Adding Button Action in Custom Notification

Adding button action in custom notification

Start notification as:

private void startNotification(){
    String ns = Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE;
    NotificationManager notificationManager = 
            (NotificationManager) getSystemService(ns);

    Notification notification = new Notification(R.drawable.ic_launcher, null, 
            System.currentTimeMillis());

    RemoteViews notificationView = new RemoteViews(getPackageName(),
            R.layout.mynotification);

    //the intent that is started when the notification is clicked (works)
    Intent notificationIntent = new Intent(this, FlashLight.class);
    PendingIntent pendingNotificationIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, 
            notificationIntent, 0);

    notification.contentView = notificationView;
    notification.contentIntent = pendingNotificationIntent;
    notification.flags |= Notification.FLAG_NO_CLEAR;

    //this is the intent that is supposed to be called when the 
    //button is clicked
    Intent switchIntent = new Intent(this, switchButtonListener.class);
    PendingIntent pendingSwitchIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, 0, 
            switchIntent, 0);

    notificationView.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.closeOnFlash, 
            pendingSwitchIntent);

    notificationManager.notify(1, notification);
}


public static class switchButtonListener extends BroadcastReceiver {
    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
        Log.d("Here", "I am here");
        FlashOnOff flashLight;
        flashLight = new FlashOnOff();
        flashLight.flashLightOff();
        flashLight.releaseCamera();         
    }
}

How to add button to notifications in android?

Adding button action in custom notification

Handling buttons inside android notifications

Also take look at the Notification Actions developers guide.

Also it looks like after a notification is created you cannot add actions, so you should create new notification with specified actions, and then replace previous one (assign id to your notifications).

Custom notification with two action button

I had a similar error in my App. The problem was that RemoteViews does not support every kind of layout or view.

In your case, I think the problem is the <View/> part in your custom_notification.xml.
Try removing or replacing it with a supported layout element. You can find them here: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/appwidgets/index.html#CreatingLayout

Event OnClick for a button in a custom notification

I am writing code in my MyActivity.java class that extends android.app.Activity

It creates a custom notification, when user click on the button it sends a broadcast.
There is a broadcast receiver that receives the broadcast.

private void createDownloadNotification() {
        Intent closeButton = new Intent("Download_Cancelled");
        closeButton.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP);

        PendingIntent pendingSwitchIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, 0, closeButton, 0);

        RemoteViews notificationView = new RemoteViews(getPackageName(), R.layout.widget_update_notification);

        NotificationManager notificationManager = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);

        NotificationCompat.Builder builder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this).setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher).setTicker("Ticker Text").setContent(notificationView);
        notificationView.setProgressBar(R.id.pb_progress, 100, 12, false);
        notificationView.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.btn_close, pendingSwitchIntent);

        notificationManager.notify(1, builder.build());

    }


public static class DownloadCancelReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {

        @Override
        public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {

            System.out.println("Received Cancelled Event");
        }
    }

Register receiver in AndroidManifest.xml

<receiver android:name=".MainActivity$DownloadCancelReceiver" android:exported="false">
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="Download_Cancelled" />
            </intent-filter>
        </receiver>

Since it is inner class so have to use $ sign

Widget xml is here

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:gravity="center"
    android:orientation="horizontal" >

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/btn_close"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="Close Me" />

    <ProgressBar
        android:id="@+id/pb_progress"
        style="?android:attr/progressBarStyleHorizontal"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

</LinearLayout>
