Notification problem

[mrossen]

Hi,

If I use the following demo code I do not have the "Clear" button in the message view. Any one know know to get the "Clear" button so I can clear the view

Dim n As Notification
   n.Initialize
   n.Icon = "icon"
   n.SetInfo("This is the title", "and this is the body.", "") 
   'Change Main (above) to "" if this code is in the main module.
   n.Notify(1)

Thanks,

Mogens

The "Clear" button is not part of the notification, the OS adds that; unless you are referring to clear the notification, in that case you have to add:

n.AutoCancel = True

Hi,

On my phone (HTC One X) the message view is split up in two parts.
The upper part with has the headline "Running" and below that others with the headline "Messages". When I receive a SMS the notification it is under "Messages" and I can "Clear" them. With the demo code the notification is under "Running" and can not be cleared.

How do I get my notification down under "Messages" so the "Clear" button appears.

Is there a way to handle this?

Did you add the line I mentioned above?

Yes,
I also have tried to put n.AutoCancel = True after n.Notify(1)

   Dim n As Notification
   n.Initialize
   n.Icon = "icon"
   n.AutoCancel = True
   n.SetInfo("This is the title", "and this is the body.", "") 
   'Change Main (above) to "" if this code is in the main module.
   n.Notify(1)

Is that ALL your code referring to the notification as it sounds like your notification is set as an OnGoingEvent

try adding

n.OnGoingEvent = False

Thanks for your help, but it is still not working :BangHead:

Dim n As Notification
   n.Initialize
   n.Icon = "icon"
   n.AutoCancel = True
   n.OnGoingEvent = False
   n.SetInfo("This is the title", "and this is the body.", "") 
   'Change Main (above) to "" if this code is in the main module.
   n.Notify(1)

Do the 2 notifications have different ID Numbers?

Hi,

I have the previous code in main activity, and this code in my service module with the purpose that the service not killed.

If I unmark " 'Notification1.Icon = "icon"" this notification is shown all the time and I do not want that.

Then I made the other notification for the purpose of showing messages.

Sub Service_Create
    
   SMSInt.Initialize2("smsint", 999)
   
    Notification1.Initialize
    'Notification1.Icon = "icon" 'use the application icon file for the notification
   Notification1.AutoCancel = True
   Notification1.OnGoingEvent = False
    Notification1.Sound = False
   Notification1.Light = False
   Notification1.Vibrate = False
   
   'Make sure that the process is not killed
    Service.StartForeground(1, Notification1) 

End Sub

Hi,

Is there anyone there have seen a tutorial on this notification thing.

There is obviously something I do not understand.

OK, the problem is that both your notifications have an ID of '1'.

Then in your service you use StartForeground which I believe creates a notification that cannot be removed.

leave the service as it is, change the activity to

n.Notify(2)

Perfect Now it works,

Thanks,
