I followed this tutorial/example and it mostly works.
https://developer.android.com/google/gcm/client.html#app
When the web service sends out the notification. It comes down into the send notification method with the correct message. The problem is I never see an actual notification on the tablet (it is running not the latest but a newer version of android, I also tried it on 2 tablets).
Here is what my sendNotification looks like. Any ideas?
I have one activity in the app and that is "MainActivity" here if it matters.
private void sendNotification(String msg) {
mNotificationManager = (NotificationManager)
this.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
PendingIntent contentIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0,
new Intent(this, MainActivity.class), 0);
Intent resultIntent = new Intent(this, MainActivity.class);
TaskStackBuilder stackBuilder = TaskStackBuilder.create(this);
stackBuilder.addParentStack(MainActivity.class);
stackBuilder.addNextIntent(resultIntent);
NotificationCompat.Builder mBuilder =
new NotificationCompat.Builder(this)
//.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_stat_gcm)
.setContentTitle("My Messages")
.setStyle(new NotificationCompat.BigTextStyle()
.bigText("test"))
.setContentText("Test");
mBuilder.setContentIntent(contentIntent);
mNotificationManager.notify(NOTIFICATION_ID, mBuilder.build());
}
According to the Notifications Guide the notification must have at least
A small icon, set by setSmallIcon()
A title, set by setContentTitle()
Detail text, set by setContentText()
So setSmallIcon() is required.
What the documentation doesn't mention is that if something is missing it'll just silently not work without any warnings.

I need to create notification in my app. I am building it like this:
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
[...]
mBuilder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this)
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.logo_ico)
.setContentTitle("My notification")
.setContentText("Hello World!");
Intent resultIntent = new Intent(this, MainActivity.class);
TaskStackBuilder stackBuilder = TaskStackBuilder.create(this);
stackBuilder.addParentStack(MainActivity.class);
stackBuilder.addNextIntent(resultIntent);
PendingIntent resultPendingIntent =
stackBuilder.getPendingIntent(
0,
PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT
);
mBuilder.setContentIntent(resultPendingIntent);
notificationManager = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
notificationManager.notify(1, mBuilder.build());
}
My problem is that my notification is cancelled immediately after is was shown for half a second. How can I fix it?
UPDATE:
Could it have to do with my other notification that comes from a framework? It is possible to have multiple notifications, isn't it?
UPDATE 2:
When I put notificationManager.notify(1, mBuilder.build()); in another method, the notification is shown until the end of that method.
Try to set flags on mBuilder:
mBuilder.setFlags(Notification.FLAG_NO_CLEAR);
Yes it is possible to have multiple notifications. To show second notification use another id. e.g. notificationManager.notify(2, mBuilder.build());
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Notification.html#FLAG_NO_CLEAR
I know there are other similar questions, and I've tried them all, WITHOUT success. That's why I'm posting my code here, in case someone can visualize the proper solution for my case and suggest a specific action in the code, please help.
I've tried: Adding some tags to the manifest file in the activity called by the intent, adding flags and actions and categories to the actual intent in the code, creating a dummy activity to be call in the intent with finish(), etc.
Thanks for any suggestion.
NotificationCompat.Builder mBuilder =
new NotificationCompat.Builder(this)
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher)
.setContentTitle(getString(R.string.app_name))
.setStyle(new NotificationCompat.BigTextStyle().bigText(getString(R.string.lampp)))
.setAutoCancel(true)
.setContentText(getString(R.string.lampp));
Intent resultIntent = new Intent(this, MainActivity.class);
TaskStackBuilder stackBuilder = TaskStackBuilder.create(this);
stackBuilder.addParentStack(MainActivity.class);
stackBuilder.addNextIntent(resultIntent);
PendingIntent resultPendingIntent = stackBuilder.getPendingIntent(0,PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
mBuilder.setContentIntent(resultPendingIntent);
NotificationManager mNotificationManager = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
mNotificationManager.notify(0, mBuilder.build());
Thanks to a combination of the answer posted by #Merlevede and a previous post, this is how it was solved:
Use this code for your Notification:
NotificationCompat.Builder mBuilder =
new NotificationCompat.Builder(this)
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher)
.setContentTitle(getString(R.string.app_name))
.setStyle(new NotificationCompat.BigTextStyle().bigText(getString(R.string.lampp)))
.setAutoCancel(false)
.setContentText(getString(R.string.lampp));
Intent resultIntent = new Intent(this, NotiActivity.class);
resultIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP);
PendingIntent resultPendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this,0,resultIntent,PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
mBuilder.setContentIntent(resultPendingIntent);
NotificationManager mNotificationManager = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
mNotificationManager.notify(0, mBuilder.build());
And this is the code for the dummy Activity called in the intent NotiActivity.class:
public class NotiActivity extends Activity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
finish();
}
}
Hope this helps someone out there.
I don't know if this might be useful to you. You might be missing some flags on your notification intent, specially take a look at FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP and FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP.
I use a notification for a service using this code.
