Question

I am making an app that allows the user to set an alarm based on GPS locations. I am having problems deleting the notifications I create and the alarms I set.

I have found that all the notifications and alarms are deleted permanently when I use the “Advanced Task Killer App”. I want to implement whatever it does into my app. Does anyone know what this app does and/or where I can find the source code?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Did you try to post your notification with an integer ID?
Like so,

notify(MY_NOTE_ID, notification);

If that’s the case, you can simply get the notification manager to cancel them by calling

cancel(MY_NOTE_ID);

Also, make sure to use flags such as Notification.FLAG_ONGOING_EVENT and Notification.FLAG_AUTO_CANCEL appropriately. The ongoing flag makes the notification show up in on-going section, and auto cancel flag ensures the notification disappears when you click on it.
