Cannot set anything to stickynotification

I am starting stickynotification from my service using startForeground. Notification does show up however my settings, like title or intent to show up when clicked does not take effect.
#Override
public void onCreate()
{
Intent notificationIntent = new Intent(this, MainActivity.class);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0,
notificationIntent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT | PendingIntent.FLAG_ONE_SHOT);
Notification notification = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this)
//.setSmallIcon(R.mipmap.app_icon)
.setContentTitle("My Awesome App")
.setContentText("Doing some work...")
.setContentInfo("Server is running")
.setContentIntent(pendingIntent).build();
startForeground(1337, notification);
super.onCreate();
}
Notification shows app name and touch for more info or to stop....
When clicked it takes me to app info where i can forestop or uninstall it.

If anybody out there in this universe having same problem i suggest do not overclock your brain else you will endup missing small things like requesting permissions.
Setting up icon fixed my issue.

Only one Notifcation is clicable from a few

The problem is: in my code im sending 4 notification. But only one top notifacation opens my Activity another 3 do nothing on click.
Here is my code to send Notificaiton. I do it 4 times in my program.
The Notification ID is always diferrent.
Intent notificationIntent = new Intent(context, MainActivity.class);
PendingIntent contentIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context,
0, notificationIntent,
PendingIntent.FLAG_CANCEL_CURRENT);
NotificationCompat.Builder builder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(context);
builder.setContentIntent(contentIntent)
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.element)
.setContentTitle(getResources().getString(R.string.app_name))
.setContentText(messages.get(messageCount).toString());
Notification notification = builder.build();
NotificationManagerCompat notificationManager = NotificationManagerCompat.from(context);
notificationManager.notify(messageCount, notification);
Please Help . Thanks!

The problem is that android "eat" the same intents from pending intent.
You need to make them different using different extra and/or request codes

How to choice activity to open when notification clicked

Is there way to choice the activity to start just in moment of clicking notification?
I can use setContentIntent when I build notification. But being once shown it seems not possible to set or change content intent in moment of click...

The work-around I would suggest is to direct the setContentIntent to a simple activity , which handles you specific cases in the onCreate() with the needed intent of your choice.

try this
Intent intent = new Intent(this, YOURACTIVITY.class);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0 /* Request code */, intent,
PendingIntent.FLAG_ONE_SHOT);
NotificationCompat.Builder notificationBuilder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this)
.setContentIntent(pendingIntent);

android clear intent which send from notification

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.

how to start aplication or bring to front when user clicks on a notification click on android

I'm working whit push notifications.
When a user clicks on a notification I want to start the application in case it is not started, or bring it to front in case it is started.
Thanks

this is the complite code I found the answer here Bring application to front after user clicks on home button
Intent intent = new Intent(ctx, SplashScreen.class);
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_MAIN);
intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_LAUNCHER);
PendingIntent contentIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(ctx, 0,
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_REORDER_TO_FRONT),
PendingIntent.FLAG_CANCEL_CURRENT);
NotificationCompat.Builder mBuilder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(
ctx).setContentTitle(extras.getString("title"))
.setContentText(extras.getString("message"))
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher)
.setContentIntent(contentIntent);
Notification noti = mBuilder.build();
noti.flags = Notification.DEFAULT_LIGHTS
| Notification.FLAG_AUTO_CANCEL;
mNotificationManager.notify(NOTIFICATION_ID, noti);
The important things are the flags on the Intent, this will open the app or bring it to front if is opened, or do nothing if you click on the notification while you are browsing the app

implement pending intent.
Code
Intent pi = new Intent();
pi.setClass(getApplicationContext(), youactivity.class);
// The PendingIntent to launch our activity if the user selects this notification
PendingIntent contentIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0,pi, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
String msgText = mMessage;
// construct the Notification object.
Notification notif = new Notification(R.drawable.icon, msgText,System.currentTimeMillis());
manifest
<activity android:name="com.InfoActivity" android:noHistory="false android:excludeFromRecents="false"></activity>

Just set the intent for the notification, this is covered in details in the official API guide.

You do that by creating a PendingIntent.
For example, this will launch a MainActivity when notification is clicked.
Intent intent = new Intent(this, MainActivity.class);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, intent, 0);
Notification noti = new Notification.Builder(this)
.setContentTitle("Notication title")
.setContentText("Content text")
.setContentIntent(pendingIntent).build();

I don't know whether you're talking about Google Cloud Messaging or not. But if it is a normal Notification then while creating your notification you've to provide Pending Intent. Just put your desired class in Pending intent so that when user clicks on that notification you'll be driven to your so called Application. A snippet :
PendingIntent contentIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, new Intent(this,
"Your application activity".class), PendingIntent."Flag you want");
After this use this intent while creating notification. It's method is setContentIntent("above intent") and fire your notification with NotificationManager!
