I'm trying to build an Android application that sends a notification to an Android Wear device.
The notification needs to have a content action set, so that the user can directly activate the action by clicking on the button displayed in the notification.
However, using the below code, the action appears on the next page, just like a regular action, and not on the notification:
Context context = getApplicationContext();
// Create an intent for the reply action
Intent actionIntent = new Intent(this, getClass());
PendingIntent actionPendingIntent =
PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, actionIntent,
PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
// Create the action
NotificationCompat.Action action =
new NotificationCompat.Action.Builder(R.drawable.common_signin_btn_icon_dark, "ActionTitle", actionPendingIntent).build();
NotificationCompat.Builder builder =
new NotificationCompat.Builder(context)
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.common_signin_btn_icon_dark)
.setContentTitle("Title")
.setContentText("Context Text")
.addAction(action)
.extend(new NotificationCompat.WearableExtender()
.setContentAction(0));
// Get an instance of the NotificationManager service
NotificationManagerCompat notificationManager =
NotificationManagerCompat.from(this);
// Build the notification and issues it with notification manager.
notificationManager.notify(0, builder.build());
This is how it looks:
After swiping:
It is supposed to all be on a single page, with the Action button imbedded into the notification, like this:
What am I doing wrong?

I researched and the only answers I could find either told:
How to disable the notification bar from being pulled down.
How to cancel a notification using:
NotificationManager notificationManager = (NotificationManager)context.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
notificationManager.cancel(0);
Both of these aren't what I require as the notification gets cancelled fine. I've set two actions in my notification: 'Dismiss' and 'Open Activity'. As the name implies, upon clicking both, the above code executes and clears the notification but doesn't cause the notification bar from going back up. This is needed, specially when the second Notification Action causes an Activity launch.
I tried on Android Lollipop and Nougat and the notification bar didn't go back up in either. So if someone could kindly tell me if it is even possible and how.
Thanks.
The code for building the notification:
NotificationCompat.Builder builder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this);
builder
.setSmallIcon(icon).setTicker(message).setWhen(when)
.setAutoCancel(true).setContentTitle("Kindly record your Voice")
.setColor(Color.RED);
notificationIntent = new Intent(this,ReminderReceiver.class);
notificationIntent.setAction("Record");
PendingIntent pendIntent1 = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(getApplicationContext(), 1, notificationIntent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
builder.addAction(R.drawable.common_google_signin_btn_icon_dark, "Record", pendIntent1);
notificationIntent2 = new Intent(this, ReminderReceiver.class);
notificationIntent2.setAction("Dismissed");
PendingIntent pendIntent2 = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(getApplicationContext(), 1, notificationIntent2, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
builder.addAction(R.drawable.starticon, "Dismiss", pendIntent2);
notificationIntent3 = new Intent(this, CancelReceiver.class);
PendingIntent pendIntent3 = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(getApplicationContext(), 1, notificationIntent3, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
builder.setDeleteIntent(pendIntent3);
notification = builder.build();
notification.flags |= Notification.FLAG_AUTO_CANCEL;
notificationManager.notify(1, notification);
Might seem weird, but the notification bar doesn't go up when there are other notifications present. If yours is the only notification, the bar slides up automatically upon clicking.

