Parse notification displayed, open action doesn't start activity

I have some Parse code that receives push data and sets up a notification which works fine but the problem is the onPushOpen declaration. I want to open a specific activity in my app but onPushOpen seems to never get called or just not work?

This is my code:

public class NotificationReceiver extends ParsePushBroadcastReceiver {
    private static final String TAG = "MYTAG";


   @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
       Parse.setLogLevel(Parse.LOG_LEVEL_VERBOSE);
        Log.i(TAG, "Notification received");
        Bundle extras = intent.getExtras();
        String message = extras != null ? extras.getString("com.parse.Data") : "";
        JSONObject jObject;
        String alert = null;
        String title = null;
        try {
            jObject = new JSONObject(message);
            alert = (jObject.getString("alert"));
            title = (jObject.getString("title"));
        }
        catch (JSONException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

        Log.i(TAG,"alert is " + alert);
        Log.i(TAG,"title is " + title);
        NotificationCompat.Builder notification =
                new NotificationCompat.Builder(context)
                        .setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher)
                        .setContentTitle(alert)
                        .setContentText(title);


        NotificationManager mNotificationManager = (NotificationManager) context.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
        mNotificationManager.notify(1, notification.build());
        Log.i(TAG, "Notification created");

   }


    @Override
    protected void onPushOpen(Context context, Intent intent) {
        Log.i(TAG, "Notification clicked");
        Intent i = new Intent(context, MainActivity.class);
        i.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
        context.startActivity(i);
    }
}

I can't seem to figure out why onPushOpen doesn't start my requested activity (MainActivity). Any help would be greatly appreciated.

i'm facing the same problem with the onPushOpen() method, but if you just want to open your activity, there is a little work around. you can solve the problem by using a Pending Intent like this:

NotificationCompat.Builder notification =
            new NotificationCompat.Builder(context)
                    .setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher)
                    .setContentTitle(alert)
                    .setContentText(title);

// create intent to start your activity
Intent activityIntent = new Intent(context, MainActivity.class);

// create pending intent and add activity intent
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0, activityIntent,
    PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
notification.setContentIntent(pendingIntent);

// Add as notification
NotificationManager mNotificationManager = (NotificationManager) context.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
    mNotificationManager.notify(1, notification.build());

so it is not necessary to call the onPushOpen() method, because as soon as the notification gets clicked the pending intent starts your activity.
