Handling buttons inside android notifications

Question

I added a button inside a notification

but I don\'t know how to have it call a function when it\'

Answer 1

I found out that I had to register "switchButtonListener" in AndroidManifest.xml

<receiver android:name="SettingsActivity$switchButtonListener" />

Source: Android Activity with no GUI

Later I found out that I can also use code like this to achieve the same thing without modifying the manifest.

switchButtonListener = new SwitchButtonListener();
registerReceiver(switchButtonListener, new IntentFilter(SWITCH_EVENT));

.

public class switchButtonListener extends BroadcastReceiver {
@Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
        Log.d("TAG", "test");
    }

}

.

Intent switchIntent = new Intent(LangService.SWITCH_EVENT);
PendingIntent pendingSwitchIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, 0, switchIntent, 0);

notificationView.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.buttonswitch, pendingSwitchIntent);

Note that this way I can declare the switchButtonListener class without the static attribute (if not static, it would crash in the previous example) giving me much more flexibility.
Don't forget to call unregisterReceiver() later.
