Answer 1

if you want to open a website on notification click try this:

    public void createNotification(Context context, String payload) {
        NotificationManager notificationManager = (NotificationManager) context
                .getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
        Notification notification = new Notification(R.drawable.ic_launcher,
                "Message received", System.currentTimeMillis());
        // Hide the notification after its selected
        notification.flags |= Notification.FLAG_AUTO_CANCEL;

        //adding LED lights to notification
        notification.defaults |= Notification.DEFAULT_LIGHTS;

        Intent intent = new Intent("android.intent.action.VIEW", 
         Uri.parse("http://my.example.com/"));
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0,
                intent, 0);
        notification.setLatestEventInfo(context, "Message",
                "New message received", pendingIntent);
        notificationManager.notify(0, notification);

    }

In your base receiver for c2dm or the class the that extentd base reciever you have a handleMessage()::

Below is the sample code for handle message which launches the activity::

@Override
    protected void handleMessage(Context context, Intent intent) {
        String regId = C2DMessaging.getRegistrationId(context);
        String logKey = this.getClass().getSimpleName();
        String title="";
        String message="";
        if (regId!= null) {
            if (intent.hasExtra(Constants.TITLE)) {
                title = intent.getStringExtra(Constants.TITLE);
            }
            if(intent.hasExtra(Constants.MESSAGE)){
                message = intent.getStringExtra(Constants.MESSAGE);
            }
            // TODO Send this to my application server to get the real data
            // Lets make something visible to show that we received the message
            if(!title.equals("") && !message.equals(""))
                createNotificationForMsg(context,title,message);
        }
    }

    @Override
    public void createNotificationForMsg(Context context,String title,String message) {
        final String logKey = this.getClass().getSimpleName();

        try {
            NotificationManager notificationManager = (NotificationManager) context
                    .getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
            Notification notification = new Notification(R.drawable.icon,
                    "update(s) received", System.currentTimeMillis());
            // Hide the notification after its selected
            notification.flags |= Notification.FLAG_AUTO_CANCEL;
            //adding sound to notification
            notification.defaults |= Notification.DEFAULT_SOUND;            

                Intent intent = new Intent(context, YourAlertActivity.class);

                if(Constants.LOG)Log.d(logKey, Constants.TITLE +": "+ title +" , "+Constants.MESSAGE+": "+message);
                intent.putExtra(Constants.TITLE, title);
                intent.putExtra(Constants.MESSAGE, message);

                PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, Calendar.getInstance().get(Calendar.MILLISECOND),  intent, android.content.Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
                notification.setLatestEventInfo(context, "Castrol",
                        title+"update Received", pendingIntent);
                notificationManager.notify(Calendar.getInstance().get(Calendar.MILLISECOND), notification);



        } catch (Exception e) {
//          MessageReceivedActivity.view.setText("createNotificationFor Msg: "
//                  + e.toString());
        }
    }