You can define actions you want to happen when interacting with your Notification by adding a PendingIntent.
In the following example a PendingIntent is created to launch the (current) activity.
That intent is then added to the notification in the content section. Once this notification is shown, when you click the content section, the intent is fired and the app gets started or brought back to top.
private static final int NOTIFICATION_ID = 1;
...
NotificationManager nm = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
NotificationCompat.Builder nb = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0,
new Intent(this, MainActivity.class)
.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP),
0);
nb.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.abc_ic_ab_back_mtrl_am_alpha)
.setCategory(NotificationCompat.CATEGORY_STATUS)
.setVisibility(NotificationCompat.VISIBILITY_PUBLIC)
.setContentTitle(getText(R.string.app_name))
.setContentText("Click to launch!")
.setWhen(System.currentTimeMillis())
.setContentIntent(pendingIntent) // Here the "onClick" Intent is added
.setOngoing(false);
nm.notify(NOTIFICATION_ID, nb.build());
In this case the notification is dismissable. If you set .setOngoing(true) you need to remove it by calling .cancel(NOTIFICATION_ID) on an instance of the NotificationManager.
See also this introduction on how to Build a Notification.
I'm following Google's instructions here https://developer.android.com/training/wearables/notifications/creating.html
However, unsurprisingly, their code doesn't work. Specifically I'm trying to do this:
// Build the notification and add the action via WearableExtender
Notification notification =
new Notification.Builder(context)
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.buzz_icon)
.setContentTitle("Buzz")
.setContentText("OpenBuzz")
.extend(new Notification.WearableExtender().addAction(action))
.build();
I want an action specific to the Wearable, so I have no choice but to use Notification.WearableExtender(). But it's addAction method only accepts an action as it's parameter. Here is my code for creating an action:
Notification.Action action =
Notification.Action.Builder(R.drawable.buzz_icon, actionIntent.toString(), pendingIntent);
Which doesn't work, as Android Studio says "Method call expected"
How can I successfully create a Notification.Action?
Or how else might I add a Wearable specific action to my notification?
You're on the right track.
You need to create a new NotificationCompat.Action.Builder and then call build() on it. Like this:
NotificationCompat.Action action =
new NotificationCompat.Action.Builder(android.R.drawable.ic_menu_call, "Only in wearable", pendingIntent)
.build();
Also, make sure that the action is defined as NotificationCompat.Action, not Notification.Action.
This example illustrates how to add a notification with an action (e.g. open the main activity).
NotificationCompat.Builde mBuilder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this, null);
Intent myIntent = new Intent(this, MainActivity.class);
PendingIntent myPendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, myIntent, 0);
mBuilder.setContentTitle("Your_title")
.setContentText("Some_text")
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.app_icon)
.setVisibility(Notification.VISIBILITY_PUBLIC)
.setOngoing(true)
.addAction(R.drawable.open_icon, "Open", myPendingIntent)
.setAutoCancel(false);
NotificationManager mNotifyManager = (NotificationManager) getApplicationContext().getSystemService(NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
mNotifyManager.notify(1, mBuilder.build());
I want to put a notification in android top bar, and when user click on it, downloadmanager will start download the file. How to set the pendingIntent for this notification?
Android Notifications - Tutorial will definitely help you achieve what you want.
An excerpt of what you want from that is below. You can call the following function:
public void createNotification(View view) {
// Prepare intent which is triggered if the
// notification is selected
Intent intent = new Intent(this, NotificationReceiverActivity.class);
PendingIntent pIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, intent, 0);
// Build notification
// Actions are just fake
Notification noti = new Notification.Builder(this)
.setContentTitle("Title")
.setContentText("Subject").setSmallIcon(R.drawable.icon)
.setContentIntent(pIntent)
.addAction(R.drawable.icon, "Call", pIntent)
.addAction(R.drawable.icon, "And more", pIntent).build();
NotificationManager notificationManager = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
// Hide the notification after its selected
noti.flags |= Notification.FLAG_AUTO_CANCEL;
notificationManager.notify(0, noti);
}
For starting the download manager, you might have to adjust the function accordingly. Check the tutorial link for detailed understanding. Also there are other relevant answers which might help:

I tried to use the Notification.Builder and the Notification classes.
I tried using this code :
Notification notification = new Notification.Builder(this).build();
notification.icon = R.drawable.ic_launcher;
notification.notify();
but it seems useless.
I only want my app's icon to be added next to the battery icon,wifi icon and 3g icons.. Any way to do that? I appreciate your help.
You have to call the method build() after you have finished describing your notification. Check out the Android reference for an example.
Basically, you have to change your code to the following:
Context context = getApplicationContext();
NotificationCompat.Builder builder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(context )
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher);
Intent intent = new Intent( context, MainActivity.class);
PendingIntent pIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, mID , intent, 0);
builder.setContentIntent(pIntent);
NotificationManager mNotificationManager = (NotificationManager) context.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
Notification notif = builder.build();
mNotificationManager.notify(mID, notif);
Note: this code will only allow to show your icon in the notification bar. If you want it to persist there, you will have to use FLAG_ONGOING_EVENT
You can add your app icon for status bar notification. Try this one
Notification notification = new Notification.Builder(this).setSmallIcon(R.mipmap.ic_launcher).build();
