Android push message issue, getting old message always on display screen

please help me out. I am stuck with GCM push message.
Everything working perfect but when I am trying to display my message on next screen I am getting always old one or first one.
But If I check my log cat, I am getting new message always from the server. So where is problem I am not getting. I have tried many code on stackoverflow. Here is the snippet of my code-
// this is the my service class
public class GCMIntentService extends GCMBaseIntentService {
public GCMIntentService() {
super(SENDER_ID);
}
// this is the onMessage revive method
#Override
protected void onMessage(Context context, Intent intent) {
Log.i(TAG, "new message= ");
String message = intent.getExtras().getString("message");
generateNotification(context, message);
System.out.println(message+"++++++++++1");
}
// this is the notification method
private void generateNotification(Context context, String message) {
System.out.println(message+"++++++++++2");
int icon = R.drawable.ic_launcher;
long when = System.currentTimeMillis();
NotificationManager notificationManager = (NotificationManager) context.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
Notification notification = new Notification(icon, message, when);
String title = context.getString(R.string.app_name);
String subTitle = "Important News for you!";
Intent notificationIntent = new Intent(context, NotificationView.class);
notificationIntent.putExtra("content", message);
//PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0, notificationIntent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
//PendingIntent intent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0,notificationIntent, 0);
PendingIntent intent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0, notificationIntent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
notificationIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP| Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP);
notification.setLatestEventInfo(context, title, subTitle, intent);
//To play the default sound with your notification:
notification.defaults |= Notification.DEFAULT_SOUND;
notification.flags |= Notification.FLAG_AUTO_CANCEL;
notification.defaults |= Notification.DEFAULT_VIBRATE;
notificationManager.notify(0, notification);
}
public class NotificationView extends Activity {
// and this is the my next activity where i am displaying push message-
Intent intent=getIntent();
stringValue=intent.getStringExtra("content");
System.out.println(stringValue);
I have already try-
PendingIntent intent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0,notificationIntent, 0);
and this-
PendingIntent intent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0, notificationIntent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
Both did not work for me.

Code is fine ,Try using String Buffer may because String Data cant be change unless new is specified every time im new here give me vote up :)

Open a push notification to specific tab on android tab group

I'm new to tabs and push notifications. I want my push notification to open up to a specific tab on my app. I have been able to achieve this, but the tab bar is missing because of the way I have implemented the intent. I'm using the TabActivity to handle the tabs. Is there a way to write the intent so it will open up the app to a certain tab?
private static void generateNotification(Context context, String message) {
int icon = R.drawable.ic_launcher;
long when = System.currentTimeMillis();
String appname = context.getResources().getString(R.string.app_name);
NotificationManager notificationManager = (NotificationManager) context.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
int currentapiVersion = android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT;
Notification notification;
PendingIntent contentIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0,new Intent(context, FriendGroupActivity.class), 0);
notification = new Notification(icon, message, 0);
notification.setLatestEventInfo(context, appname, message, contentIntent);
notification.flags = Notification.FLAG_AUTO_CANCEL;
notificationManager.notify(0, notification);
}

When you create the actual Intent you're launching with
new Intent(context, FriendGroupActivity.class)
you should just include more info either in the data URI or extras Bundle, that you then can use in your Activity's onCreate() to switch to the tab you care about

Bundle data is not updating in the activity passed from a notification in service, always populating the first bundle

