I'm using the Phonegap plugin "PushPlugin" (https://github.com/phonegap-build/PushPlugin) together with Phonegap 2.9.0 for iOS and Android. For iOS everything works as expected: A notification arrives, I click on the notification and the app is started.
On Android, we distinguish between two cases: The app is in foreground (active) or in background (closed or just not actively used). When I receive a notification while in foreground, the plugin works. When I receive a notification while in background, the plugin creates a notification in the notification bar, but tapping on the notification does not open my app.
The relevant code that should open my app is:
// Gets called when the notification arrives
protected void onMessage(Context context, Intent intent) {
Log.d(TAG, "onMessage - context: " + context);
// Extract the payload from the message
final Bundle extras = intent.getExtras();
if (extras != null)
{
final boolean foreground = this.isInForeground();
extras.putBoolean("foreground", foreground);
if (foreground)
PushPlugin.sendExtras(extras);
else
createNotification(context, extras);
}
}
// This creates the notification in the notification bar, but a click on the notification does not open my app
public void createNotification(Context context, Bundle extras)
{
final NotificationManager mNotificationManager = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
final String appName = getAppName(this);
final Intent notificationIntent = new Intent(this, PushHandlerActivity.class);
notificationIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
notificationIntent.putExtra("pushBundle", extras);
final PendingIntent contentIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, notificationIntent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
final NotificationCompat.Builder mBuilder =
new NotificationCompat.Builder(context)
.setSmallIcon(context.getApplicationInfo().icon)
.setWhen(System.currentTimeMillis())
.setContentTitle(appName)
.setTicker(appName)
.setContentIntent(contentIntent);
final String message = extras.getString("message");
if (message != null) {
mBuilder.setContentText(message);
} else {
mBuilder.setContentText("<missing message content>");
}
final String msgcnt = extras.getString("msgcnt");
if (msgcnt != null) {
mBuilder.setNumber(Integer.parseInt(msgcnt));
}
mNotificationManager.notify(appName, NOTIFICATION_ID, mBuilder.build());
tryPlayRingtone();
}
