How to navigate to specific activity/fragment after tapping on one signal push notification?

can someone provide me the proper documentation or code to navigate to specific activity by tapping on one signal push notification, i want to open the specific fragment
here is my code where i extened application class and initialize one signal :
package com.example.nasapp;
import android.app.Application;
import android.app.PendingIntent;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Parcelable;
import android.util.Log;
import com.example.nasapp.ui.home.HomeFragment;
import com.example.nasapp.ui.information.InformationFragment;
import com.onesignal.OSMutableNotification;
import com.onesignal.OSNotification;
import com.onesignal.OSNotificationAction;
import com.onesignal.OSNotificationOpenedResult;
import com.onesignal.OSNotificationReceivedEvent;
import com.onesignal.OneSignal;
import org.json.JSONException;
import org.json.JSONObject;
public class OneSignalApplication extends Application {
private static final String ONESIGNAL_APP_ID = "e855e254-9b4e-4e6f-a64a-e48db6f35d07";
#Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
// Enable verbose OneSignal logging to debug issues if needed.
//OneSignal.setLogLevel(OneSignal.LOG_LEVEL.VERBOSE, OneSignal.LOG_LEVEL.NONE);
// OneSignal Initialization
OneSignal.initWithContext(this);
OneSignal.setAppId(ONESIGNAL_APP_ID);
// promptForPushNotifications will show the native Android notification permission prompt.
// We recommend removing the following code and instead using an In-App Message to prompt for notification permission (See step 7)
OneSignal.promptForPushNotifications();
OneSignal.setNotificationOpenedHandler(new OneSignal.OSNotificationOpenedHandler() {
#Override
public void notificationOpened(OSNotificationOpenedResult result) {
JSONObject data = result.getNotification().getAdditionalData();
Log.i("OneSignalExample", "Notification Data: " + data);
String notification_topic;
if (data != null) {
try {
System.out.println(data.getString("job_id"));
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
notification_topic = data.optString("notification_topic", "hii");
if (notification_topic != null) {
OneSignal.addTrigger("level", notification_topic);
}
}
}
});
}
}
here is my NotificationServiceExtensionClass:
public class NotificationServiceExtension extends Service implements OneSignal.OSRemoteNotificationReceivedHandler {
#Override
public void remoteNotificationReceived(Context context, OSNotificationReceivedEvent notificationReceivedEvent) {
OSNotification notification = notificationReceivedEvent.getNotification();
// Example of modifying the notification's accent color
OSMutableNotification mutableNotification = notification.mutableCopy();
mutableNotification.setExtender(builder -> {
//... do stuff
builder.setTimeoutAfter(30000);
Intent intent = new Intent();
JSONObject data = notification.getAdditionalData();
// check the data and create intent
intent = new Intent(context, InformationFragment.class);
// or any other depends on data value
intent.putExtra("data", (Parcelable) data);
PendingIntent pendIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context,0,intent,PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
builder = builder.setContentIntent(pendIntent);
return builder;
});
JSONObject data = notification.getAdditionalData();
Log.i("OneSignalExample", "Received Notification Data: " + data);
// If complete isn't call within a time period of 25 seconds, OneSignal internal logic will show the original notification
// To omit displaying a notification, pass `null` to complete()
notificationReceivedEvent.complete(mutableNotification);
}
#Nullable
#Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
return null;
}
}
In manifest i declare this service class:
<service
android:name=".service.NotificationServiceExtension"
android:permission="android.permission.BIND_JOB_SERVICE"
android:exported="false">
am i missing some code or what am i doing wrong in code ,can please someone help?