I am handling push notification in my application using GCMIntentService. I am creating a status bar notification and navigating to an activity using pending Intent.
my Code for creating a notification is :
private static void generateNotification(Context context, String message, String title1, String desc, String soln, String date, String time) {
int icon = R.drawable.notification_icon;
long when = System.currentTimeMillis();
Log.i("","###### notificatin"+title1+desc+soln+message);
NotificationManager notificationManager = (NotificationManager) context.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
Notification notification = new Notification(icon, message, when);
String title = context.getString(R.string.app_name);
Intent notificationIntent = new Intent(context,AppLog.class);
notificationIntent.putExtra(Description.REQUEST_FROM, "notification");
notificationIntent.putExtra(Description.INFO_TITLE, title1);
notificationIntent.putExtra(Description.INFO_DESC, desc);
notificationIntent.putExtra(Description.INFO_SOLUTION, soln);
notificationIntent.putExtra(Description.INFO_DATE, date);
notificationIntent.putExtra(Description.INFO_TIME, time);
PendingIntent pIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0,notificationIntent, 0);
notification.setLatestEventInfo(context, title, message, pIntent);
Uri uri= RingtoneManager.getDefaultUri(RingtoneManager.TYPE_NOTIFICATION);
notification.sound=uri;
notification.flags |= Notification.FLAG_AUTO_CANCEL;
notificationManager.notify(0, notification);
}
And inside my AppLog.class I am handling it like :
if(bundle!=null && bundle.containsKey(Description.REQUEST_FROM)){
Log.i("","###### applog"+bundle);
}
When the first notification is sent to the device data will be populated correctly in my AppLog Activity class. But onwards for all notifications it always show me the old bundle.
I tried everything but still the issue persist. Is there any issue with pending intents or notification created from services ?

This works
PendingIntent pIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0,notificationIntent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);

Instead of always passing a 0 value as the second parameter try and pass a random number.
Random r = new Random();
int no = r.nextInt(999999);
PendingIntent pIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, no,notificationIntent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);

How to properly clear all notification once clicked?

I send a few notification on the notification bar, i wanted to clear all of it when one of the notification is clicked. For now I clear one by one by using Flag. I know notificationManager.cancelAll() could clear all the notification but where should i put so that i can trigger once one of the notification is clicked.
private static void generateNotification(Context context, String message) {
int icon = R.drawable.ic_launcher;
long when = System.currentTimeMillis();
NotificationManager notificationManager = (NotificationManager)
context.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
Notification notification = new Notification(icon, message, when);
String title = context.getString(R.string.app_name);
Intent notificationIntent = new Intent(context, MainActivity.class);
// set intent so it does not start a new activity
notificationIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP |
Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP);
PendingIntent intent =
PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0, notificationIntent, 0);
notification.setLatestEventInfo(context, title, message, intent);
notification.flags |= Notification.FLAG_AUTO_CANCEL;
notificationManager.notify(msgid, notification);
//notificationManager.cancelAll(); //i wan to clear all when the notification is clicked, where should i put this line?
}

My solution is to call it at onResume().
#Override
protected void onResume() {
super.onResume();
// Clear all notification
NotificationManager nMgr = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
nMgr.cancelAll();
}

You should use a pending intent that sends a broadcast and then put in place a broadcast receiver that will cancel all your notifications. It is best to memorize all notifications IDs and delete them one by one.

Launch App from Notification with data

I'm trying to use C2DM to trigger a push notification on my android phone, and have the user click the notification and launch a certain activity in the app. How can I pass this information along?
Currently I'm doing the following:
String ns = Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE;
NotificationManager mNotificationManager
= (NotificationManager) getSystemService(ns);
int icon = R.drawable.notification23;
Notification notification = new Notification(icon, tickerText, when);
notification.flags |= Notification.FLAG_ONGOING_EVENT | Notification.FLAG_AUTO_CANCEL;
Context appContext = getApplicationContext();
Intent notificationIntent = new Intent(this, RequestDialogActivity.class);
notificationIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP
| Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP);
notificationIntent.putExtra(LocationHandler.KEY_ORIGINATOR, number);
PendingIntent contentIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, notificationIntent, 0);
notification.setLatestEventInfo(appContext, contentTitle, contentText, contentIntent);
final int id = 1;
mNotificationManager.notify(id, notification);
I'm trying to store state by calling putExtra on the notificationIntent, but the new activity always has a null savedInstanceState Bundle. How can I pass information along?

the extras you set in the intent have to be retrieved by the getIntent().getExtras() the savedInsanceState is more about retrieve the state when the application have been closed by the system and you want to recover the same state that user saw last time.
