How to close the status bar/notification panel after notification button click
android, notifications, statusbar
Solution
Ok I've found the solution. It's not public API, but it works (for the moment):
Object sbservice = c.getSystemService( "statusbar" );
Class<?> statusbarManager = Class.forName( "android.app.StatusBarManager" );
Method hidesb = statusbarManager.getMethod( "collapse" );
hidesb.invoke( sbservice );
For this to work
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.EXPAND_STATUS_BAR"/>
is needed
Problem
I've browsed through Stackoverflow and have seen that this question has been asked, but I didn't find any solution. I have a custom notification with 2 buttons. I want the status bar panel to close after I press a button on that notification, but don't know how. If I press the notification itself (so the contentIntent), then the panel closes, which is what I also want for my buttons. Here's my notification code: ``` Notification notification = new Notification(R.drawable.icon, "Service running", System.currentTimeMillis()); notification.flags |= Notification.FLAG_ONGOING_EVENT; notification.contentIntent = openIntent; RemoteViews contentView = new RemoteViews(getPackageName(), R.layout.notification_layout); contentView.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.button1, stopIntent); contentView.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.button2, addIntent); notification.contentView = contentView; notificationManager.notify(NOTIFICATION_ID, notification); ```
