Android notifications actions without opening the app

I want to implement a notification action in JB. But it shouldn't open the app. The behaviour is similar to the Gmail apps delete notification action. How can I do this?

Thanks in advance, Shashika

You can also add custom buttons or layouts with onClickEvents to your notification compat (e.g. events which do not open the app ;)):

  1. Create a custom RemoteViews Layout and add it to the builder builder.setContent(remoteView);

    In this layout you can define Buttons

  2. Set an onClickPendingIntent to your control remoteView.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.button, pendingIntent);
    The PendingIntent can hold a BroadcastReceiver to trigger an action without jumping INTO the app

Happy coding

After some research I managed to achieve this using a broadcast receiver. I posted the example code here. http://shashikawlp.wordpress.com/2013/05/08/android-jelly-bean-notifications-with-actions/

From what I understand of what your asking, you need to run a AlarmManager that launches background services at specified times to create notifications, and then you need to specify the intent for the notification to do what you want it to do.

If you are getting Push notifications, then forget the AlarmManager and just launch the action you want to do from the intent in the notification.

For more specific answer we need a more specific question.
