Question

I am displaying a notification whenever a new message is received that contains particular keywords. I have used following code to show the notification in the notification area,

String contentTitle = "V-Card Received"; 
String contentText = "You have reeived a new V-Card"; 
 mNotificationManager = (NotificationManager)context.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
Intent notificationIntent = new Intent(context, receiveVCard.class);
 notificationIntent.putExtra("sender", sender);
notificationIntent.putExtra("vCardString", messages[i].getDisplayMessageBody());
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0, notificationIntent, Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
int icon = R.drawable.contactvcard;
CharSequence tickerText = "V-Card Received";
long when = System.currentTimeMillis();
notifyDetails = new Notification(icon, tickerText, when);
notifyDetails.setLatestEventInfo(context, contentTitle, contentText, pendingIntent); 
mNotificationManager.notify(SIMPLE_NOTFICATION_ID, notifyDetails); 
notifyDetails.flags =Notification.DEFAULT_LIGHTS | Notification.FLAG_AUTO_CANCEL;

Now I want to remove the notification once the user clicks on it. I Have used Notification.FLAG_AUTO_CANCEL to cancel the notification. But it is not removing the notification even if the user clicks on it. Is there any other way to remove the notification, when the user clicks on the notification.

You are basically setting flags after notification has been put.

You need to swap the last two lines of the code you have provided. Set flags before calling nm.notify();
