Re: [android-developers] How to use PendingIntent to open existing activity and not a new one
Add either FLAG_ACTIVITY_REORDER_TO_FRONT or the combination of FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP and FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP as flags to your Intent. The latter finishes all other activities that might be on your back stack; the former simply brings any existing copy of the activity back to the foreground.

Re: [android-developers] How to use PendingIntent to open existing activity and not a new one
Thanks for the hints. I'm trying to use the FLAG_ACTIVITY_REORDER_TO_FRONT
flag but the behavior remains as earlier. After the activity starts, I
press Menu to go to home and then pull down the Notification list click
on the current one (for my demopendingintent activity) and it brings me a
new activity page. I've added exit buttons and logs through which I'm able
to conclude that it starts a new activity rather than bringing the one
running in the background. May be I'm doing something wrong in my code.
Please find below the code snippet I'm using for showing notifications etc.
---code snippet
private void showNotification() {
mNotificationManager = (NotificationManager)
getSystemService(NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
// //Add current song to notification bar
CharSequence tickerText = Demo Alert;
long when = System.currentTimeMillis();
CharSequence contentTitle = Now playing;
CharSequence contentText = Demo song;
Intent notificationIntent = new Intent(this,
DemoPendingIntentActivity.class);
notificationIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_BROUGHT_TO_FRONT);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(
getApplicationContext(), 0, notificationIntent, 0);
Notification notification = new Notification(
R.drawable.ic_stat_playing, tickerText, when);
notification.setLatestEventInfo(getApplicationContext(), contentTitle,
contentText, pendingIntent);
notification.contentIntent = pendingIntent;
// Make the notification non-clearable
notification.flags = Notification.FLAG_ONGOING_EVENT;
mNotificationManager.notify(notificationId, notification);
}
*and the onCreate() is given below:*
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
mButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
mButton.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View arg0) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Log.d(TAG, Shutting down app);
finish();
}
});
showNotification();
}
--- code snippet
Would appreciate if someone can point me whats going wrong here. Many
thanks.
Regards,
KK

Re: [android-developers] How to use PendingIntent to open existing activity and not a new one
The only times I've done this with Notifications, I have used
FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP and FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP. I assumed
FLAG_ACTIVITY_REORDER_TO_FRONT would work as well, but apparently I am
mistaken.

Thank you very much Mark. I used both the flags in OR and it worked. I
should have tried it as per your last hint. Thanks again.

No problem. Eventually, I'm going to spend the time to try a zillion combinations of Intent flags, activity attributes, and launching scenarios and try to come up with a definitive roster of recommendations.
