How exactly to use Notification.Builder

I found that I am using a deprecated method for noficitations (notification.setLatestEventInfo())

It says to use Notification.Builder.

• How do I use it?

When I try to create a new instance, it tells me:

Notification.Builder cannot be resolved to a type

Determine on iPhone if user has enabled push notifications

I'm looking for a way to determine if the user has, via settings, enabled or disabled their push notifications for my application.

How to fix "no valid 'aps-environment' entitlement string found for application" in Xcode 4.3?

I've been trying very very hard to create a simple simple iOS app which can recieve push notifications. My only reason for doing this is to establish a procedure for some other team members to use, and have not been able to find an up to date, working version of such instructions elsewhere on the web. Our shop is fairly new to iOS dev, I personally am completely inexperienced with iOS dev and Xcode. I've stumbled through tens of tutorials, articles, and trouble posts from Apple and elsewhere and I feel like I might be nearly there...

Here is where I've got to (note I'm using Xcode 4.3 and trying initially to deploy just to iOS 5.1, and I gather that some things may have changed recently vs earlier versions of Xcode, but again I'm new to all this -- and finding it completely confusing and convoluted):

1) I've got a provisioning profile on my iPhone which has Push enabled

2) In my test Xcode project I've got that provisioning profile selected as the signing identity (in Build Settings > Code Signing)

3) I've got my bundle identifier under Summary and Info > Custom iOS Target Properties set properly* (I think??)

4) I've got registerForRemoteNotificationTypes being called in my delegate's didFinishLaunchingWithOptions

5) I've got didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken and didFailToRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithError in my delegate, set up to log the device token or error respectively

6) I've got Enable Entitlements checked under Summary.

7) Right below that the Entitlements File selected is Tinker6 (the name of my test project), which was generated automatically when I checked Enable Entitlements

8) In the Tinker6.entitlements file I've got the following (which I've gathered is correct based on several different posts all over the web, but which I can't find anything definitive from Apple itself on):

Updated

9) Also, I have tried the whole thing without an entitlements file, and get essentially the same result.

10) My mobileprovision file contents include entitlements properly (I've scrambled the number and domain but structurally the same):

<key>application-identifier</key>
<string>12355456A7.com.whatever.tinker</string>
<key>aps-environment</key>
<string>development</string>
<key>get-task-allow</key>
<true/>
<key>keychain-access-groups</key>
<array>
    <string>12355456A7.*</string>
</array>

/end update

When I attempt to run this on my device, I get the following error in Xcode output:

2012-06-11 12:45:23.762 Tinker6[13332:707] Failed to get token, error: 
Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=3000 "no valid 'aps-environment' 
entitlement string found for application" UserInfo=0x24a3b0 
{NSLocalizedDescription=no valid 'aps-environment' entitlement string 
found for application}

I've tried setting get-task-allow to NO, aps-environment to production, all four possible combinations, same thing.

How can I get past this? Where is definitive documentation on this?

-- further background follows --

*As far as the bundle id, I am still not clear on how this should be set in relation to App Ids and Profile ids in the Provisioning profile. In the Provisioning portal under App Ids I have this (again, scrambled the number and domain):

And the two places bundle id is set I have this:

I am not at all sure these are correct or whether one or both should be set to 12355456A7.com.whatever.tinker, though I've tried those earlier in the process with no success...

Note I realize there are many posts with similar titles, however they all seem to be out of date based on the file names and so-forth given, and the fact none of the solutions seem to be useful. I'm hoping the greater level of detail I've given will warrant a quality response. I will probably assign a bounty as soon as possible and if you give a high quality answer that leads to a solution I will award you the bounty as well as promote your answer via twitter and my blog. Especially if you crosspost post a really good "here are the exact 500 steps you need to get a simple push notification app working including provisioning and whatever else" article on your blog or whatever.

Notification bar icon turns white in Android 5 Lollipop

I have an app showing custom notifications. The problem is that when running in Android 5 the small icon in the Notification bar shows white. How can I fix this?

Ask for User Permission to Receive UILocalNotifications in iOS 8

I have set up local notifications in the App Delegate Using this:

- (void)applicationDidEnterBackground:(UIApplication *)application
{
    UILocalNotification *notification = [[UILocalNotification alloc]init];
    [notification setAlertBody:@"Watch the Latest Episode of CCA-TV"];
    [notification setFireDate:[NSDate dateWithTimeIntervalSinceNow:5]];
    [notification setTimeZone:[NSTimeZone defaultTimeZone]];
    [application setScheduledLocalNotifications:[NSArray arrayWithObject:notification]];
}

When I run the app and then quit it I receive an error saying:

2014-06-07 11:14:16.663 CCA-TV[735:149070] Attempting to schedule a local notification {fire date = Saturday, June 7, 2014 at 11:14:21 Pacific Daylight Time, time zone = America/Los_Angeles (PDT) offset -25200 (Daylight), repeat interval = 0, repeat count = UILocalNotificationInfiniteRepeatCount, next fire date = Saturday, June 7, 2014 at 11:14:21 Pacific Daylight Time, user info = (null)} with an alert but haven't received permission from the user to display alerts

How can I get the necessary permission to display the alerts?

