How to dismiss notification after action has been clicked

Question

Since API level 16  Jelly Bean   there is the possibility to add actions to a notification with  builder addAction iconId  title  intent     But when I add an action to a notification and the action is pressed  the notification is not going to be dismissed  When the notification itself is being clicked  it can be dismissed with  notification flags   Notification FLAG AUTO CANCEL    or  builder setAutoCancel true     But obviously  this has nothing to with the actions associated to the notification   Any hints  Or is this not part of the API yet  I did not find anything

In my opinion using a BroadcastReceiver is a cleaner way to cancel a Notification   In AndroidManifest xml    lt receiver      android name  NotificationCancelReceiver   gt       lt intent-filter android priority  999   gt            lt action android name  com example cancel    gt       lt  intent-filter gt   lt  receiver gt    In java File   Intent cancel   new Intent  com example cancel    PendingIntent cancelP   PendingIntent getBroadcast context  0  cancel  PendingIntent FLAG CANCEL CURRENT    NotificationCompat Action actions     new NotificationCompat Action 1     NotificationCancelReceiver  public class NotificationCancelReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver        Override     public void onReceive Context context  Intent intent              Cancel your ongoing Notification

In new APIs don t forget about TAG   notify String tag  int id  Notification notification    and correspondingly   cancel String tag  int id     instead of   cancel int id    https   developer android com reference android app NotificationManager

When you called notify on the notification manager you gave it an id - that is the unique id you can use to access it later  this is from the notification manager   notify int id  Notification notification    To cancel  you would call   cancel int id    with the same id   So  basically  you need to keep track of the id or possibly put the id into a Bundle you add to the Intent inside the PendingIntent

You can always cancel   the Notification from whatever is being invoked by the action  e g   in onCreate   of the activity tied to the PendingIntent you supply to addAction

I found that when you use the action buttons in expanded notifications  you have to write extra code and you are more constrained   You have to manually cancel your notification when the user clicks an action button  The notification is only cancelled automatically for the default action    Also if you start a broadcast receiver from the button  the notification drawer doesn t close    I ended up creating a new NotificationActivity to address these issues  This intermediary activity without any UI cancels the notification and then starts the activity I really wanted to start from the notification    I ve posted sample code in a related post Clicking Android Notification Actions does not close Notification drawer

You will need to run the following code after your intent is fired to remove the notification   NotificationManagerCompat from this  cancel null  notificationId     NB  notificationId is the same id passed to run your notification
