Dialogs cannot be triggered without an activity..
So ,you can create an activity with dialog theme.
<activity android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Dialog" />
Now from your service ..just call this activity when your notification arrives... And it will pop up like a dialog...
Edit:
While calling your activity:
startActivity(intent);
overridePendingTransition(R.anim.enter_anim, R.anim.right_exit_anim);
Now create the two anim files in a seperate folder called anim in the resource dir.
enter_anim:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:interpolator="@android:anim/accelerate_decelerate_interpolator">
<translate
android:fromYDelta="20%p" //this takes val from 0(screenbottom) to 100(screentop).
android:toYDelta="0%p" //this takes val from 0(screenbottom) to 100(screentop).
android:duration="700" //transition timing
/>
</set>
exit_anim:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:interpolator="@android:anim/accelerate_decelerate_interpolator">
<translate
android:fromYDelta="0%p" //this takes val from 0(screenbottom) to 100(screentop).
android:toYDelta="20%p" //this takes val from 0(screenbottom) to 100(screentop).
android:duration="700" //transition timing
/>
</set>
EDIT 2:
Create an activity.. design it..then go to your manifest file.. And under your activity tag.. add:
<activity android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Dialog" />
Now your activity will look like a dialog...
EDIT 3:
Now add the following function in your activity(dialog) after onCreate():
@Override
public void onAttachedToWindow() {
super.onAttachedToWindow();
View view = getWindow().getDecorView();
WindowManager.LayoutParams lp = (WindowManager.LayoutParams) view.getLayoutParams();
lp.gravity = Gravity.RIGHT | Gravity.BOTTOM;//setting the gravity just like any view
lp.x = 10;
lp.y = 10;
lp.width = 200;
lp.height = 100;
getWindowManager().updateViewLayout(view, lp);
}
We are overriding the attach window to specify the activity location on the screen.
Now your activity will be placed in the right side bottom of the screen.
EDIT 4:
Now to give your specified co ordinate points for the dialog, use the lp.x and lp.y...
