I have a service running, and would like to send a notification. Too bad, the notification object requires a context, like an Activity, and not a service.
Do you know any way to by pass that ? I tried to create an Activity for each notification bu it seems ugly, and I can't find a way to launch an Activity without any view.
i also want to sent my application icon to notification to show icon top of screen
Here is a working code , which creates a notification from a service itself. hope it will help you,
import android.app.Notification;
import android.app.NotificationManager;
import android.app.PendingIntent;
import android.app.Service;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.IBinder;
import android.widget.Toast;
public class MyService extends Service {
@Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent arg0) {
return null;
}
@Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
//We get a reference to the NotificationManager
NotificationManager notificationManager = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
String MyText = "Reminder";
Notification mNotification = new Notification(R.drawable.ic_launcher, MyText, System.currentTimeMillis() );
//The three parameters are: 1. an icon, 2. a title, 3. time when the notification appears
String MyNotificationTitle = "Medicine!";
String MyNotificationText = "Don't forget to take your medicine!";
Intent MyIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
PendingIntent StartIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(getApplicationContext(),0,MyIntent, PendingIntent.FLAG_CANCEL_CURRENT);
//A PendingIntent will be fired when the notification is clicked. The FLAG_CANCEL_CURRENT flag cancels the pendingintent
mNotification.setLatestEventInfo(getApplicationContext(), MyNotificationTitle, MyNotificationText, StartIntent);
int NOTIFICATION_ID = 1;
notificationManager.notify(NOTIFICATION_ID , mNotification);
//We are passing the notification to the NotificationManager with a unique id.
Toast.makeText(this, "Service Started", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
return START_STICKY;
}
@Override
public void onDestroy() {
super.onDestroy();
Toast.makeText(this, "Service Destroyed", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
