Step 2. Parse the message from FCM
how:
If you don't know the format of the message you set. Print it and try to parse it.
Here is the basic illustration
Bundle bundle = intent.getExtras();
if (bundle != null) {
for (String key : bundle.keySet()) {
Object value = bundle.get(key);
Log.d("FCM", "Key: " + key + " Value: " + value);
}
}
Step 2. Remove the notifications created by Firebase library when the app is in background
why:
We can create our custom notification. But the notification created by Firebase Library will still be there (Actually it created by ""super.handleIntent(intent)"". There is detail explaination below.). Then we'll have two notifcations. That is rather weird. So we have to remove the notificaion created by Firebase Library
how (project build level is Android 6.0 above):
Recognize the notifications which we want to remove and get the informaion. And use the "notificationManager.cancel()" to remove them.
private void removeFirebaseOrigianlNotificaitons() {
//check notificationManager is available
NotificationManager notificationManager =
(NotificationManager) getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
if (notificationManager == null )
return;
//check api level for getActiveNotifications()
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {
//if your Build version is less than android 6.0
//we can remove all notifications instead.
//notificationManager.cancelAll();
return;
}
//check there are notifications
StatusBarNotification[] activeNotifications =
notificationManager.getActiveNotifications();
if (activeNotifications == null)
return;
//remove all notification created by library(super.handleIntent(intent))
for (StatusBarNotification tmp : activeNotifications) {
Log.d("FCM StatusBarNotification",
"StatusBarNotification tag/id: " + tmp.getTag() + " / " + tmp.getId());
String tag = tmp.getTag();
int id = tmp.getId();
//trace the library source code, follow the rule to remove it.
if (tag != null && tag.contains("FCM-Notification"))
notificationManager.cancel(tag, id);
}
}
The my whole sample code:
public class MyFirebaseMessagingService extends FirebaseMessagingService {
private static int notificationCount=0;
#Override
public void handleIntent(Intent intent) {
//add a log, and you'll see the method will be triggered all the time (both foreground and background).
Log.d( "FCM", "handleIntent");
//if you don't know the format of your FCM message,
//just print it out, and you'll know how to parse it
Bundle bundle = intent.getExtras();
if (bundle != null) {
for (String key : bundle.keySet()) {
Object value = bundle.get(key);
Log.d("FCM", "Key: " + key + " Value: " + value);
}
}
//the background notification is created by super method
//but you can't remove the super method.
//the super method do other things, not just creating the notification
super.handleIntent(intent);
//remove the Notificaitons
removeFirebaseOrigianlNotificaitons();
if (bundle ==null)
return;
//pares the message
CloudMsg cloudMsg = parseCloudMsg(bundle);
//if you want take the data to Activity, set it
Bundle myBundle = new Bundle();
myBundle.putSerializable(TYPE_FCM_PLATFORM, cloudMsg);
Intent myIntent = new Intent(this, NotificationActivity.class);
myIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
myIntent.putExtras(myBundle);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, notificationCount, myIntent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
//set the Notification
NotificationCompat.Builder notificationBuilder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this)
.setSmallIcon(R.mipmap.icon)
.setContentTitle(cloudMsg.getTitle())
.setContentText(cloudMsg.getMessage())
.setAutoCancel(true)
.setContentIntent(pendingIntent);
NotificationManager notificationManager = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
notificationManager.notify(notificationCount++, notificationBuilder.build());
}
/**
* parse the message which is from FCM
* #param bundle
*/
private CloudMsg parseCloudMsg(Bundle bundle) {
String title = null, msg=null;
//if the message is sent from Firebase platform, the key will be that
msg = (String) bundle.get("gcm.notification.body");
if(bundle.containsKey("gcm.notification.title"))
title = (String) bundle.get("gcm.notification.title");
//parse your custom message
String testValue=null;
testValue = (String) bundle.get("testKey");
//package them into a object(CloudMsg is your own structure), it is easy to send to Activity.
CloudMsg cloudMsg = new CloudMsg(title, msg, testValue);
return cloudMsg;
}
/**
* remove the notification created by "super.handleIntent(intent)"
*/
private void removeFirebaseOrigianlNotificaitons() {
//check notificationManager is available
NotificationManager notificationManager =
(NotificationManager) getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
if (notificationManager == null )
return;
//check api level for getActiveNotifications()
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {
//if your Build version is less than android 6.0
//we can remove all notifications instead.
//notificationManager.cancelAll();
return;
}
//check there are notifications
StatusBarNotification[] activeNotifications =
notificationManager.getActiveNotifications();
if (activeNotifications == null)
return;
//remove all notification created by library(super.handleIntent(intent))
for (StatusBarNotification tmp : activeNotifications) {
Log.d("FCM StatusBarNotification",
"tag/id: " + tmp.getTag() + " / " + tmp.getId());
String tag = tmp.getTag();
int id = tmp.getId();
//trace the library source code, follow the rule to remove it.
if (tag != null && tag.contains("FCM-Notification"))
notificationManager.cancel(tag, id);
}
}
}

