Accessing Android NotificationListenerService Settings
android, android-4.3-jelly-bean, notifications
Solution
Am I missing something?
Well, in your last one, you are conflating an action string with a class name. The "manual" approach would be:
Intent intent=new Intent("android.settings.NOTIFICATION_LISTENER_SETTINGS");
In terms of why Android Studio is not finding `Settings.ACTION_NOTIFICATION_LISTENER_SETTINGS`, that I can't say.
UPDATE
Based on the discussion in the comments, `Settings.ACTION_NOTIFICATION_LISTENER_SETTINGS` is not in the Android SDK at present (marked with `@hide`). Also, the manifest for the Settings app has a slightly different version of the action string:
Intent intent=new Intent("android.settings.ACTION_NOTIFICATION_LISTENER_SETTINGS");
Problem
Android has a new notification listener service as of 4.3: http://developer.android.com/about/versions/jelly-bean.html http://developer.android.com/reference/android/service/notification/NotificationListenerService.html From the docs: Notification access is disabled by default — apps can use a new Intent to take the user directly to the Settings to enable the listener service after installation. I don't see the intent to fire documented anywhere. Perusing the Settings doc doesn't seem helpful: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/provider/Settings.html Looking at the Settings class directly: https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/base/+/refs/heads/master/core/java/android/provider/Settings.java I see ACTION_NOTIFICATION_LISTENER_SETTINGS defined, but when using Android Studio and pointing at 4.3 ACTION_NOTIFICATION_LISTENER_SETTINGS can't be resolved: ``` Intent intent = new Intent(Settings.ACTION_NOTIFICATION_LISTENER_SETTINGS); ``` Trying it more manually doesn't seem to work: ``` Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN); intent.setClassName("com.android.settings", "android.settings.NOTIFICATION_LISTENER_SETTINGS"); ``` edit: doing it the correct way as CommonsWare pointed out below: ``` Intent intent=new Intent("android.settings.NOTIFICATION_LISTENER_SETTINGS"); ``` leads to a crash: (android.content.ActivityNotFoundException: No Activity found to handle Intent { act=android.settings.NOTIFICATION_LISTENER_SETTINGS }) Am I missing something? I'm not sure how to send the user to the proper settings screen to enable this service in my app.
