Pending intent in notification not working

Question

Below is my block of code which should open NotificationActivity when the notification is tapped on. But its not working.

private void setNo         


        

Answer 1

If the app is already running then you need to handle it in onNewIntent

@Override
protected void onNewIntent(Intent intent) {
    super.onNewIntent(intent);

    //Handle intent here...
}

Answer 2

Try checking your AndroidManifest.xml, double check if you are navigating to an activity with an intent-filter main action, launcher category

For example,

I couldn't make my pending intent to navigate to HomeActivity but it works when navigating to SplashScreen

Hope this helps.

Answer 3

You might be using a notification id equal to 0. There is known issue with notification id being 0. If you will use any other id, it should work.

Answer 4

I added task builder and the below block code worked for me

Intent intent = new Intent(context, HomeActivity.class);
TaskStackBuilder stackBuilder = TaskStackBuilder.create(context);
stackBuilder.addParentStack(SplashActivity.class);
stackBuilder.addNextIntent(intent);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = stackBuilder.getPendingIntent(0, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);

try this:

private void setNotification(String notificationMessage) {

//**add this line**
int requestID = (int) System.currentTimeMillis();

Uri alarmSound = getDefaultUri(RingtoneManager.TYPE_NOTIFICATION);
mNotificationManager  = getApplication().getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);

Intent notificationIntent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), NotificationActivity2.class);

//**add this line**
notificationIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP); 

//**edit this line to put requestID as requestCode**
PendingIntent contentIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, requestID,notificationIntent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);

NotificationCompat.Builder mBuilder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(getApplicationContext())
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.logo)
.setContentTitle("My Notification")
.setStyle(new NotificationCompat.BigTextStyle()
.bigText(notificationMessage))
.setContentText(notificationMessage).setAutoCancel(true);
mBuilder.setSound(alarmSound);
mBuilder.setContentIntent(contentIntent);
mNotificationManager.notify(NOTIFICATION_ID, mBuilder.build());

}

Added the requestid, but the intent was still not opening.

This is the solution that worked for me:

intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TASK);

Setting those flags to clear the activities below the intent activity.
