The other notifications is lost the click behaviour, when a notification is chosen at device's system tray in android

If there're two my app's notifications at device's system tray, the user choose one notification, the app's opening but all of other notifications is lost the click behavior, it means user cannot click them anymore. How can I prevent this action?
My code:
NotificationCompat.Builder builder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this)
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.icon)
.setContentTitle(getString(R.string.test))
.setContentText(messageBody);
Intent intent = new Intent(this, NotifActivity.class);
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
bundle.putString(NotificationViewActivity.MESSAGE_EXTRA, messageBody);
intent.putExtras(bundle);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0,
intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_ONE_SHOT);
builder.setContentIntent(pendingIntent);
NotificationManager notificationManager = (NotificationManager)
getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
notificationManager.notify(new Random().nextInt(50) + 1, builder.build());

int mId = (int) System.currentTimeMillis();
NotificationCompat.Builder mBuilder =
new NotificationCompat.Builder(context)
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.imagename)
.setContentTitle("Title")
.setContentText("message")
.setDefaults(Notification.DEFAULT_ALL)
.setAutoCancel(true);
// Creates an explicit intent for an Activity in your app
Intent resultIntent = new Intent(context, activityname.class);
//activityname is the name of activity which you want to launch
resultIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP);
// The stack builder object will contain an artificial back stack for the
// started Activity.
// This ensures that navigating backward from the Activity leads out of
// your application to the Home screen.
TaskStackBuilder stackBuilder = TaskStackBuilder.create(context);
// Adds the back stack for the Intent (but not the Intent itself)
stackBuilder.addParentStack(MainActivity.class);
// Adds the Intent that starts the Activity to the top of the stack
stackBuilder.addNextIntent(resultIntent);
PendingIntent resultPendingIntent =
stackBuilder.getPendingIntent(
0,
PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT
);
mBuilder.setContentIntent(resultPendingIntent);
NotificationManager mNotificationManager =
(NotificationManager) context.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
// mId allows you to update the notification later on.
mNotificationManager.notify(mId, mBuilder.build());

I detected my root cause in below code
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, intent,
PendingIntent.FLAG_ONE_SHOT);
Because the request code is the same for all notifications, so when we click to the one notification, the other lost their click listener. Fix like below codes
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, (int) System.currentTimeMillis(), intent,
PendingIntent.FLAG_ONE_SHOT);

set onCliccklistener to notification

I have an application that shows a play pause notification.I want to when a user tap on the notification a service in the app be called and I do my stuff in that service.
I have done it for my notification item widgets like buttons but now I want to handle user tap on whole of notification bar.any help?
This is my code for handling on items click:
Intent intent = new Intent(context , MyNotificationService.class);
intent.putExtra("ID","play");
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getService(context,0,intent,0);
myRemoteView.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.myButton);

NotificationCompat.Builder notification = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this);
NotificationManager mNotificationManager = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
Intent resultIntent = new Intent(this, YourActivity.class);
TaskStackBuilder stackBuilder = TaskStackBuilder.create(this);
stackBuilder.addParentStack(YourActivity.class);
stackBuilder.addNextIntent(resultIntent);
PendingIntent resultPendingIntent = stackBuilder.getPendingIntent(0, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
notification.setContentIntent(resultPendingIntent);
There you go :) This will open 'YourActivity' when the notification is tapped.

keep posting the same notification

I am trying to post a notification on a button press using this code:
public void onClick(View v) {
NotificationCompat.Builder mBuilder =
new NotificationCompat.Builder(this)
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher)
.setContentTitle("My notification")
.setContentText("Hello World!");
// Creates an explicit intent for an Activity in your app
Intent resultIntent = new Intent(this, MainActivity.class);
// The stack builder object will contain an artificial back stack for the
// started Activity.
// This ensures that navigating backward from the Activity leads out of
// your application to the Home screen.
TaskStackBuilder stackBuilder = TaskStackBuilder.create(this);
// Adds the back stack for the Intent (but not the Intent itself)
stackBuilder.addParentStack(MainActivity.class);
// Adds the Intent that starts the Activity to the top of the stack
stackBuilder.addNextIntent(resultIntent);
PendingIntent resultPendingIntent =
stackBuilder.getPendingIntent(
0,
PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT
);
mBuilder.setContentIntent(resultPendingIntent);
NotificationManager mNotificationManager =
(NotificationManager) getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
// mId allows you to update the notification later on.
i = (int) Math.random();
mNotificationManager.notify(i, mBuilder.build());
}
and I know the .notfiy(id, notification) allow it to only post one notification with the same ID but just for the sake of this example app i would like to keep being able to post notifications even it it is the same one. Thats why i tried to use a random number so it would switch the id, but that still didnt help. Any suggestions?
by the way this is posting a notification, but only one until i clear it

