Android Remote View Notifications

I have an android notification bar which uses a remote view. I have 2 buttons on there to play and pause audio and also an icon to return to the application. I want to be able to click the icon (or anywhere but on the 2 buttons) and return to the application. Here is my code

Intent returnIntent = new Intent(_context, SplashScreenActivity.class);
returnIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_MAIN);
returnIntent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_LAUNCHER);

PendingIntent remoteViewPendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(_context,1, returnIntent,0);
remoteView.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.btnAppIcon, remoteViewPendingIntent);

This all works fine in the emulator on Android 4.1. When the icon in the notification is pressed it returns successfully to the app. However on Android 4.0.3 on a Samsung S3 the Activity launches in the background but the notification screen is not hidden. I want the notification screen to be cleared once the icon is selected. I have tried using the Notification.FLAG_AUTO_CANCEL in the notification but that did not fix the issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

.setOnClickPendingIntent behavior varies on different MFGs and versions as you've experienced.

To accomplish what you want and auto collapse the notification window automatically (without using reflection), you have to set a "global" pending intent for the notification view. You will need to include your R.id.btnAppIcon in that "catch all" intent view as well.

Example of the "global/default" notification pending intent:

contentIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(YourClass.this, 0, notificationIntent, 0);
notification.contentIntent = contentIntent;

The "general" notification intent when used with PendingIntent.getActivity will close the notification window on any device (as I've observed).
