Thanks for the hints. I'm trying to use the FLAG_ACTIVITY_REORDER_TO_FRONT
flag but the behavior remains as earlier. After the activity starts, I
press "Menu" to go to home and then pull down the "Notification list" click
on the current one (for my demopendingintent activity) and it brings me a
new activity page. I've added exit buttons and logs through which I'm able
to conclude that it starts a new activity rather than bringing the one
running in the background. May be I'm doing something wrong in my code.
Please find below the code snippet I'm using for showing notifications etc.
---code snippet----
private void showNotification() {
mNotificationManager = (NotificationManager)
getSystemService(NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
// //Add current song to notification bar
CharSequence tickerText = "Demo Alert";
long when = System.currentTimeMillis();
CharSequence contentTitle = "Now playing";
CharSequence contentText = "Demo song";
Intent notificationIntent = new Intent(this,
DemoPendingIntentActivity.class);
notificationIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_BROUGHT_TO_FRONT);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(
getApplicationContext(), 0, notificationIntent, 0);
Notification notification = new Notification(
R.drawable.ic_stat_playing, tickerText, when);
notification.setLatestEventInfo(getApplicationContext(), contentTitle,
contentText, pendingIntent);
notification.contentIntent = pendingIntent;
// Make the notification non-clearable
notification.flags = Notification.FLAG_ONGOING_EVENT;
mNotificationManager.notify(notificationId, notification);
}
*and the onCreate() is given below:*
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
mButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
mButton.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View arg0) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Log.d(TAG, "Shutting down app");
finish();
}
});
showNotification();
}
--- code snippet----
Would appreciate if someone can point me whats going wrong here. Many
thanks.
Regards,
KK
