Question

I’m trying to send 2 strings using Notification, but I don’t know how should I do it. I used putExtra for my strings, but on the other activity I get null. I don’t know what to do on the other activity. I read about this on net, but I didn’t undersand. Can anyone help me?

Here is my code :

private void setNotifiy(){
    notificationManager = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
    CharSequence NotificationTicket = "You have a notification";

    //CharSequence NotificationContent = ;
    CharSequence contentTitle =  "You are close to "+name_shop+"!!!";
    CharSequence contentText ="So,you can go for shopping:)";

    long when = System.currentTimeMillis();

    Notification notification = new Notification(R.drawable.icon,
            NotificationTicket, when);

    Context context = getApplicationContext();

    Intent notificationIntent = new Intent(this, ShopsOnMap.class);
    notificationIntent.putExtra("latshop",lat_choose);

    notificationIntent.putExtra("longshop", long_choose);

    PendingIntent contentIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0,
            notificationIntent, 0);


    notification.setLatestEventInfo(context, contentTitle, contentText, contentIntent);

    notificationManager.notify(NOTIFICATION_ID, notification);
    notificationIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP
            | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP);

}

In the class ShopsOnMap I wrote just this :

String q = getIntent().getStringExtra("latshop");
System.out.println("!!"+q+"$$");

and I obtain q=null.

I need a simple example, or any idea that could help me. Thanks.

Use FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT in your getActivity() call, instead of 0, for the fourth parameter, so your new Intent extras are applied to the PendingIntent.
