Android notification doesn't disappear after clicking the notifcation

Question

If got some issues with a notification I want to show in the notification bar. Although I set the notification flag to Notification.DEFAULT_LIGHTS & Notification.F

Answer 1

notification.flags = Notification.DEFAULT_LIGHTS | Notification.FLAG_AUTO_CANCEL

From the documentation:

Bit to be bitwise-ored into the flags field that should be set if the notification should be canceled when it is clicked by the user

Answer 2

// Uses the default lighting scheme
notification.defaults |= Notification.DEFAULT_LIGHTS;

// Will show lights and make the notification disappear when the presses it
notification.flags |= Notification.FLAG_AUTO_CANCEL | Notification.FLAG_SHOW_LIGHTS;

Answer 3

Use the flag Notification.FLAG_AUTO_CANCEL

Notification notification = new Notification(icon, tickerText, when);
notification.setLatestEventInfo(context, contentTitle, contentText, pendingIntent);

// Cancel the notification after its selected
notification.flags |= Notification.FLAG_AUTO_CANCEL;

and to launch the app:

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

Intent intent = new Intent(context, App.class);

PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, intent_id, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);

Answer 4

While building Notification by NotificationBuilder you can use notificationBuilder.setAutoCancel(true);.

Answer 5

2016 state: you can use mBuilder.setAutoCancel(true).

Answer 6

The answer for me was to use mBuilder.setOngoing(false)
