The Spotify Android app has music controls put in the notification (play/pause, next song).
I would like to let the user control a Service
from a controls inside notification. How do I do that?

For this you need to make your own layout for Notification.
Can you try with below code.
First create an xml for your notification.
custom_notification.xml:
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/layout"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:padding="10dp" >
<ImageView android:id="@+id/image"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_marginRight="10dp" />
<TextView android:id="@+id/title"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_toRightOf="@id/image"
style="Custom Notification Title" />
<TextView android:id="@+id/text"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_toRightOf="@id/image"
android:layout_below="@id/title"
style="Custom Notification Text" />
</RelativeLayout>
Now the java code:
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
@SuppressWarnings("deprecation")
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
int icon = R.drawable.ic_launcher;
long when = System.currentTimeMillis();
Notification notification = new Notification(icon, "Custom Notification", when);
NotificationManager mNotificationManager = (NotificationManager)getSystemService(NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
RemoteViews contentView = new RemoteViews(getPackageName(), R.layout.custom_notification);
contentView.setImageViewResource(R.id.image, R.drawable.ic_launcher);
contentView.setTextViewText(R.id.title, "Custom notification");
contentView.setTextViewText(R.id.text, "This is a custom layout");
notification.contentView = contentView;
Intent notificationIntent = new Intent(this, MainActivity.class);
PendingIntent contentIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, notificationIntent, 0);
notification.contentIntent = contentIntent;
notification.flags |= Notification.FLAG_NO_CLEAR; //Do not clear the notification
notification.defaults |= Notification.DEFAULT_LIGHTS; // LED
notification.defaults |= Notification.DEFAULT_VIBRATE; //Vibration
notification.defaults |= Notification.DEFAULT_SOUND; // Sound
mNotificationManager.notify(1, notification);
}
@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.activity_main, menu);
return true;
}
}
NotificationCompat.Builder.addAction()
Add an action to this notification. Actions are typically displayed by the system as a button adjacent to the notification content. Action buttons won't appear on platforms prior to Android 4.1.
