Notification is not cancelled after calling notification.cancel

Question

I create notification with action button. When clicking on action button, broadcast receiver is called. I am passing the notification ID in the intent

In the broadcast receiver I do the following

int notifId = intent.getIntExtra(Constants.NOTIF_ID, 0);
NotificationManager mNotificationManager = 
        (NotificationManager) context.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);   

mNotificationManager.cancel(notifId);

This is how I generate the notification

int notifId = Util.random.nextInt(9000);
Intent mIntent = new Intent(con, NotificationBroadcastReceiver.class);
mIntent.putExtra(Constants.NOTIF_CODE, codeReason);
mIntent.putExtra(Constants.NOTIF_ID, notifId);

PendingIntent mPendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(con, 0, mIntent , 0);

NotificationCompat.Builder mBuilder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(con)
        .setSmallIcon(R.drawable.icon)
        .setContentTitle("test")
        .setPriority(Notification.PRIORITY_MAX)
        .setAutoCancel(true)
        .addAction(R.drawable.ic_launcher, "action", mPendingIntent);

// Creates an explicit intent for an Activity in your app
Intent resultIntent = new Intent(con, MainActivity.class);

PendingIntent resultPendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(
        con, 0, resultIntent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT
);

mBuilder.setContentIntent(resultPendingIntent);
NotificationManager mNotificationManager =
        (NotificationManager) con.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);

mBuilder.setDefaults(
        Notification.DEFAULT_SOUND |
        Notification.DEFAULT_VIBRATE |
        Notification.DEFAULT_LIGHTS
);

// mId allows you to update the notification later on.
mNotificationManager.notify(notifId, mBuilder.build());

However the notification does not get hidden/dismissed although I know I am hitting the code ( using log statements).

Why is that?

Answer 1

1. Check your id if it's zero.
2. Check the notification is not binded with other Service by startForeground().
