I would like to be able to fire a notification to alert the users about a timer that has finished, however i do not wish to have an intent when you click the notification.
I've tried passing in null for the intent
String ns = Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE;
NotificationManager mNotificationManager = (NotificationManager) context.getSystemService(ns);
int icon = R.drawable.icon;
CharSequence tickerText = "Hello";
long when = System.currentTimeMillis();
Notification notification = new Notification(icon, tickerText, when);
CharSequence contentTitle = "My notification";
CharSequence contentText = "Hello World!";
notification.setLatestEventInfo(context, contentTitle, contentText, null);
mNotificationManager.notify(HELLO_ID, notification);
You may pass the parameter
PendingIntent.getActivity(getApplicationContext(), 0, new Intent(), 0)
instead of
null
on
notification.setLatestEventInfo(context, contentTitle, contentText, null);
The last parameter in setLatestEventInfo() is a PendingIntent and not an Intent. If you need the notification to not do anything when tapped is to pass an empty PendingIntent which is done as follows: PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0, null, 0).
Interesting question and I would like to see if this works. I did a little digging and found a lot of ppl asking the same question. cbursk seems to have found a hack to get this intended functionality, which is to pass a Dialog to the notification intent instead of an Activity. I'm guessing the Dialog does nothing, or is programmed to dismiss itself right away, not sure. But I'm currently looking at this thread and going to test it out.

I am working on an Android application.The app is like native sms application.I am facing a problem in notification part. In native app, they handle the notification in the following way.
1)if messages from an specific number ,then the click on the notification will lead to the chat page of the corresponding contact and the notification will clear.
2)if messages from the different number, then the click on the notification will lead to home page and notification won't clear.
I had done the first part and I don't have any idea to do the second part.
Is there any way to leave the notification part without clear and call an intent.?
you have to add a flag:
notification.flags |= Notification.FLAG_ONGOING_EVENT;
here a whole example:
private static final int NOTIFICATION_EX = 0;
private NotificationManager notificationManager;
...
in onCreate:
notificationManager = (NotificationManager)
getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
int icon = R.drawable.youricon;
CharSequence tickerText = "Sticky notification";
long when = System.currentTimeMillis();
Notification notification = new Notification(icon, tickerText, when);
Context context = getApplicationContext();
CharSequence contentTitle = "Sticky notification";
CharSequence contentText = "...click here and it wont go away...";
Intent notificationIntent = new Intent(this, mainmenu.class).setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP
| Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP);
PendingIntent contentIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this,
0, notificationIntent, 0);
notification.setLatestEventInfo(context, contentTitle,
contentText, contentIntent);
notification.flags |= Notification.FLAG_ONGOING_EVENT;
notificationManager.notify(NOTIFICATION_EX, notification);
the intent you can adjust to whatever you like.
You will have to create two different kind of notification, the first one you have already implemented, and the second one you can just copy the first one and check if the number is a different one use the second notification and set the flags to not clear notification2.flags |= Notification.FLAG_ONGOING_EVENT; on click with the HomeActivity in the PendingIntent which has Intent:
I want to notify user of mobile as particular event take place,Using notification bar icon.
Is there any way to do the same?
use this method where you required.its worked for me properly.
Hope it will solve your problem.
private void notification(Context c)
{
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
EfficientAdapter1 e1=new EfficientAdapter1(c);
String ns = Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE;
NotificationManager mNotificationManager = (NotificationManager) e1.no(ns);
//int icon = R.drawable.xyz;//your image
CharSequence tickerText = "ticker text";
long when = System.currentTimeMillis();
Notification notification = new Notification(icon, Text, when);
Context context = c;
CharSequence contentTitle = "your title";
CharSequence contentText = " your text";
Intent notificationIntent = new Intent(context, ViewAllSMS.class);
PendingIntent contentIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0, notificationIntent, 0);
notification.setLatestEventInfo(context, contentTitle, contentText, contentIntent);
final int HELLO_ID = 1;
notification.flags = Notification.FLAG_INSISTENT | Notification.FLAG_AUTO_CANCEL;
mNotificationManager.notify(HELLO_ID, notification);
}
Use the Android NotificationManager (http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Notification.html)
Refer the app dev guide example - http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/notifiers/notifications.html
After setting the required properties and calling the notify method, the status bar would show up the notification which you require.

