How can I retrieve the title of the action button that has been clicked?

I am currently building an android app which needs to work through notification bar's action buttons.

I have added the notification bar and the action buttons. I have also added a BroadcastReceiver to perform some action on button click. My problem is that the actions are performed based on the title of the action button clicked. Please guide me in how to get the title of the clicked button.

This is my notification creation code:

 Intent intent = new Intent();
    intent.setAction(AppConstants.YES_ACTION);

    // Open receiver
    PendingIntent pIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, 0, intent,
            PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);

    //Create Notification using NotificationCompat.Builder
    NotificationCompat.Builder builder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this)
            // Set Icon
            .setSmallIcon(R.mipmap.ic_launcher)
            // Set Ticker Message
            // .setTicker(getString(R.string.notificationticker))
            // Set Title
            .setContentTitle(getString(R.string.app_name))
            // Set Text
            .setContentText(getString(R.string.notificationtext))
            // Add an Action Button below Notification
            .addAction(R.mipmap.ic_launcher, "Action Button", pIntent)
            // Set PendingIntent into Notification
            .setContentIntent(pIntent)
            // Dismiss Notification
            .setAutoCancel(true);

    for(int l = 0; l<btnNames.length; l++){
        if(!btnNames[l].isEmpty()){
            builder.addAction(R.mipmap.ic_launcher, btnNames[l],pIntent);
       //     intent.putExtra("Btn"+(l+1), btnNames[1]);
        }
    }

    // Create Notification Manager
    NotificationManager notificationmanager = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
    // Build Notification with Notification Manager
    notificationmanager.notify(0, builder.build());

Below is the broadcast receiver code:

public class notificationReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver{

    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
        String notificationAction = intent.getAction();

        //the title retrieval code goes here

        if(notificationAction.equals(AppConstants.YES_ACTION)){
            //some work is done here
        }

    }
}

Step #1: Move all of your Intent/PendingIntent/Notification creation logic inside of the loop

Step #2: Put an identifier of the action button in as an extra to the Intent that you use for the PendingIntent

Step #3: Use a distinct number for each PendingIntent for the second parameter to the getBroadcast() method, so you get different PendingIntent instances for each

Step #4: Have your BroadcastReceiver read the extra to determine the action that was clicked

Or...

Step #1: Move all of your Intent/PendingIntent/Notification creation logic inside of the loop

Step #2: Use a unique action string in each of the Intent objects

Step #3: Have your BroadcastReceiver read the action string to determine the action that was clicked

Or...

Step #1: Use different BroadcastReceivers for each action button
