Can someone help me get this kind of problem when I send a push notification when the application is down. please help ... code is requested for this problem. also want to understand the detailed view of distance views. I tried to learn it from the developer's site. but perhaps better explain there. also please insert some useful links for this.

as follows:

long when = System.currentTimeMillis();
        NotificationManager notificationManager = (NotificationManager) context
                .getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
        Notification notification = new Notification(res_icon, message, when);

        Intent notificationIntent = new Intent(context, FisrtActivityClass);
        notificationIntent.putExtra("message", message);

        notificationIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP
                | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP);
        PendingIntent contentIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context,
                notificationid, notificationIntent, 0);
        MyLog.d(TAG, custom_layout_id + "; text");
        try {
            // create custom notification view
            MyLog.d(TAG, "layout = " + custom_layout_id + "; image = "
                    + custom_image_id + "; text = " + custom_text_id);
             RemoteViews contentView = new
             RemoteViews(context.getApplicationContext().getPackageName(),
             custom_layout_id);
             contentView.setImageViewResource(custom_image_id, res_icon);
             contentView.setTextViewText(custom_text_id, message);
             notification.contentView = contentView;
             notification.contentIntent = contentIntent;

             notification.setLatestEventInfo(context, title, message,
             contentIntent);
        } catch (Exception e) {
            // TODO: handle exception
            e.printStackTrace();
             notification.setLatestEventInfo(context, title, message,
             contentIntent);
        }

        notification.flags |= Notification.FLAG_AUTO_CANCEL;
        notification.defaults |= Notification.DEFAULT_LIGHTS;
        notificationManager.notify(notificationid, notification);

Answer 1

Try with Notification.Builder instead of Notification. For instance:

Notification.Builder builder = new Notification.Builder(context)
    .setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher)
    .setContent(remoteViews);

And for the pending intent, try the following:

Notification notification = builder.build();
notification.contentView.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.button, pendinglIntent);
