Actions not showing up in Remote Notification on Android

I can't seem to figure out why I can'y get my actions to show up on a remote notification. I have seen several tutorials on making it happen, and followed them, still no actions show up. The end goal is to have a "Reply" action where you can type in a response and send a reply through the notification, much like the standard text message notification.
I couldn't get that to show up, so I decided to add a second action, that is just a basic action, neither are showing up. I'll post up my sendNotification method, hopefully someone can see what I am doing wrong...
private void sendNotification(String body, String id) {
Intent i;
PendingIntent pi;
if(user.role.equals(Strings.roleMember) { //This is just to separate logic
i = new Intent(this, NotificationReceiver.class);
pi = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, 0, i, 0);
} else {
i = new Intent(this, AgentChatActivity.class);
pi = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, i, 0);
}
i.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
i.putExtra(Strings.chatID, id);
RemoteInput input = new RemoteInput.Builder(Strings.textReply).setLabel("Reply").build();
NotificationCompat.Action replyAction = new NotificationCompat.Action.Builder(android.R.drawable.ic_dialog_info, "Reply", pi)
.addRemoteInput(input).build();
NotificationCompat.Builder builder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this, Strings.channelID)
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_stat_notify)
.setContentTitle("New Message")
.setContentText(body)
.setAutoCancel(true)
.setCategory(NotificationCompat.CATEGORY_MESSAGE) //I have tried without this too
.setPriority(NotificationCompat.PRIORITY_MAX)
.addAction(replyAction)
.addAction(android.R.drawable.ic_dialog_alert, "reply", pi); //this is the second I added just to test
NotificationManager manager = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
if(Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.O) {
NotificationChannel channel = new NotificationChannel(Strings.channelID, "General Messages", NotificationManager.IMPORTANCE_HIGH);
manager.createNotificationChannel(channel);
}
manager.notify(0, builder.build());
}
According to everything I have seen online, that should have actions attached to the notification, however I run it in the emulator (Pixel 6 API 27) and the notification shows up, but no actions are on it. I have tried without the second action, I have tried with only the second action, nothing shows up, just the basic notification. My build settings are set to minSdk 21, compileSdk and targetSdk 33. I would be more than happy to post any more code or anything else anyone needs, I can't figure it out. Thank you.

Canceling Notififcations Android Java

I started working with Notifications and to improve user expirirence I added button to notification "MARK AS READ", so when it is pressed - message will hide;
I had a few problems, in database each message has "read" field which is boolean, in method onDataChange() I loop and check if any of messages have this field as false if they have I call makeNotification(), looks fine, where is problem??? - e.x. I have 2 notifications, I cancel one(the app goes to database and change field to true, so now onDataChange() will be called), but another isn't cancelled and because onDataChange() was called now I have same notification appeared twice.....
I tried to fix this by building array of messages that are read and already displayed, not the best solution I think, but even previous problem was somehow solved this is a wierd one.
When notitifcation appears in notification list it has button "MARK AS READ", when I press it notififcation hides, but only if I start from the highest to the lower ones, so if I press second notification first foldes, if I press third first folds..
In onCreate() counter is set to 1;
public void makeNotification()
{
Intent activityIntent = new Intent(this, Notifications.class);
PendingIntent contentIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(getApplicationContext(), 0, activityIntent, 0);
Intent broadcastIntent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), NotifUpdater.class);
broadcastIntent.putExtra("seconds", message.getSeconds());
broadcastIntent.putExtra("id", String.valueOf(counter));
PendingIntent actionIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, 0,
broadcastIntent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
Notification notification = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this, App.CHANNEL_ID)
.setVibrate(new long[]{100, 0, 100})
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_shield)
.setContentTitle(message.getTime() + " | " + message.getClient())
.setContentText(message.getMessage())
.setContentIntent(contentIntent)
.setAutoCancel(true)
.setOnlyAlertOnce(true)
.addAction(0, "MARK AS READ", actionIntent)
.build();
notificationManager.notify(counter, notification);
counter += 1;
}
// Broadcast which is triggered by pressing button
public class NotifUpdater extends BroadcastReceiver {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
FirebaseDatabase database = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance();
String seconds = intent.getStringExtra("seconds");
int id = Integer.parseInt(intent.getStringExtra("id"));
database.getReference("latest").child(seconds).child("read").setValue(true);
NotificationManager notificationManager = (NotificationManager) context.getSystemService(context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
notificationManager.cancel(id);
}
}

You should have : FLAG_CANCEL_CURRENT
like :
PendingIntent actionIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, NOTIFICATION_ID, buttonIntent, PendingIntent.FLAG_CANCEL_CURRENT);
not FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT

Regarding your first issue, I'd just set an indicator for each notification, "wasShown" or something of the sort that is only set to true once you have showed the notification and when ever you are iterating your notifications, only show those who has "wasShown" set to false.
Regarding your 2nd problem, I'm not familiar with FirebaseDatabase but it sounds like its an ID problem. Did you make sure the ID you are getting from the intent is the right one?

