Question

I read about documentation of android and used following code to send a notification

protected void sendnotification(String result2) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        nm = (NotificationManager)getSystemService(NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
        Intent intent = new Intent(this,test.class);
        PendingIntent pi = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, intent, 0);
        String body = "Hi this is test";
        String title = "Ritu";
        Notification n = new                   Notification(R.drawable.icon,result2,System.currentTimeMillis());
        n.setLatestEventInfo(this, title, result2, pi);
        n.defaults = Notification.DEFAULT_LIGHTS;
        nm.notify(uniqueid, n);
    }

What I got from documentation is that test activity will be launched when I click on the notification, but instead it is opening the application’s activity from where it was called. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Thanks

What you have done USED to be the code for this mission, but its deprecated now – both the constructor you used to create the Notification object, and the setLatestEventInfo method.

You should add the flag ‘FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK’ when creating your intent, and use the Notification.Builder class to create your notification.
