How to integrate PendingIntent with other Android components?

Integrating PendingIntent with other Android components allows your application to perform actions that require user interactions, even when your application is not currently alive. Common use cases include working with AlarmManager, NotificationManager, and BroadcastReceiver. This guide provides an example of how to create and use a PendingIntent in conjunction with these components.

Example of PendingIntent with NotificationManager

In this example, we create a notification that, when clicked, will launch an activity using a PendingIntent.

// Inside your Activity Intent notificationIntent = new Intent(this, TargetActivity.class); PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, notificationIntent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT); NotificationCompat.Builder builder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this, CHANNEL_ID) .setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_notification) .setContentTitle("My Notification") .setContentText("This is a notification.") .setPriority(NotificationCompat.PRIORITY_DEFAULT) .setContentIntent(pendingIntent) // Set the pending intent .setAutoCancel(true); // Dismiss the notification on click NotificationManager notificationManager = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE); notificationManager.notify(NOTIFICATION_ID, builder.build());
