Answer 1

You should use the Intent in the Notification to communicate back to the Activity that the user has clicked it.

When the user selects the notification, Android fires an Intent that is defined by the Notification (usually to launch an Activity, but in your case it should be only to send a message). This should be processed in the Activity's onNewIntent().
