Execute code when Android notification is canceled [duplicate]

Question

I've done some searching and have been unable to find anything even closely related.

When a user cancels a notification in Android (by swiping the notification to one side of the screen), does anyone know of clean way to detect this? I think it would be a rather handy feature in an app to be able to cancel a notification and have the app recognize this and mark something as read in the app instead of clicking the notification and opening the app to mark something as read.

Answer 1

Came across this question today. It looks like the second answer has an interesting solution to detect if a notification is still shown or not. This works for pre API 11 devices. Any device running API 11 or newer can use the setDeleteIntent() to fire a PendingIntent when the notification is cleared.

Answer 2

Luke's answer helped me with this. Thanks!

I also found this setDeleteIntent() example which I share for everyone's reference.

how to use delete intent to perform some action on clear notification?
