Notifications



Status Notification•adds an icon with a message to the system's status bar and a notification message in thenotifications window.

•When the user selects the notification, Android fires an Intent that is defined by theNotification

•You can also configure the notification to alert the user with a sound, a vibration, and flashinglights on the device.



Hint : Service and Notification•A background service should never launch an activity on its own in order to receive uinteraction. The service should instead create a status notification that will launch the activitywhen selected by the user.



Code SampleNotificationManager mNotificationManager = (NotificationManager)getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);

Notification notification = new Notification(icon, tickerText, when);

Intent notificationIntent = new Intent(this, MyAlarmService.class);

PendingIntent contentIntent = PendingIntent.getService( this, 0, notificationIntent, 0);

notification.setLatestEventInfo( this, contentTitle, contentText, contentIntent);

mNotificationManager.notify(HELLO_ID, notification);



Setting Sound for the notificationnotification.sound =

Uri.parse (“file/// sdcard /myfile.mp3”);

or

notification.sound = Uri.parse("android.resource://" + getPackageName() +"/"+ R.raw.mafile)

builder.setPositiveButton("Yes", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener()

{

public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id)
