I'm having trouble in figuring out the Intent, PendingIntent Filters and Flags for notifications.
Notification are working and are getting generated as they should, but the problem is only the last notification created keeps the Bundle Data.
I want all notification to keep the Bundle Data of each notification in it until a user click on them.
Consider an application for a moment when different user send you a message a new notification gets created and when you click on any notification the app launches and takes you to some specific Activity. I want the same thing but when there are more than one notification the last notification keeps the Data where as previous notification loose their Bundle Data and Intent.
There is another thing which Filters to use to restrict the app from launching a new instance of MainActivity everytime a notification is clicked at.
The Notification_ID are different for each notification.
public class AlarmSchedulingService extends IntentService {
private NotificationManager mNotificationManager;
public AlarmSchedulingService() {
super("SchedulingService");
}
protected void onHandleIntent(Intent intent) {
Bundle extras = intent.getExtras();
sendNotification(extras.getInt(KEY_EXTRAS_NOTIFICATION_ID));
}
public void sendNotification(int NOTIFICATION_ID) {
mNotificationManager = (NotificationManager) this
.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
Intent intent = new Intent(this, MainActivity.class);
intent.putExtra(keyName, extraData);
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP);
PendingIntent contentIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0,
intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
// use the right class it should be called from the where alarms are set
NotificationCompat.Builder mBuilder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(
this)
.setAutoCancel(true)
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher)
.setContentTitle(titleString)
.setStyle(
new NotificationCompat.BigTextStyle()
.bigText(messageString))
.setDefaults(
Notification.DEFAULT_SOUND
| Notification.DEFAULT_LIGHTS)
.setContentText(messageString);
mBuilder.setContentIntent(contentIntent);
mNotificationManager.notify(NOTIFICATION_ID, mBuilder.build());
}
}
This is Showing that :
PendingIntent contentIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0,
intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
You are giving request code 0 to all notifications.
0 should be replaced by each unique number, otherwise, each new notification will override the old one.

Notification setAutoCancel(true) doesn't work if clicking on Action
I have a notification with an action within it. When I tap on the notification it gets removed from the list. However, when I click on the Action it successfully completes the Action (namely makes a call), but when I return to the list of notifications, it remains there.
Relative code of the AlarmReceiver:
public class AlarmReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
Meeting meeting;
/**
* Handle received notifications about meetings that are going to start
*/
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
// Get extras from the notification intent
Bundle extras = intent.getExtras();
this.meeting = extras.getParcelable("MeetingParcel");
// build notification pending intent to go to the details page when click on the body of the notification
Intent notificationIntent = new Intent(context, MeetingDetails.class);
notificationIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
notificationIntent.putExtra("MeetingParcel", meeting); // send meeting that we received to the MeetingDetails class
notificationIntent.putExtra("notificationIntent", true); // flag to know where the details screen is opening from
PendingIntent pIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0, notificationIntent, 0);
// build intents for the call now button
Intent phoneCall = Call._callIntent(meeting);
if (phoneCall != null) {
PendingIntent phoneCallIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0, phoneCall, PendingIntent.FLAG_CANCEL_CURRENT);
int flags = Notification.FLAG_AUTO_CANCEL;
// build notification object
NotificationCompat.Builder builder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(context);
Notification notification = builder.setContentTitle("Call In")
.setContentText(intent.getStringExtra("contextText"))
.setTicker("Call In Notification")
.setColor(ContextCompat.getColor(context, R.color.colorBluePrimary))
.setAutoCancel(true) // will remove notification from the status bar once is clicked
.setDefaults(Notification.DEFAULT_ALL) // Default vibration, default sound, default LED: requires VIBRATE permission
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.icon_notifications)
.setStyle(new NotificationCompat.BigTextStyle()
.bigText(meeting.description))
.addAction(R.drawable.icon_device, "Call Now", phoneCallIntent)
.setCategory(Notification.CATEGORY_EVENT) // handle notification as a calendar event
.setPriority(Notification.PRIORITY_HIGH) // this will show the notification floating. Priority is high because it is a time sensitive notification
.setContentIntent(pIntent).build();
notification.flags = flags;
// tell the notification manager to notify the user with our custom notification
NotificationManager notificationManager = (NotificationManager) context.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
notificationManager.notify(0, notification);
}
}
}
use this flag:
Notification.FLAG_AUTO_CANCEL
inside this:
int flags = Notification.FLAG_AUTO_CANCEL;
Notification notification = builder.build();
notification.flags = flags;

Ok turns out it's a known problem already, and it needs extra code to be done (keeping reference to notification through id). Have no clue why API does not provide this, as it seems very logical to do. But anyways,
see this answer in stackoverflow:
When you called notify on the notification manager you gave it an id - that is the unique id you can use to access it later (this is from the notification manager:
notify(int id, Notification notification)
To cancel, you would call:
cancel(int id)
with the same id. So, basically, you need to keep track of the id or possibly put the id into a Bundle you add to the Intent inside the PendingIntent?
