Answer 1

I don’t really understand what you’re asking, but I think one of these should solve it:

1) When the button is clicked use intents to open the activity:
in onClick():

Intent intent = new Intent(this, SecondActivity.class);
startActivity(intent);

this requires you’ve added the second activity as an activity to the app manifest file.

2) if you want the second activity to open only when it receives the notification, use a service, then when you get the notification, bring the service to the foreground, but this will happen (unless you stop it) in an app, not just your own.

Intents
Services
Opening other activities
