Android - java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: contentIntent required error caused by notification?

Question

I have a service running that updates a notification in the notification bar when it recieves a message saying it has to be changed.

However I get the following error so

Answer 1

In your case

contentIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, notificationIntent,0);

if you want to use Intents with the same action but different extras:

1. Change requestCode from default "0" in

   getActivity(Context context, int requestCode, Intent intent, int flags)
   

to something unique like

(int) System.currentTimeMillis();

notification.contentIntent = notificationIntent;

Both steps are mandatory because:

• Option 2 will not work without option 1.
• Option 1 will throw IllegalArgumentException without 2.
