Increment push notification number

Question

I use Parse.com for my android app's backend. I also send some push notifications to users using Parse Cloud Code. When I send multiple pushes to a user, he gets multiple push notifications, how do I increment the number in the notification in the phone rather than making multiple notifications appear?

Answer 1

When you publish a Notification, you specify an ID, like so (the number 123 in this example):

Intent notificationIntent = new Intent(mActivity, NotificationPublisher.class);
        notificationIntent.putExtra(NotificationPublisher.NOTIFICATION_ID, 123);

If you want to send a new notification, and replace this one, make sure you set the same ID when you send a new notification (which will replace the existing notification with your new content)
