How to i specify the activity that opens after i click on the notification (Android)

[Abhilash Sathe]

How do i fetch json data obtained in the notification and  provide an Intent to open a specific activity?

Hello Abhilash,

After adding the key value pairs to the notification while creating it in our dashboard, you may retrieve them from the intent that is sent in onNewIntent() as its parameter (by calling intent.getExtras()), or by using getIntent().getExtras() in your onCreate() method.

To open an activity, please refer to the Android documentation here.

Let us know if you need any further clarifications.

Thanks for the reply.

Ok, this is what I've done.

@Override
protected void onNewIntent(Intent intent) {
    super.onNewIntent(intent);
    String id  = getIntent().getExtras().getString("myparam");
    Intent intent = new Intent(this, NewActivityToBeOpened.class);
    intent.putExtra("myid", id);
    startActivity(intent);
}

However, when i click on the notification, the new Activity is not triggered. Basically, my debugger itself is not activated when i receive the notification. I've put my debug point in the onNewIntent method.
So what can be the issue?

Which activity is this code in? Opening notifications created by WizRocket launches the app's default activity (launch activity declared in your AndroidManifest.xml).

So how and where can i override the default launch?

You will get the intent with extras only in your launch activity. Please handle the payload in your launch activity.

Ok Cool ! However, i tried this. In my launcher activity i used the below method. However i was assuming that as soon as i receive the notification, my debugger will get active (because onNewIntent would be called ). But this didn't happen. When i clicked on the notification, my main activity opened. This is not something that i want. What i want is to open an activity X when i click on the notification. is that possible?

Yes, this is possible. It is known as deep linking.

Please refer to our Android SDK documentation and to this page.