However if I can do nothing when app is background, I can't create my custom notification. (e.g. After Users click the notification and it will pop up a window to show detail information.)
So how do I handle notifications with FCM when app is in background?
First, you need to create correct message payload that you send to fcm server. Example:
{
"to": "topic_name",
"priority": "high",
"data": {
"field1": "field1 value"
"field2": "field2 value"
}
"notification" : {
"body" : "Lorem ipsum",
"title" : "sampke title"
"click_action": "SHOW_DETAILS"
}
}
data payload is actual data you want to show as message details after user clicks on notification, notification payload represents how generated notification should look (there are much more attributes possible to set), you don't need to build notification by yourself, you only need to set it properties here.
To show your activity after user taps on notication, you need to set intent filter corresponding to click_action:
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="SHOW_DETAILS"/>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>
</intent-filter>
so activity that have above intent filter will be launched automatically when user taps to notification.
Last step is to retrieve data when activity is launched after notification tap. It's pretty easy. Custom data is passed to activity via bundle. Inside onCreate method for your activity do something like that:
Bundle bundle = getIntent().getExtras();
if(bundle.getString("action").equals("SHOW_DETAILS")) /*This indicates activity is launched from notification, not directly*/
{
//Data retrieved from notification payload send
String filed1 = bundle.getString("field1");
String filed2 = bundle.getString("field2");
}
All of above is valid if app is not running or it's in background. If your app is foreground, no notification will be created. Instead, you will receive onMessageReceived() event so you can handle the same data there (I guess you know how).
Reference:
https://firebase.google.com/docs/cloud-messaging/http-server-ref
https://github.com/firebase/quickstart-android/tree/master/messaging

You need to use FCM data messages in order to create custom notification in a android app.Even your app is in background, onMessageReceived will be called, so you can process the data and show the custom notification.
https://firebase.google.com/docs/cloud-messaging/android/receive
Data message format which has to be sent from server:
{"message":{
"token":"Your Device Token",
"data":{
"Nick" : "Mario",
"body" : "great match!",
"Room" : "PortugalVSDenmark"
}
}
}

FCM Won't send a background notification if your app is killed any more, and as you described in your answer about the handleIntent() solution It may work for some devices and for some old version of the FCM, also if you #override method that doesn't described in the official doc's of firebase you may struggle some problems here, and you use it on your own risk!.
What is the solution?
You need to use your own push-notification-service beside FCM like Telegram.
OR using SyncAdapter beside GCM like Gmail.
So if you need it to work successfully like those apps, you have to use your own hack.

