The root of the issue is described here: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/PendingIntent.html
>> If the creating application later re-retrieves the same kind of PendingIntent (same operation, same Intent action, data, categories, and components, and same flags), it will receive a PendingIntent representing the same token << Note that extras are not mentioned in as things that make a pending intent unique. Since your intent contains extras, use PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT so that any new values are picked up. Or use PendingIntent.FLAG_CANCEL_CURRENT as Dianne suggested to cancel the current pending intent with the old extras and create a new one with new values. Or use a unique requestId (the parameter that's documented as not used). Or use PendingIntent.FLAG_ONE_SHOT so the old pending intent is forgotten after being fired, and the a pending intent is created the next time. Or use intent.setData(Uri.parse(intent.toUri(Intent.URI_INTENT_SCHEME))) to give your intent a unique data Uri that contains the extras in an encoded form. -- K 2012/7/19 Matt Schoen <mtsch...@gmail.com> > No, I did not.
