Possible to make an Android Notification that does not call an Intent? [closed]

Answer 1

I have the same desired behavior. My solution was:

Intent intent = new Intent(this, YourActivity.class);
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP);
mPendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(getApplicationContext(), 0, intent, 0);

Also, to make the notification automatically disappear when selected by the user

notification.flags |= Notification.FLAG_AUTO_CANCEL;

Answer 2

Intent intent = new Intent(this, YourActivity.class);

or just

Intent intent = new Intent();

Answer 3

I ended up coming up with a solution to this issue although its basically a hack. instead of setting the intent to point to an Activity class I'm using a Dialog class.

this.notificationIntent = new Intent(this, SomeDialog.class);

Now if the user selects the notification, via the logcat, I can see the Starting Activity logged, but it appears nothing happens.

This allows me to post a notification that stays while my app is running and then I just dismiss it when the user exits.
