This question is based off of this previous question of mine: Android - Set notification to never go away
I now realize that I need something to be triggered at startup to trigger the notification.
From my previous question, it looks like I can take two routes. Either start a service, or use a BroadcastReceiver. I think that starting a service is a little overkill (but what do I know). I am stuck while going with the BroadcastReceiver route. It works in general, but when I take my code for a notification I get a bunch of errors.
This is my code:
NotificationCompat.Builder mBuilder =
new NotificationCompat.Builder(this)
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher)
.setContentTitle("My notification")
.setContentText("Hello World!");
// Creates an explicit intent for an Activity in your app
Intent resultIntent = new Intent(this, ResultActivity.class);
//Intent.putExtra("My Notification");
// The stack builder object will contain an artificial back stack for the
// started Activity.
// This ensures that navigating backward from the Activity leads out of
// your application to the Home screen.
TaskStackBuilder stackBuilder = TaskStackBuilder.create(this);
// Adds the back stack for the Intent (but not the Intent itself)
stackBuilder.addParentStack(ResultActivity.class);
// Adds the Intent that starts the Activity to the top of the stack
stackBuilder.addNextIntent(resultIntent);
PendingIntent resultPendingIntent =
stackBuilder.getPendingIntent(
0,
PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT
);
mBuilder.setContentIntent(resultPendingIntent);
NotificationManager mNotificationManager =
(NotificationManager) getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
// mId allows you to update the notification later on.
mNotificationManager.notify(i, mBuilder.build());
My errors:
Any ideas on this?
Summary: Is a service or broadcast receiver better (in this situation)? How do I solve these errors in my code (when you hover they say they are undefined)?
