Intent from notification

My news application runs in the background and if there is any update in news a notification will show in the status bar.

How can I identify that my application is opened by tapping the notification or opened directly?

Solution

  • Try this out

    you can add some extra data to your starting intent when you start them using Boundle Object.So when you creat PendingIntent form your notification add following.

    Boundle b=new Bundle();
b.putString("from","fromNotification");
intent.putExtras(b);

    and after that in your starting activity check that.

    Bundle b=getIntent().getExtras();
String startedForm=b.getString("form");

    now you can decide where it came from.if startedFrom is null then it has started directly or else if it is "fromNotification" then it has started by notification
