Android Multiple Notifications and with multiple intents

Question

I have a fairly simple app that takes the input from a user and then sets it as a notification. The user can create as many notifications as he/she likes. I want the user to cli

I know this was a lot time ago but i feel that the answers have not said anything about the problem in your code. So the problem is pretty much here PendingIntent resultPendingIntent = stackBuilder.getPendingIntent(0,PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);

So you create a pendingIntent from the stackbuilder whith the flag of update_current. If you look at FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT it says

 /**
 * Flag indicating that if the described PendingIntent already exists,
 * then keep it but replace its extra data with what is in this new
 * Intent. For use with {@link #getActivity}, {@link #getBroadcast}, and
 * {@link #getService}. 
This can be used if you are creating intents where only the
 * extras change, and don't care that any entities that received your
 * previous PendingIntent will be able to launch it with your new
 * extras even if they are not explicitly given to it.
 */
public static final int FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT = 1<<27;

So what happens in your use case is that you create two identical pendingintents from the stackbuilder and the second intent overrides the first one . Actually you never create a second you just update the extras of the first one.

So unfortunately there is no available flag for your use case , but there is a good hack around it. What you can do is use the setAction of your resultIntent and place a random string or a string that makes sense to your app.

eg. resultIntent.setAction("dummy_action_" + notification.id);

This will make your resultIntent unique enough , so that the pendingIntent will create it rather than updating a previous one.
