How to perform a custom task from a action button click in notification?

Question

I have a notification in my app and I want to perform a custom task on clicking of the action in the notification. I have done this to add a action:

timerNotificationBuilder.addAction(0, "STOP", null /*What to add here ?*/ );

But, I want to stop a handler from running on click of this action. I have only seen to open activities using this. But, how to stop a handler or any custom task?

Thanks 😀

@Sambhav.K , You need to pass Pending Intent in action button like below code

  notificationBuilder.addAction(mCallAction)

  val mCallAction = NotificationCompat.Action.Builder(
            R.drawable.ic_reject_call,
            "Stop",
            mPendingIntent
        )


     val mCallIntent = Intent(context,   CustomActionReceiver::class.java)
   
    val mPendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(
        context, 999,
        mCallIntent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT
    )

and create new CustomActionReceiver class and do your stuff what you want like below

class CustomActionReceiver : BroadcastReceiver() {

override fun onReceive(context: Context, intent: Intent) {
   // Do your Stuff
}}
