Anonymous User 3496 30-Dec-2015
I am using remote view to create a custom layout  notification , i want to auto cancel the notification once the user touches it 

MyCode:
RemoteViews remoteView = new RemoteViews(this.getPackageName(), R.layout.notification_layout);      
    NotificationCompat.Builder builder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(MainActivity.this);
    builder.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher);
    Intent intent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, SecondActivity.class);
    PendingIntent pIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(MainActivity.this, RQST_CODE, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_CANCEL_CURRENT);
    remoteView.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.btnNotification, pIntent);
    builder.setAutoCancel(true);
    builder.setContent(remoteView); 
    Notification notify = builder.build();
    notify.flags |= Notification.FLAG_AUTO_CANCEL;
    NotificationManager notiManager = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
    notiManager.notify(NOTY_ID, notify);

The way I achieved this is by creating BroadcastReceiver which controls button clicks from Notification. Create something like this :

public class NotificationButtonListener extends BroadcastReceiver {
    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
        int action = intent.getIntExtra("mode", -1);
        switch (action) {
            // do some things depending on action if there are more stuff to do
        }
    }
}
Don't forget to add your BroadcastListener to your manifest file:

<receiver android:name=".NotificationButtonListener">
And you can create a helper class for creating and cancelling notification:

public class NotificationHelper {
    private static final int NOTIFICATION_ID = 5;
    private static NotificationManager mNotificationManager = null;
    public static void showNotification(Context context) {
        mNotificationManager = (NotificationManager) context.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
        RemoteViews contentView = new RemoteViews(context.getPackageName(), R.layout.custom_notification_layout);
        contentView.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.btn_close, closePendingIntent);
        Intent mMainIntent = new Intent(context, MainActivity.class);
        mMainIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
        PendingIntent mMainPendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 555, mMainIntent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
        NotificationCompat.Builder mBuilder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(context)
                .setTicker("Playing")
                .setContent(contentView)
                .setAutoCancel(false)
                .setOngoing(true)
                .setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_av_play)
                .setContentIntent(mMainPendingIntent);
        Notification notification = mBuilder.build();
        mNotificationManager.notify(NOTIFICATION_ID, notification);
    }
    public static void cancelNotification() {
        if (mNotificationManager != null) {
            mNotificationManager.cancelAll();
        }
    }
}

And using that class in your NotificationButtonListener you can call NotificationHelper.cancelNotification();
