Try using setData() to store your message instead of extras: that
forces the
Intent to be seen as a new one. Or you can keep using extras and
create some
other unique token every time for setData().
Lee
p.s. you can also try FLAG_CANCEL_CURRENT at the end of your
getService call (read
the PendingIntent docs first).