I faced this problem today, and found that FLAG_AUTO_CANCEL and setAutoCanel(true), both work when click on notification,
but not work for action click
so simply, in the target service or activity of action, cancel the notification
NotificationManager manager = (NotificationManager) this.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
manager.cancelAll();
or if have more notification
manager.cancel(notificationId);
You have created two pending intent use in boths and change Flag too.
PendingIntent pIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, (int) System.currentTimeMillis(), notificationIntent, 0);
PendingIntent phoneCallIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, (int) System.currentTimeMillis(), phoneCall, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
// CHANGE TO THIS LINE
PendingIntent pIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0, notificationIntent, 0);
PendingIntent phoneCallIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0, phoneCall, PendingIntent.FLAG_CANCEL_CURRENT);
I have a class that implements IntentService that retrieve some data from a webservice, and if a condition is verified, show notification on notification bar's device.
This is the code:
public BackgroundService() {
super("SERVICENAME");
}
#Override
protected void onHandleIntent(Intent intent) {
if (verifyConditions()) {
showNotification();
}
}
private void showNotification() {
NotificationCompat.Builder builder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(
this).setContentTitle("title")
.setContentText("content")
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.notification_icon);
// .setContentIntent(pendingIntent);
Intent notificationIntent = new Intent(this.getApplicationContext(),
SplashScreen.class);
PendingIntent contentIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(
this.getApplicationContext(), 0, notificationIntent, 0);
notificationIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP
| Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP);
// set sound
Uri alarmSound = RingtoneManager
.getDefaultUri(RingtoneManager.TYPE_NOTIFICATION);
builder.setSound(alarmSound);
builder.setContentIntent(contentIntent);
Notification notification = builder.build();
// Hide the notification after it's selected
notification.flags |= Notification.FLAG_AUTO_CANCEL;
NotificationManager notificationManager = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
notificationManager.notify(0, notification);
}
Now if user tap on notification, SplashScreen activity is launched (it's first activity of my app). this is ok if user has close the application, but if application is in foreground, tapping on notification cause restart of app.
There's a fast way to check if app is in foreground, and if yes, launch a different activity thant SplashScreen?
Hope this will help. You check your app is running foreground or not and according to that change intent for PendingIntent visit StackOverFlow : check android application is in foreground or not?
Is it possible not launch new activity if we receive a push notification while the app is running?
My activity works with fragments and I want to do transition to a determinate fragment when the notification is received. My activity have data that I need to show the fragments. The problem is that when I receive the push notification while the app is running the method onDestroy is called and here I clear the data and then the app crash because the data are null. How can I do to not create new activity when the app receive a push notification while is running? In case the app is running I want that if you click the notification do a transition fragment, not create again the activity.
Thanks in advance.
First of all, I think that you mean "notification" to be a "message", but not android.app.Notification class.
And second, I don't think it's a best practise to raise new GUI when receiving a message, which would interrupt the user interaction. For details, please refer to: http://developer.android.com/training/notify-user/index.html and http://developer.android.com/design/patterns/notifications.html.
At last, if you really wanna do what you stated in your thread, I wonder why the data used to generate the show-data fragment is held in the activity. Try holding the data in an android.app.IntentService object, and then generate transfer the data to new activity, and then use android.app.Fragment.setArguments method to transfer the data from activity to fragment.
I think that this code will help you. This which you need is PendingIntent, it make transaction to desired activity.
/**
* Issues a notification to inform the user that server has sent a message.
*/
private static void generateNotification(Context context, String title,
String message) {
//get the default notification sound URI
Uri uriNotificationSound = RingtoneManager.getDefaultUri(RingtoneManager.TYPE_NOTIFICATION);
//make intent to the application. if the application is opened just maximize it.
Intent homeIntent = new Intent(context, 'your desired activity');
homeIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_REORDER_TO_FRONT);
PendingIntent contentIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0,
homeIntent, 0);
NotificationCompat.Builder mBuilder =
new NotificationCompat.Builder(context)
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher)
.setContentTitle("eCommCongress")
.setContentText(message)
.setLights(Color.GREEN, 1500, 1500)
.setSound(uriNotificationSound)
.setAutoCancel(true)
.setContentIntent(contentIntent);
NotificationManager mNotificationManager =
(NotificationManager) context.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
// mId allows you to update the notification later on.
