I'm developing an app which shows a notification to the user. The notification's objective is to make it easy to the user to return to the activity when the user is in another activity. I am using this code in my app to create and show the notification.
notification = new Notification(R.drawable.icon,
"Notify",
System.currentTimeMillis());
notification.setLatestEventInfo(this, "App name",
"App message",
PendingIntent.getActivity(
this, 0,
new Intent(this, Main.class),
PendingIntent.FLAG_CANCEL_CURRENT));
notification.flags |= Notification.FLAG_ONGOING_EVENT;
nManager.notify(0, notification);
But when the user taps the notification starts a new instance of the same activity, instead of the one that the user was using before.
I think this has something to do with PendingIntent but I can't find how to make that Intent to resume a previously paused instance of the activity instead of creating a new instance.
Thanks.
I found out how to do it. I added the following code:
notifyIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP);
Now my code looks like this:
notification = new Notification(R.drawable.icon,
"Notify", System.currentTimeMillis());
notification.setLatestEventInfo(this, "App name",
"App message", PendingIntent.getActivity(this,
0, new Intent(this, Main.class)
.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP
| Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP),
PendingIntent.FLAG_CANCEL_CURRENT));
notification.flags |= Notification.FLAG_ONGOING_EVENT;
