I saw several approaches and I tried everything but couldnt make it work.I dont know why it is so complicated, in the docs it looks so easy! I want to trigger the OnNewInten
Ok got it working soon after posting my question. I think the key difference in our code is that I pass the flag "PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT" to the creation/retrieval of the PendingIntent object. This post helped me figure that out.
Notification.Builder mBuilder =
new Notification.Builder(context)
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.notifyicon)
.setContentTitle(title)
.setContentText(extras.getString("message"))
.setAutoCancel(true)
.setOnlyAlertOnce(false)
.setSound(RingtoneManager.getDefaultUri(RingtoneManager.TYPE_NOTIFICATION))
.setVibrate(new long[] {0,500,250,500});
if(badgeCount > 1)
mBuilder.setNumber(badgeCount);
// Creates an explicit intent for an Activity in your app
Intent resultIntent = new Intent(context, SiteViewActivity.class);
resultIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP);
resultIntent.putExtra(NOTIFY_INTENT_TYPE_KEY, alertType);
PendingIntent resultPendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, alertType, resultIntent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
mBuilder.setContentIntent(resultPendingIntent);
NotificationManager notifyMgr = (NotificationManager) context.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
notifyMgr.notify(alertType, mBuilder.build());
