Android - Stop (Intercept) C2DM Push Notification if app is running?
android, android-c2dm, push-notification
Solution
@Moujib is right. I am facing the same problem as you, I'd like to stop the push notifications if the app is running. I did managed to solve the problem by using the code from here: http://kpbird.blogspot.com/2011/08/android-check-application-is-running.html
Use that piece of code to check if your app is running or not. Then, if the app is running, I did nothing to it, if it is not running, I would then send/get the push notifications. Hope that helps!
Problem
I have implemented C2DM (Android Push Notification) to my app and all is working fine. However, when my app is running, I am able to get notifications. May I know how if I am able to stop the push notification from coming in if my application is running? I only want to receive push notifications only when my app is not running. Because as far as I know, the APNS (Apple Push Notification Service) would check if the app is running or not before sending the push notification. Does C2DM do this too? Thanks all in advance!
