There's a bug in sample demoAPI - App/Notification/Notifying Service
Controller.
Once that service starts, if u stop the service before the 4 iterations are
completed:
for (int i = 0; i < 4; ++i) {
showNotification(R.drawable.stat_happy,
R.string.status_bar_notifications_happy_message);
Thread.sleep(5 * 1000);
showNotification(R.drawable.stat_neutral,
R.string.status_bar_notifications_ok_message);
Thread.sleep(5 * 1000);
showNotification(R.drawable.stat_sad,
R.string.status_bar_notifications_sad_message);
Thread.sleep(5 * 1000);
}
The NotificationManager clears the status icon briefly, but the thread keeps
running until it reaches the end of the 4 iterations.
So you still see the thread runs to complete (changing status bar icons
every 5 seconds), while the service is already stopped.
I think this behavior is not the intended/expected behavior. And thus, a
bug :)
To fix it, make a local boolean variable, and assign the service status, and
have the run() method check the variable.
boolean running = true;
in run():
while (running) {
// showNotification(...)
}
in onDestroy() {
running = false;
}
thanks