How to start a method from MainActivity in a foreground service

I have got a MainActivity which gets the current location on click of a button. In the activity, and the location is stored with three different methods in
SharedPreferences
An online SQL Database
In a text file on the device
I have another class to start a foreground service (ForegroundService.java) which starts with the click of another button in the MainAcivity and stops with a third button.
My plan is to have regular (1 hour interval) location updates using the ForegroundService and a JobService. So if we click on the StartService-button in the MainActivity the foreground service should start and regularly call the methods from the MainActivity: getCurrentGPSPosition (to get the location), and the three methods to store the information.
The MainActivity works fine. The ForegroundService can be started and stopped bud I do not know how to make it call the methods from the MainActivity.
Here is the code -
ForegroundService.java:
import android.app.Notification;
import android.app.PendingIntent;
import android.app.Service;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.IBinder;
import androidx.annotation.Nullable;
import androidx.core.app.NotificationCompat;
import static com.example.currentlocation.App.CHANNEL_ID;
public class ForegroundService extends Service {
#Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
}
#Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
//String input = intent.getStringExtra("inputExtra");
Intent notificationIntent = new Intent(this, MainActivity.class);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this,
0, notificationIntent, 0);
Notification notification = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this, CHANNEL_ID)
.setContentTitle("GPS position tracker")
//.setContentText(input)
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_baseline_gps_fixed_24)
.setContentIntent(pendingIntent)
.build();
startForeground(1, notification);
return START_NOT_STICKY;
}
#Override
public void onDestroy() {
super.onDestroy();
}
#Nullable
#Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
return null;
}
}
App.java
import android.app.Application;
import android.app.NotificationChannel;
import android.app.NotificationManager;
public class App extends Application {
public static final String CHANNEL_ID = "CurrentLocationServiceChannel";
#Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
createNotificationChannel();
}
private void createNotificationChannel(){
if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.O) {
NotificationChannel serviceChannel = new NotificationChannel(
CHANNEL_ID,
"Current Location Service Channel",
NotificationManager.IMPORTANCE_DEFAULT
);
NotificationManager manager = getSystemService(NotificationManager.class);
manager.createNotificationChannel(serviceChannel);
}
}
}
In the MainActivity the following parts:
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
........
//Backgroundservice
public void startService(View v){
// String input = editTextInput.getText().toString();
Intent serviceIntent = new Intent(this, ForegroundService.class);
// serviceIntent.putExtra("inputExtra", input);
startService(serviceIntent);
}
public void stopService(View v){
Intent serviceIntent = new Intent(this, ForegroundService.class);
stopService(serviceIntent);
}
//Method to store in SQL online
public void OnReg() {.......code....}
//Method to save data in SharedPreferences
public void saveData() {.......code....}
//Method to save data in Internal File
public void saveToFile() {.......code....}
//method for GPS request
getCurrentGPSLocation() {.......code....}
}
Has anybody got an idea how to work that out? Or do you need more details? Thanks for your help!

Don't put those functions in MainActivity. If you need them to be called from both the Activity and a Service, put them in a separate class that can be instantiated as needed. If you can't do that because there's data in MainActivity that both need, rethink your architecture- that data won't be available when the job service fires anyway.

