Android Question Suppress Display

[peggjones]

Hello

I have an activity which runs when a user presses a button on a notification. I do not want to display anything just update something on a databse. How can I suppress the display of the icon and the application label?

Thanks

Which icon? The Activity icon?

You can call Activity.Finish in Activity_Create. You can also create a transparent activity.

Yes the activity icon. What I want to happen is as follows

Activity message is displayed.
User pressed button.
Program runs to set a flag on an SQL database. I want this bit to happen without any interaction with the user ie nothing to display, no requirement for them to do anything.

Thanks

I tried doing the database update then activity.finish and was left with a blank screen that required manual intervention to get rid of it. What I want is for the home screen to remain displayed and for no action to be required of the user.

Thanks

Thanks for your help Erel. I've sorted this out now. Had activity.finish in wrong place!
