Remove Notification when addAction called?
android, notifications
Solution
So you want to remove your notification, the preliminary is to have a notification id. then invoke method similar as below to eliminate it.
public static void CancelNotification(Context ctx, int notifyId) {
String s = Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE;
NotificationManager mNM = (NotificationManager) ctx.getSystemService(s);
mNM.cancel(notifyId);
}

Problem
I'm adding two action buttons to my notification, when I click either of them they perform the action desired however the notification remains in my notification drawer. I know it's possible to remove the notification from the notification drawer when an action button is clicked as that is how Gmail functions. If I click the main notification it opens the app and removes the notification from the notification drawer. Here is a snippet of my code: ``` Intent completeIntent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), MarkComplete.class); completeIntent.putExtra("rowid", inrowid); completeIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NO_HISTORY); PendingIntent markCompleteIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(getApplicationContext(), inrow, completeIntent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT); builder.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher) .setContentTitle("Title") .setContentText("text") .setContentIntent(notificationReleaseIntent) .setPriority(Notification.PRIORITY_HIGH) .setAutoCancel(true) .addAction(R.drawable.complete, "Mark Complete", markCompleteIntent); ``` Edit - As zionpi pointed out I needed to call notification.cancel(); to remove the notification once the addAction button had been clicked. I simply added this method to my classes where the PendingIntent was pointing. ``` public static void CancelNotification(Context ctx, int notifyId) { String s = Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE; NotificationManager mNM = (NotificationManager) ctx.getSystemService(s); mNM.cancel(notifyId); } ```
