Intent from notification does not have extras

Question

This seem to be a common problem and I went through all the related questions I could find already: Activity isn't picking up new intent, Why extra data (integer) is not

Answer 1

Simpler approach: the real problem is that the Intent, being to the same target, gets replaced. I've solved this by just created a new service, a "NotificationDismissalService". The only intent going to that service is the setDeleteIntent item. Because it's a unique service, the parameters do not get replaced. The body of NotificationDismissalService (and it would really be one such dismissal service per unique intent type) is a simple implementation of "onStartCommand" that sends an intent to the preferred service (reading/writing the correct parameters). Because that's an actual send of a service, without a pendingintent in between, it works just fine.