will some one tell me how to get remote notification i mean when sever post some thing user will get the notiffication

i search alot but i find a code which based on notification manager , it
just happens when user click , how can i make it in a proper way when
server uploads something user get notified
public void shownotifications(View view) {
NotificationCompat.Builder notificBuilder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this);
notificBuilder.setContentTitle("Title");
notificBuilder.setContentText("Message");
notificBuilder.setTicker("Alert New Message");
notificBuilder.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.icon);
Intent moreInfoIntent = new Intent(this,MoreInfoNotification.class);
TaskStackBuilder tStackBuilder = TaskStackBuilder.create(this);
tStackBuilder.addParentStack(MoreInfoNotification.class);
tStackBuilder.addNextIntent(moreInfoIntent);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = tStackBuilder.getPendingIntent(0,PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
notificBuilder.setContentIntent(pendingIntent);
notificationManager = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
notificationManager.notify(notifID,notificBuilder.build());
isNotificActive = true;
}
public void stopnotifications(View view) {
if(isNotificActive){
notificationManager.cancel(notifID);
}
}
public void alertnotifications(View view) {
Long alertTime = new GregorianCalendar().getTimeInMillis()+5*1000;
Intent alertIntent = new Intent(this,AlertReceiver.class);
AlarmManager alarmManager= (AlarmManager) getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
alarmManager.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP,alertTime,PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this,1,alertIntent,PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT));
}

You need to have google GCM integrated on your server and your device.
You can go through this .
Here is the Demo code from Google https://github.com/googlesamples/google-services/tree/master/android/gcm

One more suggestion to you use parse.com notification sdk pushing notification on android mobile.

I don't know but may be these link help you little bit.

notification opening a new window no matter what in Java Android

I want to launch a notification. When I click on it, it opens a NEW window of the app.
Here's my code:
public class Noficitation extends Activity {
NotificationManager nm;
static final int uniqueID = 1394885;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
nm = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
Intent intent= new Intent (Intent.ACTION_MAIN);
intent.setClass(getApplicationContext(), SchoolBlichActivity.class);
PendingIntent pi=PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, intent, 0);
String body = " body";
String title = "title!";
Notification n =new Notification(R.drawable.table, body, System.currentTimeMillis());
n.setLatestEventInfo(this, title, body, pi);
n.defaults = Notification.DEFAULT_ALL;
n.flags = Notification.FLAG_AUTO_CANCEL;
nm.notify(uniqueID,n);
finish();
}
by the way, if i add nm.cancel(uniqueID) before the finish(), it creates the notification and immediately deletes it...
Thanks for the help :D

You might want to just add a notification in the notification bar, and when the user clicks it, it will launch the actual Activity. This way the user won't be interrupted in whatever he's doing.
Create the status bar notification like this:
NotificationManager mNotificationManager = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
Notification notification = new Notification(R.drawable.notification_icon, "Hello", System.currentTimeMillis());
Intent notificationIntent = new Intent(this, myclass.class);
notification.setLatestEventInfo(getApplicationContext(), "My notification", "Hello world!", notificationIntent, PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, notificationIntent, 0));
mNotificationManager.notify(1, notification);

Are you just trying to open a notification window in a current activity? Because if you are I dont think you need to launch it with an intent. You normally only use intents to launch new services or activities in your app unless youve built a custom view and activity/service which is to take place within the notification box. I see you have it set up in its own class which is fine but I think the way your doing it by default would open an entire new view.
If you need to launch a notification during a process or something like a button click you dont need to have the intent there.....or at least I never did :) What exactly are you trying to achieve with the notification.

Android: Managing Multiple Notifications

I am trying to create multiple notifications in my application. To identify each notification uniquely, i have given them an unique identificationId. Following is my code:
private void updateNotification(int notificationId, int clockStatusID, CharSequence text) {
//notificationManager.cancel(notificationId);
// throws up an ongoing notification that the timer is running
Log.i("TIMERCOUNT", "Notification id: " + notificationId);
Notification not = new Notification(clockStatusID, // the
// icon
// for
// the
// status
// bar
text, // the text to display in the ticker
System.currentTimeMillis() // the timestamp for the
// notification to appear
);
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.putExtra("notificationID", notificationId);
intent.setAction("actionstring" + System.currentTimeMillis());
intent.setClassName("com.chander.time.android.activities",
"com.chander.time.android.activities.Tabs");
not.setLatestEventInfo(self,
getText(R.string.timer_notification_title),
getText(R.string.timer_on_notification_text), PendingIntent
.getActivity(this, 0, intent,
PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT));
not.flags += Notification.FLAG_ONGOING_EVENT;
not.flags += Notification.FLAG_NO_CLEAR;
notificationManager.notify(notificationId, not);
}
Problem:
When a notification is selected, Tabs activity is called passing the intent. I want to access the unique notificationId of the notification that was selected in Tabs. I tried intent.putExtra() to save the notificationId in the intent. But, for multiple notifications its overwriting the notificationId and returns the latest one. I dont understand as to why this is happening and how can i avoid this overwriting of notificationId.
Thanks,
Chander

I got the answer. The intents were getting cached in. To, make a new intent, just add the following piece of code:
saveCallIntent.setData((Uri.parse("custom://"+System.currentTimeMillis())));
This makes the intent unique.
Also, someone suggested me the following piece of code to make the intent unique:
saveCallIntent.setAction("actionstring" + System.currentTimeMillis());
It didnt help me, but might be of help to someone else.
--Chander

just place the notificationId instead of 0 in pendingIntent.
PendingIntent.getActivity(this, notificationId, intent,PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT));
The user must also update the following code together with the above one to get it working.
mNotificationManager.notify(notificationId, mBuilder.build());
