how to show custom dialog box when android application receives notification

Question

popup message feature like whats app, caller id like the true caller, I am trying to make the same thing.

I tried using a broadcast receiver but I do not know how to show the dialog box when a broadcast receives a notification.

a pop-up message like WhatsApp shows when a notification arrives on a phone.

use Intent to start DialogActivity to appear like a DialogBox — Rahul Khurana, Sep 19 '19 at 05:27

when notification hits to the phone, it opens mainactivity and then show dialog — abhishek ghatge, Sep 19 '19 at 08:02
You were telling about `broadcast receiver ` not on the notification click — Rahul Khurana, Sep 19 '19 at 08:08
as I said in the previous comment, Main activity opens without any click on the notification. — abhishek ghatge, Sep 23 '19 at 06:34
Yes, because you've set `mainactivity` as launcher screen. In the `mainactivity` before `setContentView` method calling check if the `intent` has extra parameters as per your requirement. If yes, then finish the current activity and start `DialogActivity`. — Rahul Khurana, Sep 23 '19 at 06:38

Set mainactivity as a launcher screen. In the mainactivity before setContentView method calling check if the intent has extra parameters as per your requirement. If yes, then finish the current activity and start DialogActivity.
