Reacting to notifications

Question

I need my app to react when there is a notification about incoming email, sms or call.

I can use the NotificationManager to create notifications, but not read them from other apps.

I have looked at AccessibilityManager, but I can't quite figure that out either.

Any pointers or examples? Thanks

You should register BroadcastReceiver and listen for specific intents.

You should look at this for incoming SMS.

Email might be impossible in general, but here is a discussion about recieving notifications from Gmail client.

Incoming calls were discussed here.

Email. I don't think you can do it using standart libraries. Probably it has sense to search third party API
SMS. You shuold use BroadcatReceiver for ACTION ="android.provider.Telephony.SMS_RECEIVED"
CALL. Use PhoneStateListener

TelephonyManager telephonyManager = (TelephonyManager)getSystemService(TELEPHONY_SERVICE);

telephonyManager.listen(new PhoneStateListener() {

   @Override 
   public void onCallStateChanged(int state,String incomingNumber) { 
                 //do smth
   } 
}, PhoneStateListener.LISTEN_CALL_STATE);

Could you point me to how stop this reaction I start when the SMS is read? I mean I need to activate a LED when I get a message, and turn it off when it is read. Should I react to the phone being unlocked and let that turn of my notification? — Rasped, Mar 31 '11 at 18:32
