Answer 1

private void showNotification() {
    Intent toLaunch = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), MySingleTopActivity.class);

    //add these two lines will solve your issue
    toLaunch.setAction("android.intent.action.MAIN");
    toLaunch.addCategory("android.intent.category.LAUNCHER");

    PendingIntent intentBack = PendingIntent.getActivity(getApplicationContext(), 0, toLaunch, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);

    notification.setLatestEventInfo(getApplicationContext(), getText(R.string.GPS_service_name), text, intentBack);
    ...
}
