Android Question Start a service from a notification?

[0CrimsonScythe0]

I want to start a service when the notification is tapped. I've tried using the notification builder library , but using "addaction2" which supports calling a service , the notification is extended and a "button" appears below the notification which I don't want. Is there any way to start a service without using AddAction2 when the notification is tapped?

Sub Service_Start (StartingIntent As Intent)

n1.SmallIcon = "icon"
n1.DefaultLight = True
n1.DefaultVibrate = False
n1.DefaultSound = False
n1.ContentTitle = "xxxxxxxxx"
n1.OnGoingEvent  =True
n1.AddAction2("icon" , "xxxxxxxx" , "" , L)

n1.DefaultVibrate = False

n1.Notify(1)



Service.StartForeground(1 , n1.GetNotification)

End Sub

You could try

.setIntent and call the intent that will relate to the service you wish to call. Or you could wait a while and I will try to add the functionality to the library direct

Another option is to start an activity that starts the service and immediately call Activity.Finish.
You can make the activity transparent.