onMessageSent of FirebaseMessagingService is not called accordingly

I am trying to use FCM to send UpStream Message, so I followed the tutorial on google and it works.
As shown in the code below in MainActivity, I send Upstream message when the button is clicked, then in MyAndroidFirebaseMsgService I should see a Log message as shown
below in MyAndroidFirebaseMsgService.
But what happen is, the Log messages in MyAndroidFirebaseMsgService in onMessageSent in do not get displayed even I kept pressing the button several times.
the Log message in MyAndroidFirebaseMsgService in onMessageSent can be displayed only if sent a downstream messagefrom FCM to the App, in this case, both the Logs in
in MyAndroidFirebaseMsgService will be displayed.
Please let me know why the Log message in onMessageSent is not getting displayed once there is an UpStream message sent?and how to fix it.
Mainactivity:
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
mBtnSendUpstreamMsg = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btn_send_upstream_message);
mBtnSendUpstreamMsg.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
FirebaseMessaging fm = FirebaseMessaging.getInstance();
fm.send(new RemoteMessage.Builder("673xxxxx" + "#gcm.googleapis.com")
.setMessageId("2")
.addData("my_message", "Hello World")
.addData("my_action","SAY_HELLO")
.build());
}
});
}
MyAndroidFirebaseMsgService:
public class MyAndroidFirebaseMsgService extends FirebaseMessagingService {
private final static String TAG = MyAndroidFirebaseMsgService.class.getSimpleName();
#Override
public void onMessageSent(String s) {
super.onMessageSent(s);
Log.d(TAG, "onMessageSent: upstream message");
}
#Override
public void onMessageReceived(RemoteMessage remoteMessage) {
Log.d(TAG, "onMessageReceived: downstream message");
//Log data to Log Cat
Log.d(TAG, "onMessageReceived->From: " + remoteMessage.getFrom());
Log.d(TAG, "onMessageReceived->Notification Message Body: " + remoteMessage.getNotification().getBody());
//create notification
createNotification(remoteMessage.getNotification().getBody());
}
private void createNotification( String messageBody) {
Intent intent = new Intent( this , ResultActivity.class );
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
PendingIntent resultIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity( this , 0, intent,
PendingIntent.FLAG_ONE_SHOT);
Uri notificationSoundURI = RingtoneManager.getDefaultUri(RingtoneManager.TYPE_NOTIFICATION);
NotificationCompat.Builder mNotificationBuilder = new NotificationCompat.Builder( this)
.setSmallIcon(R.mipmap.ic_launcher)
.setContentTitle("Android Tutorial Point FCM Tutorial")
.setContentText(messageBody)

.setContentIntent(resultIntent);
NotificationManager notificationManager =
(NotificationManager) getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
notificationManager.notify(0, mNotificationBuilder.build());
}
}

Yes, is possible to send a Firebase messaging push notification and receive it in all app life cycles using onMessageReceived.
But is necessary to change the default Firebase behaviour, intercepting the intent request before everything else.
** IMPORTANT NOTE **
This was a pretty stupid idea from Firebase by remove the developers processment capability when the FCM message arives with the notification message format, but not for data message.
This created a bunch of "workarounds" in many solutions, which made the analythics and everything else being messed up.
If I had designed this solution, I would always call the onMessageReceived method with a completion handle. Let the developer decide what to do (free tip for you, Firebase).
Use onMessageReceived is the correct way to do. This method is the only one who brings RemoteMessage object, that have every information what you need. It was designed for it. You are on correct path.
** HOW TO DO **
In your Firebase Class MyAndroidFirebaseMsgService, which extends FirebaseMessagingService, override the public method handleIntent to intercep the intent request before Firebase catch it.
#Override
public void handleIntent(Intent intent){
if(intent.hasExtra("google.message_id")){
intent = handleFirebaseIntent(intent);
}
super.handleIntent(intent);
}
After, transform the notification message package into an data message, removing all "gcm.notification.%" and "gcm.n.%" extras from intent, and translating "gcm.notification.title", "gcm.notification.body" and "gcm.notification.image" elements into what you need:
// Thank you Google, for that brilliant idea to treat notification message and notification data
// differently on Android, depending of what app life cycle is. Because of that, all the developers
// are doing "workarounds", using data to send push notifications, and that's not what you planned for.
// Let the developers decide what to do on their apps and ALWAYS deliver the notification
// to "onMessageReceived" method. Its simple, is freedom and its what the creative ones need.
private Intent handleFirebaseIntent(Intent intent){
//printIntentExtras(intent);
String FCM_TITLE_KEY = "gcm.notification.title";
String FCM_BODY_KEY = "gcm.notification.body";
String FCM_IMAGE_KEY = "gcm.notification.image";
String title = intent.getStringExtra(FCM_TITLE_KEY);
String body = intent.getStringExtra(FCM_BODY_KEY);
String image = intent.getStringExtra(FCM_IMAGE_KEY);
// Remove the key extras that identifies an Notification type message
Bundle bundle = intent.getExtras();
if (bundle != null) {
for (String key : bundle.keySet()) {
if (key.startsWith("gcm.notification.") || key.startsWith("gcm.n."))
{
intent.removeExtra(key);
}
}
}
Boolean isTitleEmpty = StringUtils.isNullOrEmpty(title);
Boolean isBodyEmpty = StringUtils.isNullOrEmpty(body);
Boolean isImageEmpty = StringUtils.isNullOrEmpty(image);
// Notification title and body has prevalence over Data title and body
if(
!isTitleEmpty || !isBodyEmpty || !isImageEmpty
){
// This is my personalized translation method, designed for my solution.
// Probably you gonna need to do it by your own
String contentData = intent.getStringExtra(Definitions.PUSH_NOTIFICATION_CONTENT);
Map<String, Object> content;
if(StringUtils.isNullOrEmpty(contentData)){
content = new HashMap<String, Object>();
content.put(Definitions.NOTIFICATION_ID, new Random().nextInt(65536) - 32768);
content.put(Definitions.NOTIFICATION_CHANNEL_KEY, "basic_channel" );
} else {
content = JsonUtils.fromJson(new TypeToken<Map<String, Object>>(){}.getType(),contentData);
}
if(!isTitleEmpty) content.put(Definitions.NOTIFICATION_TITLE, title);
if(!isBodyEmpty) content.put(Definitions.NOTIFICATION_BODY, body);
if(!isImageEmpty){
content.put(Definitions.NOTIFICATION_BIG_PICTURE, image);
content.put(Definitions.NOTIFICATION_LAYOUT, NotificationLayout.BigPicture.toString());
}
contentData = JsonUtils.toJson(content);
intent.putExtra(Definitions.PUSH_NOTIFICATION_CONTENT, contentData);
}
//printIntentExtras(intent);
return intent;
}
private void printIntentExtras(Intent intent){
Bundle bundle;
if ((bundle = intent.getExtras()) != null) {
for (String key : bundle.keySet()) {
System.out.println(key + " : " + (bundle.get(key) != null ? bundle.get(key) : "NULL"));
}
}
}