mNotificationManager.notify(counter, mBuilder.build());
counter++;
}
It is perfectly possible and I do such a thing in one of my apps. First, you need to declare your activity as android:launchMode="singleTop",
Then, when you build you must configure your pending intent not to fire a new instance of your activity:
mNotificationManager = (NotificationManager)
this.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
Intent intent = new Intent("YOUR ACTION HERE");
intent.setClassName(this, MainActivity.class.getName());
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP);
PendingIntent resultPendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(getApplicationContext(), 0, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_CANCEL_CURRENT);
NotificationCompat.Builder mBuilder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this);
mBuilder.setContentIntent(resultPendingIntent);
Notification notification = mBuilder.build();
notification.defaults |= Notification.DEFAULT_VIBRATE | Notification.DEFAULT_LIGHTS;
notification.flags |= Notification.FLAG_SHOW_LIGHTS | Notification.FLAG_AUTO_CANCEL;
mNotificationManager.notify(idNotificacion,notification);
Now all you have to do is to override your onNewIntent inside your Activity and do whatever you want with your fragment:
#Override
protected void onNewIntent(Intent intent) {
MiLog.i(getApplicationContext(),"IntentShit","new intent received");
MiLog.i(getApplicationContext(),"IntentShit","Action: "+intent.getAction());
if(intent.getAction()!=null && intent.getAction().equals("YOUR ACTION HERE"){
//DO your stuff here
}
}

I am using a service to receive some GCM messages from the could. I put the message into an extra and passing it to the class I want to start, there I display the message inside a dialog.
But the next time I get a message it should update the content of the intent opened earlier, the problem is that I get an exception and my app crashes, eclipse is forcing me to use "FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK" to solve the crash, but this way my "PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT" will be ignored.
How could I update the previously opened intent? Creating a third activity and passing the data back and fort seems to me a bad solution.
Service class:
...
private void sendNotification(String msg, Bundle extras)
{
mNotificationManager = (NotificationManager) this.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
Intent intent = new Intent(this, DriverDetails.class);
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
// If this is a notification type message include the data from the message
// with the intent
if (extras != null)
{
intent.putExtras(extras);
intent.putExtra("message", msg);
intent.setAction("com.myGcm.NOTIFICATION");
startActivity(intent);
}
PendingIntent contentIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, intent,
PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
NotificationCompat.Builder mBuilder =
new NotificationCompat.Builder(this)
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_stat_cloud)
.setContentTitle("GCM Notification")
.setStyle(new NotificationCompat.BigTextStyle().bigText(msg))
.setContentText(msg)
.setTicker(msg)
.setAutoCancel(true)
.setSound(Settings.System.DEFAULT_NOTIFICATION_URI);
mBuilder.setContentIntent(contentIntent);
mNotificationManager.notify(NOTIFICATION_ID, mBuilder.build());
}
...
You're solution should be LocalBroadcastManager. It is pretty simple: just register a listener in the onResumeof your Activity and fire an Intent with the Update-Information from anywhere else. I attached two links wich should guide you ;)
how to use LocalBroadcastManager?

My app is getting called by an intent that is passing information(pendingintent in statusbar) but when I hit the home button and reopen my app by holding the home button it calls the intent again and the same extras are still there...
is there any way to clear the intent? or check whether it has been used before?
Intent intent = new Intent(context, MainActivity.class);
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
intent.putExtra("reportID", reportID);
intent.putExtra("message", message);
intent.putExtra("toast_show", true);
intent.putExtra("detail_open", true);
intent.putExtra("SplashActivity", true);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent
.getActivity(context.getApplicationContext(), 0, intent,
PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT
| PendingIntent.FLAG_ONE_SHOT);
// Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK
/* get the system service that manage notification NotificationManager */
NotificationManager notificationManager = (NotificationManager) context
.getApplicationContext().getSystemService(
Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
NotificationCompat.Builder notificationBuilder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(
context.getApplicationContext())
.setWhen(when)
.setContentText(message)
.setContentTitle(title)
.setSmallIcon(smalIcon)
.setAutoCancel(true)
.setTicker(message)
.setLargeIcon(largeIcon)
.setDefaults(
Notification.DEFAULT_LIGHTS
| Notification.DEFAULT_VIBRATE
| Notification.DEFAULT_SOUND)
.setContentIntent(pendingIntent);
/* Create notification with builder */
Notification notification = notificationBuilder.build();
notificationManager.notify(0, notification);
The problem starts when I receive a notification. If I start the app from the notification, it starts the correct screen and I can use the app => ok. But when I quit the app (with home or back button) it do not appears anymore in the "recent app" list. More precisely:
Does anyone knows how to keep the app in the "recent app" list after being started form a notification?
Update this line and try
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, (int)(Math.random() * 100),intent,PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
What you need is the PendingIntent.FLAG_CANCEL_CURRENT :
If the described PendingIntent already exists, the current one is canceled before generating a new one. You can use this to retrieve a new PendingIntent when you are only changing the extra data in the Intent; by canceling the previous pending intent, this ensures that only entities given the new data will be able to launch it.
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(
context, 0, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_CANCEL_CURRENT);
This will ensure that your latest data will pe present on your Intent.
