I used the Builder patter so you can just set auto cancel from the setter setAutoCancel(true). That looks something like this:

    String title = "Requests"; 
    String msg = "New requests available.";
    NotificationCompat.Builder mBuilder =
            new NotificationCompat.Builder(this)
                    .setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_gcm_icon)
                    .setContentTitle(title)
                    .setAutoCancel(true)
                    .setStyle(new NotificationCompat.BigTextStyle()
                            .bigText(msg))
                    .setContentText(msg);

    mBuilder.setContentIntent(contentIntent);
    mNotificationManager.notify(NOTIFICATION_ID, mBuilder.build());
