I do indeed need that. What I'm trying to do is: 1) I have a widget with a button, on the button I want to put the PendingIntent that I showed in my first post. 2) Then when the user presses that button, an action happens (something is started), and I want to change the PendingIntent on the button to something new (another activity and different extras) in order to create a 'stop' button 3) When the stop button is pressed I again change the PendingIntent to the one from step 1
So to achieve that I found out that I have to use a PendingIntent, but or the id of the pending-intent I use the id of the widget (because per widget the user needs to be able to start the process). And I do that I have to use the FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT, so the pending intent is updated (and not removed or whatever) when the user presses the button. A second reason to use the FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT is to not loose the PendingIntent when it's fired once. Whit this I mean when the user presses the button, he can still cancel his action (in the activity that opened he just presses the back button of the device). But doing this with the PendingIntent.FLAG_ONE_SHOT will make that when the user presses again that button on the widget my activity is no longer executed. Or should I do this another way...?
