Can someone tell me why a notification is not showing up however the service does run?
B4X:
Sub Process_Globals
'These global variables will be declared once when the application starts.
'These variables can be accessed from all modules.
Dim notif As Notification
End Sub
B4X:
Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
'Do not forget to load the layout file created with the visual designer. For example:
Activity.LoadLayout("latitude_t")
Activity.Title="Latitude"
notif.Initialize
notif.Light = False
notif.Vibrate = False
notif.OnGoingEvent = True
notif.Sound = False
notif.Icon = "icon"
notif.SetInfo("Lat", "Sending GPS coords every 30 seconds", "")
notif.Notify(1)
StartService("lat_service")
Activity.Finish
End Sub
There is no relation between the service and the notification. If the app started from the service then this code will not run and the notification will not show.
Thanks Erel. So are you saying that I'm not correctly starting the service? I guess how do I have my app start but then immediately place a notification in the notification area with the main activity being "hidden"?