Sending a notification from a service in Android

I have a service running, and would like to send a notification. Too bad, the notification object requires a context, like an Activity, and not a service.

Do you know any way to by pass that ? I tried to create an Activity for each notification bu it seems ugly, and I can't find a way to launch an Activity without any view.

How to send parameters from a notification-click to an activity?

I can find a way to send parameters to my activity from my notification.

I have a service that creates a notification. When the user clicks on the notification I want to open my main activity with some special parameters. E.g an item id, so my activity can load and present a special item detail view. More specific, I'm downloading a file, and when the file is downloaded I want the notification to have an intent that when clicked it opens my activity in a special mode. I have tried to use putExtra on my intent, but cant seem to extract it, so I think I'm doing it wrong.

Code from my service that creates the Notification:

        // construct the Notification object.
     final Notification notif = new Notification(R.drawable.icon, tickerText, System.currentTimeMillis());


    final RemoteViews contentView = new RemoteViews(context.getPackageName(), R.layout.custom_notification_layout);
    contentView.setImageViewResource(R.id.image, R.drawable.icon);
    contentView.setTextViewText(R.id.text, tickerText);
    contentView.setProgressBar(R.id.progress,100,0, false);
    notif.contentView = contentView;        

    Intent notificationIntent = new Intent(context, Main.class);
    notificationIntent.putExtra("item_id", "1001"); // <-- HERE I PUT THE EXTRA VALUE
    PendingIntent contentIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0, notificationIntent, 0);
    notif.contentIntent = contentIntent;

    nm.notify(id, notif);

Code from my Activity that tries to fetch the extra parameter from the notification:

 public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    setContentView(R.layout.main);


    Bundle extras = getIntent().getExtras();
    if(extras != null){
        Log.i( "dd","Extra:" + extras.getString("item_id") );
    }

The extras is always null and I never gets anything into my log.

Btw... the onCreate is only run when my activity starts, if my activity is already started I also want to collect the extras and present my activity according to the item_id I receive.

Any ideas?

Best way to serialize a NSData into an hexadeximal string

I am looking for a nice-cocoa way to serialize a NSData object into an hexadecimal string. The idea is to serialize the deviceToken used for notification before sending it to my server.

I have the following implementation, but I am thinking there must be some shorter and nicer way to do it.

+ (NSString*) serializeDeviceToken:(NSData*) deviceToken
{
    NSMutableString *str = [NSMutableString stringWithCapacity:64];
    int length = [deviceToken length];
    char *bytes = malloc(sizeof(char) * length);

    [deviceToken getBytes:bytes length:length];

    for (int i = 0; i < length; i++)
    {
    	[str appendFormat:@"%02.2hhX", bytes[i]];
    }
    free(bytes);

    return str;
}

Thanks for your inputs.

Android notification doesn't disappear after clicking the notifcation

If got some issues with a notification I want to show in the notification bar. Although I set the notification flag to Notification.DEFAULT_LIGHTS & Notification.FLAG_AUTO_CANCEL the notification doesn't disappear after clicking it. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

NotificationManager mNotificationManager = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);

    int icon = R.drawable.icon;
    CharSequence tickerText = "Ticker Text";
    long time = System.currentTimeMillis();

    Notification notification = new Notification(icon, tickerText, time);
    notification.flags = Notification.DEFAULT_LIGHTS & Notification.FLAG_AUTO_CANCEL; 

    Context context = getApplicationContext();
    CharSequence contentTitle = "Title";
    CharSequence contentText = "Text";
    Intent notificationIntent = new Intent(this, SilentFlipConfiguration.class);
    PendingIntent contentIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, notificationIntent, 0);
    notification.setLatestEventInfo(context, contentTitle, contentText, contentIntent);
    mNotificationManager.notify(1,notification);

android pending intent notification problem

I have a alarm thing going on in my app and it launches a notification that then when pressed launched an activity. The problem is that when I create more than one alarm then the activity launched from the notification gets the same extras as the first one. I think the problem is either with the intent i put in the pending intent or in the pending intent itself. I think I might need to put a flag on one of these but I dont know which one.

Intent showIntent =new Intent(context, notificationreceiver.class);
    showIntent.putExtra("details", alarmname);

PendingIntent contentIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0,
        showIntent, 0); 

    notification.setLatestEventInfo(context, "The event is imminent",
            alarmname, contentIntent);

And the receiver of the notification

Bundle b = getIntent().getExtras();
    String eventname = b.getString("details");
    details.setText(eventname);

The "details" extra is the same to every the next time a notification happens instead of having the different value. Until I set the intents I am sure that the correct value goes to the "details" so its a problem of getting the first intent everytime i press any notification. How can I make it to launch the correct intents? Hope I was as clear as i could Thanks!