OK, first solution is to make a new class (Functions.java) and using an intent to call this class form the MainActivity and then do the location request there and then give the data back to the MainActivity.
Second step would then be to do the same from the foreground service.
The Problem is, the functions class does not get the data from the method. If I put hard-coded strings into the intent, they are transmitted to the MainActivity, so the intent works. So this is only part of the full solution.
Here's the code:
public class Functions extends AppCompatActivity {
//initialize variable
FusedLocationProviderClient fusedLocationProviderClient;
private double ser_Latitude;
private double ser_Longitude;
private String ser_Accuracy;
private String ser_Altitude;
private String currentDateandTime;
private String ser_Location;
#Override
protected void onCreate(#Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
// Boolean precision = getIntent().getBooleanExtra("precision", true);
fusedLocationProviderClient = LocationServices.getFusedLocationProviderClient(
Functions.this);
getCurrentGPSLocation();
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.putExtra("latitude", ser_Latitude);
intent.putExtra("longitude", ser_Longitude);
intent.putExtra("accuracy", ser_Accuracy);
intent.putExtra("altitude", ser_Altitude);
intent.putExtra("location", ser_Location);
intent.putExtra("currentDateandTime", currentDateandTime);
setResult(RESULT_OK, intent);
Functions.this.finish();
}
//Force new GPS Location Request
private void getCurrentGPSLocation() {
// get the new location from the fused client
// update the UI - i.e. set all properties in their associated text view items
//Initialize new location request
LocationRequest locationRequest = new LocationRequest()
.setPriority(LocationRequest.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY)
.setInterval(3000)
.setFastestInterval(2000)
.setNumUpdates(1)
;
//Initialize location call back
LocationCallback locationCallback = new LocationCallback() {
#Override
public void onLocationResult(LocationResult locationResult) {
//Initialize location1
Location location1 = locationResult.getLastLocation();
//Set latitude
ser_Latitude = location1.getLatitude();
//Set longitude
ser_Longitude = location1.getLongitude();
//Set Accuracy
double ser_accura1 = location1.getAccuracy();
ser_Accuracy = new DecimalFormat("##.##").format(ser_accura1) + " m";
//Set Altitude
double ser_altit1 = location1.getAltitude();
ser_Altitude = new DecimalFormat("##.##").format(ser_altit1) + " m";
//Get Adress
/* Geocoder geocoder = new Geocoder(getApplicationContext(), Locale.getDefault());
try {
List<Address> listAddresses = geocoder.getFromLocation(ser_Latitude, ser_Longitude, 1);
if (null != listAddresses && listAddresses.size() > 0) {
String _Location1 = listAddresses.get(0).getAddressLine(0);
//Set Location
//ser_Location = String.valueOf(_Location1);
}
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}*/
//Set location as hard-coded string for testing
ser_Location = "London";
//Set Update Time
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("dd.MM.yyyy 'um ' HH:mm:ss z");
currentDateandTime = sdf.format(new Date());
}
};
//Request location updates
if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
return;
}
fusedLocationProviderClient.requestLocationUpdates(locationRequest
, locationCallback, Looper.myLooper());
}
}
The new GPS request is triggered as I can see running the app, but no information is delivered from the method getCurrentGPSLocation() to the intent, which I can see because even the hard-coded location string is not delivered.
This needs revision please.

Foreground Service doesnt work in Android 9 (API 28)

I want to have a foreground service and I wrote the codes.
But the problem is that the app works well on API 26 and below but not in API 28.
The problem in API 28 is that it works as a background service and if you close the app, service closes too.
Here is my code:
MyService:

private NotificationManager notificationManager;
private Notification notification;
// Handler that receives messages from the thread
private final class ServiceHandler extends Handler {
public ServiceHandler(Looper looper) {
super(looper);
}
#Override
public void handleMessage(Message msg) {
// Normally we would do some work here, like download a file.
// For our sample, we just sleep for 5 seconds.
Thread thread = new Thread(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
batteryBroadCast = new BatteryBroadCast(MyService.this);
batteryBroadCast.chargingChanges();
}
});
thread.start();
// Stop the service using the startId, so that we don't stop
// the service in the middle of handling another job
//stopSelf(msg.arg1);
}
}
#Override
public void onCreate() {
// Start up the thread running the service. Note that we create a
// separate thread because the service normally runs in the process's
// main thread, which we don't want to block. We also make it
// background priority so CPU-intensive work doesn't disrupt our UI.
HandlerThread thread = new HandlerThread("ServiceStartArguments", Process.THREAD_PRIORITY_BACKGROUND);
thread.start();
// Get the HandlerThread's Looper and use it for our Handler
serviceLooper = thread.getLooper();
serviceHandler = new ServiceHandler(serviceLooper);
}
#Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
Toast.makeText(this, "service starting", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
createNotificationChannel();
Intent notificationIntent = new Intent(this, MainActivity.class);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, notificationIntent, 0);
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.O) {

}
startForeground(1, notification);
Message msg = serviceHandler.obtainMessage();
msg.arg1 = startId;
serviceHandler.sendMessage(msg);
// If we get killed, after returning from here, restart
return START_STICKY;
}
#Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
// We don't provide binding, so return null
return null;
}
#Override
public void onDestroy() {
Toast.makeText(this, "service done", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
super.onDestroy();
}
private void createNotificationChannel() {
// Create the NotificationChannel, but only on API 26+ because
// the NotificationChannel class is new and not in the support library
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.O) {
CharSequence name = "ChargeScreenService";
String description = "Service";
int importance = NotificationManager.IMPORTANCE_DEFAULT;
NotificationChannel channel = new NotificationChannel(CHANNEL_ID, name, importance);
channel.setDescription(description);
// Register the channel with the system; you can't change the importance
// or other notification behaviors after this
notificationManager = getSystemService(NotificationManager.class);
notificationManager.createNotificationChannel(channel);
}
}
}
MainActivity:
...
startService.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Intent intent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, MyService.class);
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.O) {
startForegroundService(intent);
} else {
startService(intent);
}
}
});
...
Finally, I added the permission in AndroidManifest file.
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE" />
And defined my service too.
<service
android:name=".MyService"
android:enabled="true" />
Testing devices:
Samsung galaxy J7 pro (Model number: SM-J730F) (real device)
Virtual device: Genymotion Android 6

