    tvDeveloper = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.tvDeveloper);

    rbRating = (RatingBar)findViewById(R.id.rbRating);

    ivLogo = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.ivLogo);
    ivPhoto1 = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.ivPhoto1);
    ivPhoto2 = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.ivPhoto2);
    ivPhoto3 = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.ivPhoto3);

    new loadPage().execute(null, null, null);               
}

        ivPhoto3.setImageBitmap(bmPhoto3);

        pdia.dismiss();
    }
}

this is the code i wanted to use, the code will open the downloaded files, before this, it’s functioning before everything moved to asynctask.

    MyI = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
MyI.setAction(android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
MyI.setDataAndType(Uri.parse("file:///sdcard/MaxApps/" + apkURL.toString()), "application/vnd.android.package-archive");

MyPI = PendingIntent.getActivity(getApplicationContext(), 0, MyI, 0);
MyNM = (NotificationManager)getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);

Intent intent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), AppDetails.class);
intent.putExtra("xdaTitle", title);
final PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(getApplicationContext(), 0, intent, 0);

notification = new Notification(R.drawable.logo, "Downloading...", System.currentTimeMillis());
notification.flags = notification.flags | Notification.FLAG_ONGOING_EVENT;
notification.contentView = new RemoteViews(getApplicationContext().getPackageName(), R.layout.downloadapk);
notification.contentIntent = pendingIntent;
notification.contentView.setImageViewResource(R.id.imgIcon, R.drawable.save);
notification.contentView.setTextViewText(R.id.tvText, "Downloading " + apkURL);
notification.contentView.setViewVisibility(R.id.pbStatus, View.VISIBLE);
notification.contentView.setProgressBar(R.id.pbStatus, 100, progress, false);        
notificationManager = (NotificationManager) getApplicationContext().getSystemService(getApplicationContext().NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);

ERROR:

Answer 1

i found out the solution, this is because i forgot to get the value of the ID. so when the apps wanted to create the notification, they cant create it because there is no ID.
just add this line under doInBackground

 title = array.getProperty(1).toString();
