On Startup\'s Activity, How to de

Answer 1

The Start Activity code would be like this, otherwise after once it comes from GCM notification, from then every time the Activity comes from the Recent list, it will say it comes from GCM notification, which is wrong.

Intent intent = this.getIntent();
if (intent != null && intent.getExtras() != null && intent.getExtras().containsKey("JOBID") && (intent.getFlags() & Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_LAUNCHED_FROM_HISTORY) == 0) {
    int jobID = this.getIntent().getExtras().getInt("JOBID");

    if (jobID > 0) {

    }
}

I Had the same problem, and I don't understand why I have to use the putExtra method... So I solved like this: when you receive a notification and tap on it, the app will open (usually it opens the app main activity) and, in the extras, you can find some information about that notification. You can add key/value params to the notifications you're sending to registered devices. These params will be added to the intent extras.

So you can act like this: in your notification, add a parameter that represents your notification id.

For example "messageId" -> "abc", where abc is your notification identifier.

Then, in your main activity, you can do:

if (getIntent().getExtras().keySet().contains("messageId")) {
    // you opened the app from a notification
    String messageId = getIntent().getStringExtra("messageId");
    // do domething...
} else {
    // you opened the app normally
    // do domething...
}

And you will retrieve the id of the notification. So you can use this information to, for example, get the notification from your db or other operations.

You need to use putExtra(ID_KEY,id) when you create your Intent for starting your application, and in your onCreate() method you can use getIntent().getExtras().getInt(ID_KEY); to retrieve your passed id integer.
