my question for you is the following: I have a web app written in HTML5, wrapped as a native Android app in order to use Google Push Notifications. Because my app is using many notifications for different reasons, I want to be able to say each time a notification is received, which page to be open, like adding a 'href' in the notification intent. Is this possible? If I wasn't clear enough please let me know. Thanks

You can define your own notification message content. The Message builder from Google supports key value pairs to be set by the sender of the notification. See http://developer.android.com/reference/com/google/android/gcm/server/Message.html

Example:

Message message = new Message.Builder()
    .addData("link1", "http://mypage1.com")
    .addData("link2", "http://mypage2.com")
    .build();

  • I am already using this so I can know every notification arriving what type is it. But once the notification arrives, I don't know how I open a certain webview of my app. I suppose there's something to do with the Intent object, I'm still searching. – Alex Apr 03 '13 at 12:35
  • You can start the Android browser with the url or start your own activity containing a webview. See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2201917/how-can-i-open-a-url-in-androids-web-browser-from-my-application – userM1433372 Apr 04 '13 at 14:20

When you create the notification, use setContentIntent() to attach an Intent that has been constructed to visit the right webpage:

// assuming <this> is an Activity or other Context
Intent urlIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(yourUrl));
PendingIntent urlPendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0 urlIntent, 0);
Notification.Builder b = new Notification.Builder(this)
   .setSmallIcon(...).setContentTitle(...).setContentText(...) // etc.
   .setContentIntent(urlPendingIntent);
NotificationManager noMan
    = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
noMan.notify(ID, b.build());

If you expect to have more than one of these in the notification panel at a time:

  1. Reconsider. It's spammy to post more than one notification.
  2. If you must, you'll need a separate ID (or separate tag) for each.
