Faced such a problem. If the user enters Activation A, and then collapses it, then when opening the same activation (but already through a push-notification, and not the application history), it is not recreated.
This is how I create a notification:
Intent intent = new Intent(this, Activity.A); intent.putExtra("DATA1", SOME DATA); intent.putExtra("DATA2", "SOME DATA"); PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0 /* Request code */, intent, 0); Uri defaultSoundUri = RingtoneManager.getDefaultUri(RingtoneManager.TYPE_NOTIFICATION); NotificationCompat.Builder notificationBuilder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this) .setLargeIcon(bitmap) .setSmallIcon(R.drawable.photo_icon) .setContentTitle(fullTitle) .setContentText(text) .setAutoCancel(true) .setPriority(NotificationCompat.PRIORITY_MAX) .setSound(defaultSoundUri) .setContentIntent(pendingIntent); NotificationManager notificationManager = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE); notificationManager.notify(0 /* ID of notification */, notificationBuilder.build());
