Android Push Notification not opening my activity with webview
Make the notification open your WebView app instead: send a PendingIntent, as described here.

I created a push notifications app following this tutorial: http://www.vogella.com/articles/AndroidCloudToDeviceMessaging/article.html
It works and when I get the notification, I can open a website. However, am I able to combine the webview layout with this push notifications app? I feel like it has to be possible because the email notifications work in that way.
Here is my code which handles the notification I receive:
private void handleData(Context context, Intent intent) { String app_name = (String) context.getText(R.string.app_name); String message = intent.getStringExtra("message"); NotificationManager notificationManager = (NotificationManager) context.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE); Notification notification = new Notification(android.R.drawable.stat_notify_chat, app_name + ": " + message, 0); PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, -1, new Intent(context, webviewactivity.class), PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT); // notification.when = System.currentTimeMillis(); notification.flags |= Notification.FLAG_AUTO_CANCEL; notification.setLatestEventInfo(context, app_name, message, pendingIntent); // notificationManager.notify(0, notification); }
However, the HomeActivity which is linked to the main.xml is just a button to register and unregister your device for receiving the notifications. I created another file, webviewactivity.xml under layout:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <WebView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:id="@+id/webview" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" />
and I created the following activity, webviewactivity
public class BHWebView extends Activity { @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.bhwebview_activity); WebView myWebView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview); myWebView.loadUrl("http://www.badgerherald.com"); } }
For some reason though when I click my notification it opens the home activity, not the webview activity.
