I am following this tutorial to show controls in the Notification bar, but still not getting How to use same functionality in my program, I have imported required classes like: NotificationService.java and Constants.java.
This is what I am getting in Notification Bar:

I am confused. Why I am not getting title of the song I am playing, why pause, prev and next buttons are not working etc ...
NotificationService.java:
public class NotificationService extends Service {
Notification status;
private final String LOG_TAG = "NotificationService";
@Override
public void onDestroy() {
super.onDestroy();
}
@Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
return null;
}
@Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
if (intent.getAction().equals(Constants.ACTION.STARTFOREGROUND_ACTION)) {
showNotification();
Toast.makeText(this, "Service Started", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
} else if (intent.getAction().equals(Constants.ACTION.PREV_ACTION)) {
Toast.makeText(this, "Clicked Previous", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
Log.i(LOG_TAG, "Clicked Previous");
} else if (intent.getAction().equals(Constants.ACTION.PLAY_ACTION)) {
Toast.makeText(this, "Clicked Play", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
Log.i(LOG_TAG, "Clicked Play");
} else if (intent.getAction().equals(Constants.ACTION.NEXT_ACTION)) {
Toast.makeText(this, "Clicked Next", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
Log.i(LOG_TAG, "Clicked Next");
} else if (intent.getAction().equals(Constants.ACTION.STOPFOREGROUND_ACTION)) {

stopForeground(true);
stopSelf();

Answer
try something like this (i used integers for actions):
intent.putExtra("action", ACTION_EXIT);
pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getService(this, intent.getIntExtra("action", 0), intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
in public static PendingIntent getService (Context context, int requestCode, Intent intent, int flags) the requestCode must be unique.
