Redirect to Notification Access Settings

Question

I'm currently developing an app for Android that uses the NotificationListenerService, which requires that the user will enable notification access for my app under Setting -> Security -> Notification Access.

My question is that can I redirect the user to this place so they will enable it? So far I only managed to direct them to Setting -> Security window.

Also, is it possible to first check if the user enabled notification access for my app already and only then redirect them?

Answer 1

You can open the NotificationAccessSettingsActivity by using the following Intent, but I'm not sure about checking to see if they've already enabled your app.

startActivity(new Intent("android.settings.ACTION_NOTIFICATION_LISTENER_SETTINGS"));

Alternatively, for API 22+:

startActivity(new Intent(Settings.ACTION_NOTIFICATION_LISTENER_SETTINGS));

Answer 2

Many Thanks to @adneal and @Waboodoo. I am posting this for an complete answer

Check permission granted or not using this method

private boolean isNotificationServiceRunning() {
    ContentResolver contentResolver = getContentResolver();
    String enabledNotificationListeners =
            Settings.Secure.getString(contentResolver, "enabled_notification_listeners");
    String packageName = getPackageName();
    return enabledNotificationListeners != null && enabledNotificationListeners.contains(packageName);
}

Then show settings activity, if necessary

boolean isNotificationServiceRunning = isNotificationServiceRunning();
if(!isNotificationServiceRunning){
    startActivity(new Intent(Settings.ACTION_NOTIFICATION_LISTENER_SETTINGS));
}
