android notification action button listener

Hi In this post I will add example code for how to add actions in your local notification and than add their click listener.

e.g in image below where notification has two options confirm or cancel and you want to check if user has canceled or confirmed without launching application. Than follow this tutorial. 





I will add separate listener for Notification click and separate for notification action button click.

Step 1: Add method for creating push notification.
private void sendNotification(String messageBody) {
Intent intent = new Intent(this, SplashActivity.class);
intent.putExtra("fromNotification", "book_ride");
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);

Intent intentConfirm = new Intent(this, NotificationActionReceiver.class);
intentConfirm.setAction("CONFIRM");
intentConfirm.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);


Intent intentCancel = new Intent(this, NotificationActionReceiver.class);
intentCancel.setAction("CANCEL");
intentCancel.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);

//This Intent will be called when Notification will be clicked by user.
  PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0 /* Request    
  code */, intent,
        PendingIntent.FLAG_ONE_SHOT);

//This Intent will be called when Confirm button from notification will be    
//clicked by user.
  PendingIntent pendingIntentConfirm = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, 0, intentConfirm, PendingIntent.FLAG_CANCEL_CURRENT);

//This Intent will be called when Cancel button from notification will be    
//clicked by user.
PendingIntent pendingIntentCancel = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, 1, intentCancel, PendingIntent.FLAG_CANCEL_CURRENT);

Uri defaultSoundUri = RingtoneManager.getDefaultUri(RingtoneManager.TYPE_NOTIFICATION);
NotificationCompat.Builder notificationBuilder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this)
        .setSmallIcon(R.drawable.logo_steer)
        .setContentTitle("Madaar Ride")
        .setContentText("" + messageBody)
        .setAutoCancel(true)
        .setSound(defaultSoundUri)
        .setContentIntent(pendingIntent);

notificationBuilder.addAction(R.drawable.ic_check_black, "Confirm", pendingIntentConfirm);
notificationBuilder.addAction(R.drawable.ic_clear_black, "Cancel", pendingIntentCancel);


NotificationManager notificationManager =
        (NotificationManager) getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);


notificationManager.notify(11111 /* ID of notification */, notificationBuilder.build());
  }

Step 2: Now Declare BroadcastReceiver for handling action events in manifest file.
    <receiver android:name="NotificationActionReceiver">
    <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="CONFIRM" />
        <action android:name="CANCEL" />
    </intent-filter>
    </receiver>

Step 3: Add code for BroadcastReceiver Class
 /**
 * Created by hammadtariq on 8/9/2016.
 */

  public class NotificationActionReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
  @Override
  public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {

if (intent.getAction().equalsIgnoreCase("CONFIRM")) {

    Toast.makeText(context, "Booking your ride", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();


} else if (intent.getAction().equalsIgnoreCase("CANCEL")) {

    NotificationManager notificationManager =
            (NotificationManager) context.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
    notificationManager.cancel(11111);

}
} 
}
