MainActivity.java

public class MainActivity extends Activity{
    static int numMessages = 0;
    Context context;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.notificationmain);
        context = getApplicationContext();

        Button bcustomnotifyaction = (Button)  findViewById(R.id.customnotificationaction);

        bcustomnotifyaction.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                CustomNotificationAction();

            }
        });

    }

    @TargetApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB)
    private void CustomNotificationAction() {
        // Set Notification Title
        String strtitle = "You Got New Notification.";
        // Set Notification Text
        String strtext ="Hi,How are You?";

        // Open NotificationView Class on Notification Click
        Intent intent = new Intent(this, NotificationView.class);
        // Send data to NotificationView Class
        intent.putExtra("title", strtitle);
        intent.putExtra("text", strtext);
        // Open NotificationView.java Activity
        PendingIntent pIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);


        int notificationId = new Random().nextInt(); // just use a counter in some util class...
        PendingIntent dismissIntent = NotificationActivity.getDismissIntent(notificationId, getApplicationContext());

        //Create Notification using NotificationCompat.Builder
        NotificationCompat.Builder builder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this)
                // Set Icon
                .setSmallIcon(R.drawable.logosmall)
                // Set Ticker Message
                .setTicker(strtitle)
                // Set Title
                .setContentTitle(strtitle)
                // Set Text
                .setContentText(strtext)
                // Add an Action Button below Notification
                .addAction(android.R.drawable.ic_menu_close_clear_cancel, "Dismiss", dismissIntent)
                .addAction(android.R.drawable.ic_menu_info_details, "Info", pIntent)
                // Set PendingIntent into Notification
                .setContentIntent(pIntent)
                // showing action button on notification
                .setPriority(Notification.PRIORITY_MAX)
                .setWhen(0)

                /* Increase notification number every time a new notification arrives */
                .setNumber(++numMessages)

                // Dismiss Notification
                .setAutoCancel(true);

        // Create Notification Manager
        NotificationManager notificationmanager = (NotificationManager) context.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
        // Build Notification with Notification Manager
        notificationmanager.notify(0, builder.build());

    }

public static PendingIntent getDismissIntent(int notificationId, Context context) {
    Intent intent = new Intent(context, NotificationActivity.class);
    intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP);
    intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TASK);
    intent.putExtra(NOTIFICATION_ID, notificationId);
    PendingIntent dismissIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_CANCEL_CURRENT);
    return dismissIntent;
} 
}

Solution:

I got my solution by using broadcast Receiver .

CODE i changed : I added this code in MainActivity.java CustomNotificationAction() .

//Create an Intent for the BroadcastReceiver
        Intent buttonIntent = new Intent(context, ButtonReceiver.class);
        //Create the PendingIntent
        PendingIntent btPendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, 0, buttonIntent,0);

And Changed this line From

 .addAction(android.R.drawable.ic_menu_close_clear_cancel, "Dismiss", dismissIntent)

To

.addAction(android.R.drawable.ic_menu_close_clear_cancel, "Dismiss", btPendingIntent)

And Added one Java File

ButtonReceiver.java

public class ButtonReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver  {

@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
    Toast.makeText(context, "Notification Dialog Closed",
            Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
    Log.d("Notification:","Notification Dialog Closed");
    NotificationManager manager = (NotificationManager) context.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
    manager.cancel(0);

    PendingIntent resultPendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context,  0, new Intent(), 0);
    NotificationCompat.Builder mb = new NotificationCompat.Builder(context);
    mb.setContentIntent(resultPendingIntent);
}
}

And Register Broadcast in Mainfest file

 <receiver android:name=".ButtonReceiver"/>

And my problem Solved :)

Answer 1

should set broadcast receiver to detect your action click without starting activity.

Dismiss Ongoing Android Notification Via Action Button Without Opening App

Answer 2

You can do it with both service and Broadcast receiver , But I think Broadcast receiver would be a better choice to do it.

 int final MY_NOTIFICATION_ID = 1;

        //Create an Intent for the BroadcastReceiver
        Intent buttonIntent = new Intent(context, AutoDismissReceiver.class);
        buttonIntent.putExtra("notificationId",MY_NOTIFICATION_ID);

           //Create the PendingIntent
        PendingIntent btPendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, 0, buttonIntent,0);

       //Pass this PendingIntent to addAction method of Intent Builder
        NotificationCompat.Builder mb = new NotificationCompat.Builder(getBaseContext());
        .....
        .....
        mb.addAction(R.drawable.ic_dismiss, "Dismiss Action", btPendingIntent);
        manager.notify(MY_NOTIFICATION_ID, mb.build());

And Broadcast receiver for above function

  public class AutoDismissReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {

            @Override
            public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
                int notificationId = intent.getIntExtra("notificationId", 0);
                NotificationManager manager = (NotificationManager) context.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
                manager.cancel(notificationId);
            }
        }

Hope this helps you.
