Question

I have a “main” activity. In the onCreate() method I’m calling setContentView(). Now while this main activity is on top I get a notification. In the notification I’m setting “main” as the intent to be invoked on click. Here I’m setting FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP flag.

On click event of notification I can see that onNewIntent() of main is getting called, from onNewIntent() I’m launching another activity showData. What I can see is that on click event of notification, the orientation of the screen changes but I’m still in the notification drop down menu. (Neither main or showData screen is visible). The orientation changes because the showData has orientation landscape as fixed. Now if I press back, I can see the showData screen.

This issue happens when main activity is on top while clicking the notification. If in any other activity, showData is getting displayed correctly.

Thanks a lot for your answer and time.

Answer 1

I was launching the showData using this: new Intent(main.this, showData.class).

I changed main.this to getApplicationContext() and now it is working fine.
