Question

I have a background service setting up a notification in Android’s status bar. The background service is doing some work, but needs to stop when the user clicks on or cancels the notification.

I am able to stop the service, if the user clicks on the notification by passing an intent to the notification when creating it.

Is it possible to react if the user cancels the notification? Or if all notifications are canceled? If so, how?

NB: I define cancel as removing the notification by swiping to the right on it, or clicking on the x at the top right to remove all the notifications.

Answer 1

Check out the deleteIntent of the Notification:

The intent to execute when the status entry is deleted by the user with the “Clear All Notifications” button.
