Re: [android-developers] Notifications and killed app
Were you talking about the notification of the service? because that can obviously cannot be removed while the service is running.. it's whole point is to show you have a foreground service.

Re: [android-developers] Notifications and killed app
The swipe thing has a funny way of working when you have a foreground service... everything in the app gets closed (all activities are gone) except for that service... that means that if you re-launch the app you need to figure out the state the app was before. in you case, display which files are being played and go back to showing the ui in playing mode. regarding the notification, see my other response.

Re: [android-developers] Notifications and killed app
Change the notification intent to point to the first activity and add a flag to indicate you want to open the other activities (propagate through the activities).

Re: [android-developers] Notifications and killed app
Yes. It's actually weird to me that it wasn't already like that... If you wish the notification to bring the app forward, the intent should match the launcher intent. the additional bundle flag you add will also make sure to start activities if they weren't already there.

Re: [android-developers] Notifications and killed app
If you have the flow : main - title detail - player, you press Home, then the Launcher icon for you app, it will just go back to your app with player being the displayed activity. it basically just took you back to where you were. This is because the intent the Launcher used is the same intent used to start the app in the first place. If you add a notification and you want it to open the app like the launcher does, you'll use the same intent as well. That means that if player is shown, and you press the notification either the app will launch normally (if it was removed by swipe) or will just bring the app forward like any launcher intent does (if it was running previously and got backgrounded). If the intent directs to player directly and player isn't singleInstance, it will create a new player and add it to the stack (so the flow would be main - title detail - player - player) Now days it is actually much more complex because of the addition of TaskStackBuilder (which btw can be used instead of propagating the inten)... you can read more about it here: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/notifiers/notifications.html On Wed, Apr 24, 2013 at 3:11 PM, Larry Meadors larry.mead...@gmail.comwrote: On Wed, Apr 24, 2013 at 6:03 AM, Piren gpi...@gmail.com wrote: It's actually weird to me that it wasn't already like that...

Re: [android-developers] Notifications and killed app
Swiping it away doesn't really mean killing the app, iirc. The app lives on within Android, it's just not displayed within your task manager window. (Meaning, it's not a process kill, at least for the ones I've seen..)

Re: [android-developers] Notifications and killed app
actually it does kill the process... as long as there's no foreground service (and that's debatable on the newer versions of JB). If you enter the app after your swipe, you'll see it is starting clean. I had the same notification issue, but i can't remember how i resolved it.. heh On Tuesday, April 23, 2013 5:28:26 PM UTC+3, Kristopher Micinski wrote: Swiping it away doesn't really mean killing the app, iirc.

Re: [android-developers] Notifications and killed app
More interesting - if I touch the notification after killing(?) it's owner, it still works in the sense that the activity starts and binds back to the service that created the notification. The activity can still control the service (it's a media player service). However, when the activity stops the service that it binds to, the service calls notificationManager.cancelAll(); but the notification is still present. /me goes to google more...
