It is not possible to set an OnClickListener for a notification. Because of the way notifications are handled/displayed there is no way to guarantee that the process that created the notification will be running at the time the notification is clicked. This means that any code you wrote to provide click handling may not be running.

If you need click listener style behavior you will have to do it using the PendingIntent: set it to start a Service that runs the logic or to use an Intent that is received by a BroadcastReceiver. This will let you perform activity without requiring a UI.
