How to bring Android existing activity to front via notification

Question

I have one Android application, when it runs a service, I want to show the notification on the status bar. Then the user could navigate to other application by pressing HO

Answer 1

I'd recommend you do this,

private void showNotification () 
{

Intent toLaunch = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), DummyActivity.class);

// You'd need this line only if you had shown the notification from a Service
toLaunch.setAction("android.intent.action.MAIN");

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

.... 
}

The DummyActivity should simply be an activity that always finishes itself in the oncreate event.

In the manifest file, add these lines

I hope this helps ...