Use a global int 'i=0' and increment it after every notification creation and change code like following
public void onClick(View v) {
NotificationCompat.Builder mBuilder =
new NotificationCompat.Builder(this)
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher)
.setContentTitle("My notification")
.setContentText("Hello World!");
// Creates an explicit intent for an Activity in your app
Intent resultIntent = new Intent(this, MainActivity.class);
// The stack builder object will contain an artificial back stack for the
// started Activity.
// This ensures that navigating backward from the Activity leads out of
// your application to the Home screen.
TaskStackBuilder stackBuilder = TaskStackBuilder.create(this);
// Adds the back stack for the Intent (but not the Intent itself)
stackBuilder.addParentStack(MainActivity.class);
// Adds the Intent that starts the Activity to the top of the stack
stackBuilder.addNextIntent(resultIntent);
i++;
PendingIntent resultPendingIntent =
stackBuilder.getPendingIntent(
i,
PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT
);
mBuilder.setContentIntent(resultPendingIntent);
NotificationManager mNotificationManager =
(NotificationManager) getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
// mId allows you to update the notification later on.
mNotificationManager.notify(i, mBuilder.build());
}
Hope this will resolve the issue

How to make notification uncancellable/unremovable

I want to make my Android notification stay even if user clicks it or clicks clear all...
Right now it stays sometimes, and gets removed sometimes, and I'm not sure what causes it.
Here's my code for the notification:
#TargetApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN)
public static void createNotification()
{
NotificationManager notificationManager = (NotificationManager)context.getSystemService(NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
NotificationCompat.Builder builder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(context)
.setContentTitle("Wolftech Field Agent")
.setContentText("Getting Status")
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher)
.setOngoing(true)
.setAutoCancel(false);
Intent intent = new Intent(context, FieldAgent.class);
intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_MAIN);
intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_LAUNCHER);
TaskStackBuilder stackBuilder = TaskStackBuilder.create(context);
stackBuilder.addParentStack(FieldAgent.class);
stackBuilder.addNextIntent(intent);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = stackBuilder.getPendingIntent(0, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
builder.setContentIntent(pendingIntent);
notificationManager.notify(NOTIFICATION_ID, builder.build());
}
public static void updateNotificationText(String inString)
{
NotificationManager notificationManager = (NotificationManager)context.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
NotificationCompat.Builder builder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(context)
.setContentText(inString)
.setContentTitle("Wolftech Field Agent")
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher)
.setOngoing(true)
.setAutoCancel(false);
Intent intent = new Intent(context, FieldAgent.class);
intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_MAIN);
intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_LAUNCHER);
TaskStackBuilder stackBuilder = TaskStackBuilder.create(context);
stackBuilder.addParentStack(FieldAgent.class);
stackBuilder.addNextIntent(intent);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = stackBuilder.getPendingIntent(0, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
builder.setContentIntent(pendingIntent);
notificationManager.notify(NOTIFICATION_ID, builder.build());
}
public static void cancelNotification()
{
NotificationManager notificationManager = (NotificationManager)context.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
notificationManager.cancel(NOTIFICATION_ID);
}

I think you are looking for ongoing notifications, in that case if you are using NotificationCompat.Builder , you can use :
NotificationCompat.Builder mNotifyBuilder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this);
mNotifyBuilder.setOngoing(true);

I believe that you are looking for this flag:
Notification.FLAG_NO_CLEAR
Add that flag to your notification.

you try
PendingIntent pendingIntent = stackBuilder.getPendingIntent(0, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
notificationManager.cancel(pendingIntent);

Okey, I've realized the code I posted is actually good.
What is happening is that when I'm clicking the notification, it's calling onCreate() again, and then after a random interval it's calling onDestroy().
In onDestroy() I had my cancelNotification() method, so if onDestroy() got called after onCreate(), it removed my notification.
Which brings me to a new question: Why is it destroying and recreating my activity after I've followed every answer I could find on here on how to stop that from happening?
You can find that question here How to make notification resume and not recreate activity? if you want to help me solve it...

I had this issue too. My Solution is the add extra on the function that creates the intent
private void addNotification(String headLine, String info, Context context) {
mBuilder =
new NotificationCompat.Builder(context)
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.icon) //R.drawable.icon
.setContentTitle(headLine)
.setContentText(info)
.setOngoing(true)
.setAutoCancel(false);
// Creates an explicit intent for an Activity in your app
Intent resultIntent = new Intent(context, MainActivity.class);
resultIntent.putExtra("FROM_NOTIF", true);
// The stack builder object will contain an artificial back stack for the
// started Activity.
// This ensures that navigating backward from the Activity leads out of
// your application to the Home screen.
TaskStackBuilder stackBuilder = TaskStackBuilder.create(context);
// Adds the back stack for the Intent (but not the Intent itself)
// stackBuilder.addParentStack(MainActivity.class);
//Adds the Intent that starts the Activity to the top of the stack
stackBuilder.addNextIntent(resultIntent);
PendingIntent resultPendingIntent = stackBuilder.getPendingIntent(0, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
mBuilder.setContentIntent(resultPendingIntent);
mNotificationManager = (NotificationManager) context.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
// mId allows you to update the notification later on.
// mBuilder.setf |= Notification.FLAG_ONGOING_EVENT | Notification.FLAG_NO_CLEAR;
mNotificationManager.notify(mNotification_id, mBuilder.build());
}
and In MainActivity:
#Override
protected void onNewIntent(Intent intent) {
super.onNewIntent(intent);
if (intent.getBooleanExtra("FROM_NOTIF", false)) {
addNotification(...)
... call the function that adds the notification again ..}
So thing is that the notification turns off after the user press on it, but than you can be notify on the activity that started using onNewIntent(), check the intent over there and if you find out that it came from the notification, set it again.