If your app targets API level 26 or higher, the system imposes restrictions on running background services when the app itself isn't in the foreground. In most cases like this, your app should use a scheduled job instead.

Android NotificationListenerService#onNotificationRemoved(..., int reason) not called by System

Based on the Documentation on the Android Developer site, the onNotificationRemoved(with reason) method allows one to get the reason why a notification was dismissed e.g. user cleared all notifications, or just your notification etc.
I have tested some of the other callbacks i.e. onNotificationPosted and onNotificationRemoved without reason and they are successfully called.
Below is the implementation of the NotificationListenerService I created:
package com.solo.notificationlistener;
import android.app.Notification;
import android.service.notification.NotificationListenerService;
import android.service.notification.StatusBarNotification;
import android.util.Log;
public class MyNotificationListenerService extends NotificationListenerService {
#Override
public void onNotificationPosted(StatusBarNotification sbn) {
super.onNotificationPosted(sbn);
if (sbn.getPackageName().equals(getBaseContext().getPackageName())) {
Notification notification = sbn.getNotification();
String notificationText = notification.extras.getString(Notification.EXTRA_TEXT);
Log.d(getClass().getSimpleName(),
String.format("Just posted notification: %s", notificationText));
}
}
#Override
public void onNotificationRemoved(StatusBarNotification sbn) {
super.onNotificationRemoved(sbn);
if (sbn.getPackageName().equals(getBaseContext().getPackageName())) {
Notification notification = sbn.getNotification();
String notificationText = notification.extras.getString(Notification.EXTRA_TEXT);
Log.d(getClass().getSimpleName(),
String.format("Dismissed notification: %s", notificationText));
}
}
#Override
public void onNotificationRemoved(StatusBarNotification sbn, RankingMap rankingMap, int reason) {
super.onNotificationRemoved(sbn, rankingMap, reason);
Log.d(getClass().getSimpleName(), "Dismissing with a reason");
if (sbn.getPackageName().equals(getBaseContext().getPackageName())) {
Notification notification = sbn.getNotification();
String notificationText = notification.extras.getString(Notification.EXTRA_TEXT);
Log.d(getClass().getSimpleName(),
String.format("Dismissed notification: %s\n Reason: %s",
notificationText,
(reason == NotificationListenerService.REASON_CANCEL) ?
"Specifically cancelled my app" :
"Cancelled all perhaps"
));
}
}
}
Any ideas on why this behaviour occurs?
Any assistance is much appreciated

OnNotificationRemoved with reason is for API >= 26
Could it be for that reason the method is not trigerring ?

Use Eddystone Beacon to Show notification in Android Status Bar

I've been able to successfully create an app (thanks davidgyoung!) that monitors beacons in the background and then subsequently opens the app in the background.
Now I would like my app to first prompt with a notification in the status bar saying something like "I've detected a beacon! Would you like to open out app?". Then the user would click on the notification to open the app or dismiss it and ignore the notification.
I've searched on stack overflow for something like but haven't had much success in finding something relevant to beacons. I did find this page that talks about adding StatusBar notifications but I'm not having much success.
Particularly its in my BeaconReferenceApplication.java and MonitoringActivity.java file. I think I put the code in the correct place (after didEnterRegion) but I have unresolved classes for areas like notificationButton, setLatestEventInfo, etc. Can someone help? Thanks in advance!

So I was able to fix my problem by using the example from the Android Developers website for Notifications. I used their sample code, adapted it to my use, and then even further used .bigText to make my notification look great. Credit goes to them and daviggyoung for getting my app working. Thanks!
I also didnt need to edit my MonitoringActivity.java like I posted earlier.
