I think you can make a service which will be running in background all the time and it can force your activity to come in background whenevr required without using notification. UNTOUCHABILITY IS SIN SO KEEP IN TOUCH On Wed, Oct 21, 2009 at 12:46 AM, pink 444 pnk...@gmail.com wrote:

After studying some articles regarding notifications .I have understood something that after clicking on the notification only specified activities are activated or brought into foreground. But in my application i have to bring an activity as soon as a background event occurred.

I have had a quick look and can't see anyway to do what you want (there might be a way I just can't find it). One of the reasons if I read about (on other platforms) for NOT implementing bring my app to the front and make it active right now is that it soon degenerates into application wars,

Hi Shiva, try this, may help... whichever activity, that you want to put in the foreground, use an Intent, by setting this flag... intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_BROUGHT_TO_FRONT); Thanks Nithin On Oct 20, 3:20 pm, pink 444 pnk...@gmail.com wrote:    What i want to implement is i

Reread RichardC's reply. There's good reason to believe that the platform doesn't allow - indeed shouldn't allow - arbitrary apps to bring their activities to the foreground without user action. Even if the platform does allow it, I have to agree with RichardC that it's not a good idea. If the

Even if the platform does allow it, I have to agree with RichardC that it's not a good idea. If the user has moved on from your activity to another, why do you know better than they that yours is more important? As soon as i receive network event can i create a new activity and destroy

RichardC and String are correct. You can't and shouldn't do this. Re-design your app so that the user does not need to push a GUI to the front at any possible given time. Also, your background service that waits in the background may have been killed by the Android OS due to low memory or low

I don't understand why do you want to force to display your activity. Is this a must for your requirement? It would be better to display notification from a background service, clicking the notification will forward to your activity screen. On Tue, Oct 20, 2009 at 6:42 AM, pink 444

You cannot just bring your app into foreground. Its against android rules. You have to use notification mechanism to inform user about an event. Regards, Batosz On Tue, Oct 20, 2009 at 10:24 AM, pink 444 pnk...@gmail.com wrote:         Thanks for your replay.         Can u give me a
