How to avoid displaying push notification in notification bar when app is already in foreground in android

You must Login before you can answer or comment on any questions.

Hi I am developing a application for android using ACS push notifications and I am able to successfully registered for ACS and to send notifications. But my problem is when my application is already in foreground and if a push notification arrives at that time it displays only in notification bar and then again I need to go to notification bar and click on notification to come back to the app. Isn't there any method of avoid it means directly fetching notification details when I am already in foreground.

Thanks in advance

  • When you are sending notification to only one device use the parameter 'to_id' instead of to_ids. So your http request should be like https://api.cloud.appcelerator.com/v1/push_notification/notify.json?key=uGDhfoFYdIwwyCKQMzKlSuNIPxl3CBSd&to_id=ND1TQ9BM8TW4GYASMP2MJ84'. Hope it will help
