Notification problem with AutoCancel

Notification problem with Delete or AutoCancel

Hi,
i've create a service (AlarmService) with:

'---------------------------------------------------------
Sub Process_Globals
 Dim AlarmID As Int
 Dim DescriptionTitle As String
 Dim DescriptionBody As String
 Dim DoneSuccessfully As Boolean
 Dim Notification1 As Notification
End Sub

Sub Service_Create

Notification1.Initialize
Notification1.Icon = "icon" 'use the application icon file for the notification
Notification1.Vibrate = True
Notification1.SetInfo(DescriptionTitle, DescriptionBody, "") ' Main)
Notification1.Sound = True
Notification1.AutoCancel =True

End Sub

Sub Service_Start (StartingIntent As Intent)

 Service.StartForeground(1, Notification1) 

End Sub
'----------------------------------

notification is activated properly !!

1) Why clicking on the notification can not be erased automatically? (Notification1.AutoCancel =True)

2) if I try to manually delete it by ID, notification is NOT DELETED!!!

in Main:

Sub AlarmReset

Dim noti As Notification
noti.Cancel(1)

ToastMessageShow(trans.GetText("ALARM CANCELED") & " (ID: " & tmpAlertID & ")", False)

End Sub

thanks

Service.StartForeground adds an ongoing notification which cannot be removed until you call Service.StopForeground.

 

[stefanoa]

you can give me an example of how to call Service.StopForeground ?

or is there a better way to open a notification rather than Service.StartForeground ?

i've to set an alarm (or notification) from a task....

thanks

You can use Notification.Notify if you do not need to mark the service as a foreground service.

with Notification.Notify and a service, the single notification is ok.
thanks

I encountered the same problem and I still have small question
is there a difference between
1 .nofification.nofify
2 .Service.StartForeground(1,notification) ??

I did not called startforeground but yet as I defined the notification to autocancel it won't work with nortification.cancel !


The solution remains to call
CallSub(myservice,"off_front") where off_front will stop foreground state of the service.
Please coment to clear things out about notification.cancel option !
Thanks

this is from Erel's tutorial and it works just fine
All parameters must be difined in the same place with the nofification.initialise statement
nofification.notify can be triggered when needed.

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
    Dim n1, n2 As Notification
    n1.Initialize
    n1.Icon = "icon"
    n1.SetInfo("n1", "n1", "")
    n2.Initialize
    n2.Icon = "icon"
    n2.SetInfo("n2", "n2", "")
    n1.Notify(1)
    n2.Notify(2)
End Sub
