PendingIntent sent from a notication.
- by totem
Hi,
What im trying to accomplish is to send a notification through the notification manager
that once clicked will do something in the application only if its currently running.
i have tried to use:
notification.contentIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, nNotificationCounter, Someintent, PendingIntent.FLAG_NO_CREATE)
Which allways caused an exception once trying to use the notify.
I switched to:
Notification notification = new Notification(icon, tickerText, when);
RemoteViews contentView = new RemoteViews(getPackageName(), R.layout.some_notification);
contentView.setTextViewText(R.id.title, sTitle);
contentView.setTextViewText(R.id.text, sText);
notification.contentView = contentView;
notification.defaults |= Notification.DEFAULT_SOUND;
notification.number = nNotificationCounter;
Intent notificationIntent = new Intent(this, MainWindow.class).setAction(ACTION_RESET_MESSGE_COUNTER);
notification.contentIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, nNotificationCounter, notificationIntent, 0);
and although this code doesn't cause an exception. it doesnt call my BroadcastReceiver which is defined as follows:
public class IncomingReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
if (intent.getAction().equals(ACTION_RESET_MESSGE_COUNTER)) {
System.out.println("GOT THE INTENT");
return;
}
}
}
and set in the onCreate:
IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter(ACTION_RESET_MESSGE_COUNTER);
IncomingReceiver receiver = new IncomingReceiver();
context.registerReceiver(receiver, filter);
Does anyone see something wrong with the code?
Or how would i go about to get messages when the notification is clicked, but not create any activity if it isn't already created.
edit: added the intent creation and notification creation.
Thanks,
Tom
