I know this looks like a duplicate of Android NotificationListenerService onNotificationPosted fire twice and NotificationListenerService onNotificationPosted() called multiple times for single Notification when it is part of grouped notification, but I have tried their solutions and they don't seem to work.
All I want to do is to have a background service that is counting the number of notifications a person gets on the phone and then just write that into a text file.
It works fine for SMS and Hangout notifications (i.e. it is fired only once for each notification) but when I test it using WhatsApp and Gmail, it gets fired twice and so, for each Gmail notification, I have two rows in my text file.
Here is my code. Any help will be appreciated.
public class NotifCounterService extends NotificationListenerService {
public static String TAG = NotifCounterService.class.getSimpleName();
Date dateStart;
private Logger logger;
private Context mContext;
@Override
public void onCreate() {
Log.d(TAG, "Created");
logger = new Logger(TAG);
mContext = getApplicationContext();
}
@Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
return super.onBind(intent);
}
@Override
public void onNotificationPosted(StatusBarNotification sbn) {
Log.d(TAG, "Notification has arrived");
Log.d(TAG, "ID: " + sbn.getId() + " Posted by: " + sbn.getPackageName() + " at: " + sbn.getPostTime() + " ");
logger.i(sbn.getId() + "," + sbn.getPackageName() + "," + sbn.getPostTime(), mContext);
logger.close();
/*
* Log.i(TAG, "ID:" + sbn.getId()); Log.i(TAG, "Posted by:" +
* sbn.getPackageName()); Log.i(TAG, "tickerText:" +
* sbn.getNotification().tickerText);
*/
/*
* for (String key : sbn.getNotification().extras.keySet()) { Log.i(TAG, key +
* "=" + sbn.getNotification().extras.get(key).toString()); }
*/
}
}
