Show notification only if previous one has been canceled

I'm creating a very simple application for myself. Basically, it gives me a certain notification exactly every 2 hours.

The problem is when I don't "check" the notification for 2 hours and the next notification is supposed to come around. It sends a notification even though another notification already exists.

I'm simply sending notifications with NotificationManager.

Is there a way to check if previous notification already exists and only send another one if it doesn't?

Assuming you are using the same notification id (so that only one notification appears in the notification tray), you can use setOnlyAlertOnce(true) to ensure that sound/vibrate only plays the very first time a notification is posted and not when an existing notification is updated.
