Is there a way to open an activity on receiving a push notification without clicking on the notification ?
Example :- Say I want to open the MainActivity whenever I receive a push notification. I can do that by clicking on the notification in the notification panel. But I want to open the activity as soon as I receive the notification (without even clicking the notification). Is it possible ??
Yes (but that may be depend on what you use to receive the push).
In your code, when receiveing the push, instead of building and displaying a notification, create and broadcast an intent that will open your activity.
in your onMessageReceived method, create Broadcast using following code
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setAction("some string");
//intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_INCLUDE_STOPPED_PACKAGES);
sendBroadcast(intent);
Make a seperate class and extends it with BroadcastReceiver. Inside onReceive write following code
Log.d("BroadCastData","BroadCastData");
Intent newAct = new Intent(context,yourCallClassName.class);
newAct.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
context.startActivity(newAct);
Last step to add receiver into manifests file
<receiver android:name=".GetingBroadCastData" > //.GetingBroadCastData is classs name
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="some string" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
May this help you.