You can always go for pop ups. they are neat and gives you chance to notify the user. Other wise you can use toast also. Just the problem in toast is that it appears for some time and then disappears, so if somehow user misses that toast he may never know about toast. or say notification. You can see example here
I am developing an Android app and I want a status bar notification that cannot be cleared by the user. Does anyone know how to do that? I've seen them with apps like Skimble where a non-clearable notification appears while using the application.
Also, I'd when the user clicks/presses the notification, I want it to return to the app instance that is already running. Right now it starts a new instance. Again like the Skimble app, I just want to return to the already running instance of the app.
Thanks.
I found a solution to this problem. I used FLAG_ONGOING_EVENT to make the notification persist. Here's the code:
String ns = Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE;
NotificationManager mNotificationManager = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(ns);
int icon = R.drawable.mypic;
long when = System.currentTimeMillis();
Notification notification = new Notification(icon, tickerText, when);
notification.flags = Notification.FLAG_ONGOING_EVENT;
Context context = getApplicationContext();
CharSequence contentTitle = "Title Text";
CharSequence contentText = "Content text.";
Intent intent = new Intent(this, MyClass.class);
intent.setAction("android.intent.action.MAIN");
intent.addCategory("android.intent.category.LAUNCHER");
PendingIntent contentIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, intent, 0);
notification.setLatestEventInfo(context, contentTitle, contentText, contentIntent);
final int HELLO_ID = 1;
mNotificationManager.notify(HELLO_ID, notification);
Here is the solution for the NotificationCompat.Builder
NotificationCompat.Builder builder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this)
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher)
.setContentTitle("MyApp")
.setContentText("MyMsg")
.setOngoing(true);
More at the Google docs.
notification.setLatestEventInfo is deprecated so you have to use the Notification.builder and if your using 2.X and lower API you have to use NotificationComacpt.Builder and this is not applicable and I couldn't make my notification stays. so I used setDeleteIntent and pointed to the same activity and on resume method just call the block of code which shows your notification. So it is kinda work around.
I have some kind of SMS application. So everytime the phone received a new message, it should have a notification and upon clicking it, will launch the activity. Right now, when receiving 1 message, it notifies, removes in the status bar and doesn't not launch the activity. But when receiving 2 or more messages, the first notification cannot launched upon clicking while the rest(2nd, 3rd notification...) can. Below are my codes.
Intent newIntent = new Intent(context, PreviewActivity.class);
newIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK+0);
newIntent.setAction(strFxPrimaryKey);
Bundle newBundle = intent.getExtras();
newBundle.putInt(GlobalConstants.PRIMARY_ID, Integer.parseInt(strFxPrimaryKey));
newIntent.putExtras(newBundle);
int icon = R.drawable.notification_fx;
CharSequence tickerText = context.getString(R.string.fx_received);
long when = System.currentTimeMillis();
Notification newNotification = new Notification(icon, tickerText, when);
newNotification.flags |= Notification.FLAG_AUTO_CANCEL; //| Notification.FLAG_ONGOING_EVENT;
PendingIntent contentIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, Integer.parseInt(strFxPrimaryKey), newIntent, 0);
newNotification.setLatestEventInfo(context, contentTitle, contentText, contentIntent);
String newNotificationService = Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE;
NotificationManager newNotificationManager = (NotificationManager) context.getSystemService(newNotificationService);
newNotificationManager.notify(Integer.parseInt(strFxPrimaryKey), newNotification);
context.startActivity(newIntent);
context.removeStickyBroadcast(intent);
Based on the answers here in the stackoverflow, to create a unique intent, it should have unique action that's why I set the primary key as the action. I also set the request code to primary key to have a unique pending intent. Is there something missing out in my code? Thanks.
EDITED
By the way, whenever I remove the context.startActivity(newIntent);, it works right. Can anyone tell me why? Thanks.
I was trying to switch from tabview (those took about 1/3rd of a small screen) to fullscreens selectable via notification messages.
So far so good, everything done following the instructions on many howto's its all working like a charm. (that is on the sdk emulator)
now i've transfered the app to my actual android telephone and now it doesn't switch the screens anymore via the notifications. it ALWAYS opens the MainActivity.
private void DroiDCNotification(int NotificationID, CharSequence tickerText, CharSequence contentTitle, CharSequence contentText) {
//throw new UnsupportedOperationException("Not yet implemented");
String ns = Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE;
NotificationManager mNotificationManager = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(ns);
int icon = R.drawable.droidc_icon; // icon from resources
long when = System.currentTimeMillis(); // notification time
Context context = getApplicationContext(); // application Context
Intent notificationIntent = new Intent(this, MainActivity.class);
PendingIntent contentIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, notificationIntent, 0);
// the next two lines initialize the Notification, using the configurations above
Notification notification = new Notification(icon, tickerText, when);
notification.setLatestEventInfo(context, contentTitle, contentText, contentIntent);
mNotificationManager.notify(NotificationID, notification);
}
So how can i make the notification called by a specific Activity open that specified Activity?

I have no idea why you think that this is a good idea. Notifications are not designed for this role. Please use an options menu.

It is going to execute the PendingIntent. Your PendingIntent wraps an Intent identifying MainActivity.class. If you do want it to use MainActivity.class, change MyActivity.class to whatever class you wish.
Hi Just use this twolines in yr activity
Intent notificationIntent = new Intent(context, SamplePushActivity.class);
PendingIntent intent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0, notificationIntent, android.content.Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
