Update notifications from broadcast Receiver in android

Question

I have a broadcast receiver, which starts an intent service.

Intent service triggers notification.

If there are multiple notifications fired, then since the NOTIFICATION_ID is same it doesn't update.

Is there any way to know how many notifications have been fired ? So that I can update my notification accordingly.

I don't want to fire separate notification. I want to update the existing notification. All I need here to figure out is the number of notifications already fired while firing a notification. And that number should reset when user click on it.

Answer 1

In your notify method make below changes.

notificationManager.notify(getID(), notification);

The getId() method will provide unique id so that multiple notification will come at same time.

private final static AtomicInteger c = new AtomicInteger(3);

public static int getID() {
    return c.incrementAndGet();
}