How to show Parse Push Notification in notification bar while application is running?

I am using Parse to do push notifications and the issue I am running into is that while my application is running (either in the foreground or background) the phone's operating system does not show the push notification in the notification bar. What changes to my implementation do I need to make to see the push display on the notification bar?
My extended Application class has the following in onCreate()
// initialize Parse SDK
Parse.initialize(this, Constants.APPLICATION_ID_DEBUG, Constants.CLIENT_KEY_DEBUG);
ParsePush.subscribeInBackground(Constants.CHANNEL, new SaveCallback() {
#Override
public void done(ParseException e) {
if (e == null) {
Logger.i(TAG, "successfully subscribed to broadcast channel");
} else {
Logger.e(TAG, "failed to subscribe for push: " + e);
}
}
});
ParseInstallation.getCurrentInstallation().saveInBackground();
I have a sign in system for my app, so I am using the ID of the logged in user as the Channel to subscribe users to. So in the first Activity of my app I call the following code snippet in onCreate().
private void registerNotifications() {
List<String> arryChannel = new ArrayList<String>();
arryChannel.add(session.id);
ParseInstallation parseInstallation = ParseInstallation.getCurrentInstallation();
parseInstallation.put("channels", arryChannel);
parseInstallation.saveEventually();
}
I also have a custom receiver that is working. Each time a push is sent out, it is being received by the onPushReceive method, however, I want the push to display in the notification bar.
public class ParsePushReceiver extends ParsePushBroadcastReceiver {
private static final String TAG = ParsePushReceiver.class.getSimpleName();
#Override
public void onPushOpen(Context context, Intent intent) {
Log.i(TAG, "onPushOpen");
}
#Override
protected void onPushReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Log.i(TAG, "onPushReceive");
}
}
Thanks in advance!

Just remove the onPushReceive method and the default behaviour will remain (show the notification in the status bar.
You are getting this behaviour because if the application is running the Parse Push notification will call the method onPushReceive that does nothing.

I have figured this out. Although the answer provided by Sandra will make a push notification appear on the notification bar, it is not connected to Parse.
NotificationCompat.Builder mBuilder =
new NotificationCompat.Builder(this)
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.notification_icon)
.setContentTitle("My notification")
.setContentText("Hello World!");
This causes issues, because if you click on that notification the receiver you create extending ParsePushBroadcastReceiver will not register onPushOpen. My implementation for everything was correct, I only needed to add
super.onPushReceive(context, intent);
That will make the notification appear on the notification bar and also register clicks.
So make sure to make your receiver looks like this (at minimum)
public class ParsePushReceiver extends ParsePushBroadcastReceiver {
private static final String TAG = ParsePushReceiver.class.getSimpleName();
