android: getting same value from Intent extras

Question

I am doing this to create a Intent.

Intent notificationIntent = new Intent(this, Startup.class);
notificationIntent.putExtra("url", contentUrl);

PendingIntent contentIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0, notificationIntent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
Notification notification = new Notification(icon, tickerText, when);
notification.setLatestEventInfo(context, contentTitle, contentText, contentIntent);

On getting the extra,

CharSequence url = this.getIntent().getCharSequenceExtra("url");

There are many Intents with their respective url values. But I also get back the same value inside onCreate() of Startup class.

What did I do wrong?

are these both different activities.. – ngesh Jun 17 '11 at 10:42 — ngesh, Jun 17 '11 at 10:42

This works! notificationIntent.setAction("actionstring" + System.currentTimeMillis()); PendingIntent contentIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0, notificationIntent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT); – anewbie Jun 20 '11 at 01:23

Use this

PendingIntent contentIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, notifyIntent, android.content.Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);

instead of this

PendingIntent contentIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0, notificationIntent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);

and check the results
