Start Service from Notification

Question

is it possible to start a service from a notification. The normal way of starting an activity is working perfectly, but I need some pre checks of data before actually start

Answer 1

private void createNotification(String message) 

{

   Intent intent = new Intent(this, Yourservice.class);
   intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);

   PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getService(this, 0 /* Request code */, intent,
         0);

   NotificationCompat.Builder notificationBuilder = (NotificationCompat.Builder) new NotificationCompat.Builder(this)
         .setSmallIcon(R.drawable.icond)
         .setContentTitle("Start Launcher")
         .setContentText(message)
         .setAutoCancel(true)
         .setOngoing(true)
         .setWhen(System.currentTimeMillis())
         .setContentIntent(pendingIntent);

   NotificationManager notificationManager = (NotificationManager) getApplicationContext().getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);

   notificationManager.notify(ID_NOTIFICATION , notificationBuilder.build());

}
