If you use   android taskAffinity  myApp widget notify activity  android excludeFromRecents  true    in your AndroidManifest xml file for the Activity to launch  you have to use the following in your intent   Intent notificationClick   new Intent context  NotifyActivity class       Bundle bdl   new Bundle        bdl putSerializable NotifyActivity Bundle myItem  myItem       notificationClick putExtras bdl       notificationClick setData Uri parse notificationClick toUri Intent URI INTENT SCHEME    myItem getId          notificationClick setFlags Intent FLAG ACTIVITY CLEAR TASK   Intent FLAG ACTIVITY NEW TASK       schlie  t tasks der app und startet einen seperaten neuen      TaskStackBuilder stackBuilder   TaskStackBuilder create context       stackBuilder addParentStack NotifyActivity class       stackBuilder addNextIntent notificationClick        PendingIntent notificationPendingIntent   stackBuilder getPendingIntent 0  PendingIntent FLAG UPDATE CURRENT       mBuilder setContentIntent notificationPendingIntent     Important is to set unique data e g  using an unique id like   notificationClick setData Uri parse notificationClick toUri Intent URI INTENT SCHEME    myItem getId

G day  I too can say that I tried everything mentioned in these posts and a few more from elsewhere  The  1 problem for me was that the new Intent always had a null bundle  My issue was in focusing too much on the details of  have I included  this or  that   My solution was in taking a step back from the detail and looking at the overall structure of the notification  When I did that I managed to place the key parts of the code in the correct sequence  So  if you re having similar issues check for   1  Intent notificationIntent   new Intent MainActivity this  NotificationActivity class    2a  Bundle bundle   new Bundle        I like specifying the data type much better  eg bundle putInt  2b  notificationIntent putExtras bundle   3  PendingIntent contentIntent   PendingIntent getActivity MainActivity this  WIZARD NOTIFICATION ID  notificationIntent                      PendingIntent FLAG UPDATE CURRENT   notificationIntent addFlags Intent FLAG ACTIVITY CLEAR TOP   Intent FLAG ACTIVITY SINGLE TOP   4  NotificationManagerCompat notificationManager   NotificationManagerCompat from this   5           NotificationCompat Builder nBuilder                       new NotificationCompat Builder this                               setSmallIcon R drawable ic notify                               setContentTitle title                               setContentText content                               setContentIntent contentIntent                               setDefaults Notification DEFAULT SOUND   Notification DEFAULT VIBRATE                               setAutoCancel false   false is standard  true    automatically removes the notification when the user taps it                               setColor getResources   getColor R color colorPrimary                                setCategory Notification CATEGORY REMINDER                               setPriority Notification PRIORITY HIGH                               setVisibility NotificationCompat VISIBILITY PUBLIC               notificationManager notify WIZARD NOTIFICATION ID  nBuilder build       With this sequence I get a valid bundle

Please use as PendingIntent while showing notification than it will be resolved   PendingIntent intent   PendingIntent getActivity this  0                  notificationIntent  PendingIntent FLAG UPDATE CURRENT    Add PendingIntent FLAG UPDATE CURRENT as last field

Maybe a bit late  but  instead of this   public void onNewIntent Intent intent       Bundle extras   intent getExtras        Log i   dbg   onNewIntent         if extras    null           Log i   dbg    Extra6 bool     extras containsKey  net dbg android fjol             Log i   dbg    Extra6 val      extras getString  net dbg android fjol                mTabsController setActiveTab TabsController TAB DOWNLOADS       Use this   Bundle extras   getIntent   getExtras    if extras   null        String value   extras getString  keyName

Take a look at this guide  creating a notification  and to samples ApiDemos  StatusBarNotifications  and  NotificationDisplay    For managing if the activity is already running you have two ways    Add  FLAG ACTIVITY SINGLE TOP flag to the Intent when launching the activity  and then in the activity class implement  onNewIntent Intent intent  event handler  that way you can access the new intent that was called for the activity  which is not the same as just calling getIntent    this will always return the first Intent that launched your activity  Same as number one  but instead of adding a flag to the Intent you must add  singleTop  in your activity AndroidManifest xml    If you use intent extras  remeber to call PendingIntent getActivity   with the flag PendingIntent FLAG UPDATE CURRENT  otherwise the same extras will be reused for every notification

After reading some email-lists and other forums i found that the trick seems to add som unique data to the intent   like this       Intent notificationIntent   new Intent Main this  Main class      notificationIntent putExtra  sport id    sport  id      notificationIntent putExtra  game url    gameURL  id       notificationIntent setData  Uri parse  foobar     SystemClock elapsedRealtime          I dont understand why this needs to be done  It got something to do with the intent cant be identified only by its extras

I tried everything but nothing worked   eventually came up with following solution   1- in manifest add for the activity             android launchMode  singleTop   2- while making pending intent do the following  use bundle instead of directly using intent putString   or intent putInt                        Intent notificationIntent   new Intent getApplicationContext    CourseActivity class                        Bundle bundle   new Bundle                        bundle putString Constants EXAM ID String valueOf lectureDownloadStatus getExamId                          bundle putInt Constants COURSE ID  int lectureDownloadStatus getCourseId                         bundle putString Constants IMAGE URL lectureDownloadStatus getImageUrl                          notificationIntent putExtras bundle                        notificationIntent setFlags Intent FLAG ACTIVITY CLEAR TOP                               Intent FLAG ACTIVITY SINGLE TOP                       PendingIntent contentIntent   PendingIntent getActivity getApplicationContext                                new Random   nextInt    notificationIntent                              PendingIntent FLAG UPDATE CURRENT

In your notification implementation  use a code like this   NotificationCompat Builder nBuilder   new NotificationCompat Builder this  NOTIFICATION CHANNEL ID       Intent intent   new Intent this  ExampleActivity class   intent putExtra  EXTRA KEY    value     PendingIntent pendingIntent   PendingIntent getActivity this  0  intent  PendingIntent FLAG UPDATE CURRENT   nBuilder setContentIntent pendingIntent         To Get Intent extra values in the ExampleActivity  use the following code       Intent intent   getIntent    if intent  null        String extraKey   intent getStringExtra  EXTRA KEY            VERY IMPORTANT NOTE  the Intent  putExtra   method is an Overloaded one  To get the extra key  you need to use Intent  get Type Extra   method    Note  NOTIFICATION ID and NOTIFICATION CHANNEL ID are an constants declared in ExampleActivity
