Can I run a class on Notification Click?

I have a activity named as MainActivity.java which contains the Custom Notification Builder. Here is the code :

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

@Override

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
Button bcustomnotify = (Button) findViewById(R.id.customnotification);
bcustomnotify.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

        public void onClick(View arg0) {
            CustomNotification();
        }
    });
}

public void CustomNotification() {
    // Using RemoteViews to bind custom layouts into Notification
    RemoteViews remoteViews = new RemoteViews(getPackageName(),
            R.layout.customnotification);

    // Set Notification Title
    String strtitle = getString(R.string.customnotificationtitle);
    // Set Notification Text
    String strtext = getString(R.string.customnotificationtext);

    // Open NotificationView Class on Notification Click
    Intent intent = new Intent(this, NotificationView.class);
    // Send data to NotificationView Class
    intent.putExtra("title", strtitle);
    intent.putExtra("text", strtext);
    // Open NotificationView.java Activity
    PendingIntent pIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, intent,
            PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);

    NotificationCompat.Builder builder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this)
            // Set Icon
            .setSmallIcon(R.mipmap.ic_launcher)
            // Set Ticker Message
            .setTicker(getString(R.string.customnotificationticker))
            // Dismiss Notification
            .setOngoing(true)
            // Set PendingIntent into Notification
            .setContentIntent(pIntent)
            // Set RemoteViews into Notification
            .setContent(remoteViews);

    // Locate and set the Image into customnotificationtext.xml ImageViews
    remoteViews.setImageViewResource(R.id.imagenotileft, R.mipmap.ic_launcher);
    remoteViews.setImageViewResource(R.id.imagenotiright, R.mipmap.ic_launcher);

    // Locate and set the Text into customnotificationtext.xml TextViews
    remoteViews.setTextViewText(R.id.title, getString(R.string.customnotificationtitle));
    remoteViews.setTextViewText(R.id.text, getString(R.string.customnotificationtext));

    // Create Notification Manager
    NotificationManager notificationmanager = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);

    // Build Notification with Notification Manager
    notificationmanager.notify(0, builder.build());

}
}

and I have a class in another activity named as anotherActivity.java which goes like this :

public class anotherActivity extends Activity {
// some code
}

Now the Question is

Is it possible to run the class of another activity after the notification of MainActivity is clicked without actually opening the another activity as pending intent?

No.

If you want tapping on a Notification to do something with no visible UI, do not use getActivity() on PendingIntent. Use getService() or getBroadcast() and route to an appropriate component.

If you are saying that you want a tap on the Notification to show one activity (apparently named NotificationView) and also do something from AnotherActivity, then AnotherActivity should be merged into NotificationView, or the common code refactored into another class, or something. Your PendingIntent can do one thing: start an activity, start a service, or send a broadcast.
