Notification

How to use Notification in Android?


Android represent the Notifications by using Notification class.We have to create a notification by using NotificationManager class,it can be received from the Activity via getSystemService() method.

Eg: NotificationManager notificationManager = (NotificationManager)getSystemService (NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);


Here i use two edit text for giving the email and message  and one button for create a notification.
Main.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical" >
    <EditText
        android:id="@+id/username_et"
        android:layout_width="200dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
        android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
    android:inputType="text"/>
    <EditText
        android:id="@+id/mess_et"
        android:layout_width="200dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
        android:layout_marginTop="5dp"
        android:inputType="text" />
    <Button
        android:id="@+id/button1"
        android:layout_width="200dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:onClick="createNotification"
        android:text="Create Notification" android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"/>
   
</LinearLayout>

 
Another xml for receive the notification message UI, name as notification_receiver.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent" >
    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/textView1"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="This is the result activity opened from the notification" >
    </TextView>
</LinearLayout>


Java class name NotificationActivity.java

public class NotificationActivity extends Activity {
   EditText username_et,mess_et;
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);
       
    }
    public void createNotification(View view) {
     username_et=(EditText)findViewById(R.id.username_et);
        mess_et=(EditText)findViewById(R.id.mess_et);
       
  NotificationManager notificationManager = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
  Notification notification = new Notification(R.drawable.mss,"A new notification", System.currentTimeMillis());
  // Hide the notification after its selected
  notification.flags |= Notification.FLAG_AUTO_CANCEL;
  Intent intent = new Intent(this, NotificationReceiver.class);
  PendingIntent activity = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, intent, 0);
  notification.setLatestEventInfo(this, username_et.getText().toString(), mess_et.getText().toString(),activity);
 
  notification.number += 1;
  notificationManager.notify(0, notification);
 }
}


and finally NotificationReceiver.java class.
@Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.notification_receiver);
    }
