Yes, I have set the activity android:launchMode=singleTop in the manifest, but still in vain. I have put breakpoints in onCreate() and onNewIntent(). onCreate is called only the first time, and onNewIntent is never called.

[android-developers] Re: ReStarting An Activity From A Service
Hi Dianne, I have found this in the doc. when the activity is re-launched while at the top of the activity stack instead of a new instance of the activity being started, onNewIntent() will be called on the existing instance with the Intent that was used to re-launch it. on my case, the incoming call dialog is shown and hence I think the activity isn't at the top of activity stack, you think this might be the reason? Is there a way that I close the activity and re-launch it from inside the service?

[android-developers] Re: ReStarting An Activity From A Service
I am sorry, but the same code doesn't run now. I am testing on the emulator. Can it be a timing issue? if the service is invoked before the incoming call dialog captures the focus, it works because the activity is then on top of stack?

[android-developers] Re: ReStarting An Activity From A Service
OK Mark.
I am trying to make an application that show the caller-ID when there
is an incoming call.
And where there is another call, I wanna update the caller-ID shown.
I have tried OnNewIntent but this callback wasn't called.
The service code is something like that
@Override
public void onStart(Intent intent, int startId) {
phoneStateListener = new PhoneStateListener() {
@Override
public void onCallStateChanged(int state,
String incomingNumber) {
super.onCallStateChanged(state,
incomingNumber);
switch (state) {
case
TelephonyManager.CALL_STATE_RINGING:
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setClass(getApplicationContext(),
IncomingCallActivity.class);
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
intent.putExtra(phoneNumber,
incomingNumber);
startActivity(intent);
break;
}
}
};
}
Is there something I'm missing?
Thank you.

What if they are in the middle of writing a text message, or are using
some other application? Why do you think you have the right to intrude
upon their use of their device this way?
If you are taking some steps to ensure that the only time you start an
activity from your service is if one of your other activities is in the
foreground...then that is your call. I think ensuring that behavior will
be difficult to get right 100% of the time.
Otherwise, I have not yet seen a valid use case of a service launching
an activity. If anyone has such a use case, chime in, and let us know
how you are not irritating your users!

[android-developers] Re: ReStarting An Activity From A Service
Hi Jonas, Thank you for your reply. The activity is created properly when an incoming call takes place. The problem is when another call takes place and the first activity is still shown. I think it's not a permission problem.