Android notification Resume Activity

I'm trying to make a notification when users pause my app. So to make it easier, users can go quickly to the application using notificaction. This is the code i'm using. It works for all versions before android 4 and i don't know which is the problem
NotificationCompat.Builder mBuilder =
new NotificationCompat.Builder(this)
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher)
.setContentTitle("Titulo")
.setContentText("Titulo");
mBuilder.setOngoing(true);
// Creates an explicit intent for an Activity this
Intent resultIntent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), MainActivity.class);
// put the flags
resultIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP);
TaskStackBuilder stackBuilder = TaskStackBuilder.create(this);
// Adds the back stack for the Intent (but not the Intent itself)
stackBuilder.addParentStack(MainActivity.class);
// Adds the Intent that starts the Activity to the top of the stack
stackBuilder.addNextIntent(resultIntent);
PendingIntent resultPendingIntent =
stackBuilder.getPendingIntent(
0,
PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT
);
mBuilder.setContentIntent(resultPendingIntent);
NotificationManager mNotificationManager =
(NotificationManager) getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
// mId allows you to update the notification later on.
mNotificationManager.notify(mId, mBuilder.build());
So when i press the notification in android 4.0 and higher, the activity is created again instead of resume. any help please, i can't make it work.
EDIT ( forget about manifest singletop )
android:launchMode="singleTop" same result, not working...
My activity contains a map. I'm using the new version of google maps. v2.

I just tried PendingIntent.FLAG_CANCEL_CURRENT and seems to work for me
public void showNotification(String header,String message){
// define sound URI, the sound to be played when there's a notification
Uri soundUri = RingtoneManager.getDefaultUri(RingtoneManager.TYPE_NOTIFICATION);
Intent intent = new Intent(this, MainActivity.class);
//PendingIntent.FLAG_CANCEL_CURRENT will bring the app back up again
PendingIntent pIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(MainActivity.this,PendingIntent.FLAG_CANCEL_CURRENT, intent, 0);
Notification mNotification = new Notification.Builder(this)
.setContentTitle(header)
.setContentText(message)
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher)
.setContentIntent(pIntent)
.setSound(soundUri)
.addAction(R.drawable.ic_launcher, "View", pIntent)
.addAction(0, "Remind", pIntent)
.setOngoing(true)//optional
.build();
NotificationManager notificationManager = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
notificationManager.notify(0, mNotification);
}

Use android:launchMode="singleTop" in the manifest declaration of MainActivity

The only solution that actually worked for me after doing a lot of search is to do the following :
NotificationCompat.Builder builder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this).set...(...).set...(..);
Intent resultIntent = new Intent(this, MainClass.class);
resultIntent.setAction("android.intent.action.MAIN");
resultIntent.addCategory("android.intent.category.LAUNCHER");
PendingIntent resultPendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, resultIntent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
builder.setContentIntent(resultPendingIntent);
NotificationManager mNotificationManager = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
mNotificationManager.notify(0, builder.build());
this opens your current activiy without creating another one !

SOLUTION provided by #Patrick taken from the question and added as answer:
NotificationCompat.Builder mBuilder =
new NotificationCompat.Builder(this)
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.logo)
.setContentTitle(getString(R.string.txt))
.setContentText(getString(R.string.txt));
mBuilder.setOngoing(true);
// Creates an explicit intent for an Activity in your app
Intent resultIntent = new Intent(this, Activity.class);
resultIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP);
// The stack builder object will contain an artificial back stack for the
// started Activity.
// This ensures that navigating backward from the Activity leads out of
// your application to the Home screen.
TaskStackBuilder stackBuilder = TaskStackBuilder.from(this);
// Adds the back stack for the Intent (but not the Intent itself)
stackBuilder.addParentStack(Activity.class);
// Adds the Intent that starts the Activity to the top of the stack
stackBuilder.addNextIntent(resultIntent);
PendingIntent resultPendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, resultIntent, 0);
mBuilder.setContentIntent(resultPendingIntent);
NotificationManager mNotificationManager =
(NotificationManager) getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
// mId allows you to update the notification later on.
mNotificationManager.notify(mId, mBuilder.getNotification());
