Android - where to add onClickListener on custom notification?

I have my custom notification:

Intent myIntent = new Intent(this, MainActivity.class);
PendingIntent myPendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, myIntent, 0);

// build notification
// the addAction re-use the same myIntent to keep the example short
Notification myNotification  = new Notification.Builder(this)
    .setContentTitle("My App")
    .setContentText("Service is not running")
    .setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher)
    .setContentIntent(myPendingIntent)
    .setAutoCancel(true)
    .addAction(R.drawable.ic_action_mic, "Start Service", myPendingIntent).build();

NotificationManager notificationManager = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);

notificationManager.notify(0, myNotification);

I'm simply asking where should I put onClickListener to my button generated by .addAction()?

While clicking on the notification, your MainActivity will get opened.

So in onCreate of your activity, you can put your onClick Code.

To be specific, add a line above your pending intent creation: 

myIntent.putExtra("FromNotification", true);

Then in the onCreate of your MainActivity check like : 

if (getIntent() != null && getIntent().getBooleanExtra("FromNotification", false)) {
    // Do your onclick code.
}

The third parameter to addAction is a PendingIntent that should correspond to what action you want to take when that action is clicked. This can either call a BroadcastReceiver or a Service that then handles the action and does whatever is required.