Intent notificationIntent = new Intent(this, ActivityMain.class);
notificationIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, notificationIntent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
NotificationCompat.Builder builder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this);
builder.setContentIntent(pendingIntent)
There are a few differences with your code. Also I'm using this notification from a service so I'm using startForeground to set the notification.
It's worth giving it a try.
Below code works perfect in tablet but not in android phone. I want to show notification.
My code is:
if(trigId.equals("0")){
intent=new Intent(this,message_detail.class);
}else{
intent=new Intent(this,appinement_list.class);
}
PendingIntent pIntent=PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, intent, 0);
// nt=new Notification(R.drawable.ic_launcher, "Welco0me", System.currentTimeMillis());
Notification noti = new Notification.Builder(this)
.setContentTitle("Notification From EHIQ").setSound(alarmSound).setContentIntent(pIntent)
.setContentText(" "+Helper_MSGNotification.Subject.get(i)).setSmallIcon(aspl.scorehealth.R.drawable.ic_launcher).build();
NotificationManager manager=(NotificationManager)getSystemService(NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
noti.flags|=Notification.FLAG_AUTO_CANCEL;
manager.notify(i,noti);
I am confuse what is actually problem,please help me.
The NotificationCompat.Builder is the most easy way to create Notifications on all Android versions. You can even use features that are available with Android 4.1. If your app runs on devices with Android >=4.1 the new features will be used, if run on Android <4.1 the notification will be an simple old notification.
Simple replace Notification.Builder with NotificationCompat.Builder, and import android.support.v4.app.NotificationCompat.
To create a simple Notification just do:(see Android API Guide on Notifications)
NotificationCompat.Builder myNotification = new NotificationCompat.Builder(context)
.setContentTitle("Exercise of Notification!")
.setContentText("http://android-er.blogspot.com/")
.setTicker("Notification!")
.setWhen(System.currentTimeMillis())
.setContentIntent(pendingIntent)
.setDefaults(Notification.DEFAULT_SOUND)
.setAutoCancel(true)
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher)
.build();
More Information about NotificationCompat.Builder
try this one,
NotificationCompat.Builder mBuilder =
new NotificationCompat.Builder(context)
.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(getApplicationContext(), MYDEMOACTIVITY.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(context);
// Adds the back stack for the Intent (but not the Intent itself)
stackBuilder.addParentStack(MYDEMOACTIVITY.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());
In Eclipse Right click on project then choose Android Tools Add support Library Then Install
Changes will be following:
import android.support.v4.app.NotificationCompat;
NotificationCompat.Builder noti = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this);
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());
I used below code for displaying notification in notification Bar.
it worked fine.
But i need to display notification icon dynamically that will come from web service.
How i can do?
NotificationManager nm = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
Notification note = new Notification(R.drawable.image,"status message", System.currentTimeMillis());
Intent in = new Intent(Notify.this,CommentU.class);
PendingIntent pi = PendingIntent.getActivity(Notify.this, 0, in, 0);
note.setLatestEventInfo(Notify.this,"NotificationTitle", "You have a new Commentio", pi);
note.number = ++count;
note.vibrate = new long[] { 500l, 200l, 200l, 500l };
note.flags |= Notification.FLAG_AUTO_CANCEL;
nm.notify(NOTIFY_ME_ID, note);
Thanks in Advance.
I have one suggestion for you: you have to download that image which you want to show and then you can set that as bitmap: check below code. I have created one BITMAP.
its look link :
for this you have to add android-support-v4.jar
NotificationCompat.Builder mBuilder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(
this).setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher)
.setContentTitle("My notification").setLargeIcon(BITMAP)
.setContentText("Hello World!");
Intent resultIntent = new Intent(this, test.class);
TaskStackBuilder stackBuilder = TaskStackBuilder.create(this);
stackBuilder.addParentStack(test.class);
stackBuilder.addNextIntent(resultIntent);
PendingIntent resultPendingIntent = stackBuilder.getPendingIntent(0,
PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
mBuilder.setContentIntent(resultPendingIntent);
NotificationManager mNotificationManager = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
mNotificationManager.notify(NOTIFY_ME_ID, mBuilder.build());
for more detail chekc this link.
Removing notifications
Notifications remain visible until one of the following happens:
The user dismisses the notification either individually or by using "Clear All" (if the notification can be cleared).
The user clicks the notification, and you called setAutoCancel() when you created the notification.
You call cancel() for a specific notification ID. This method also deletes ongoing notifications.
You call cancelAll(), which removes all of the notifications you previously issued.
Edited: just replace this.
mBuilder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(
this).setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher)
.setContentTitle("My notification").setLargeIcon(BITMAP)
.setAutoCancel(true)
.setContentText("Hello World!");
just add some icons in your resource folder and then
int myIcon = R.drawable.image;
your logic goes here ....
and change value of icon according to your logic like myIcon = R.drawable.somenewimage;
and then finally set your notification
Notification note = new Notification(myIcon,"status message", System.currentTimeMillis());
