OngoingActivity
public final class OngoingActivity
Main class to access the Ongoing Activities API. It's created with the Builder. After it's created (and before building and posting the Notification) apply apply needs to be called:
NotificationCompat.Builder builder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(context) .... OngoingActivity ongoingActivity = new OngoingActivity.Builder(context, notificationId, builder); .... ongoingActivity.apply(context); notificationManager.notify(notificationId, builder.build());
Builder is also usen to take defaults if they are not explicitly set on it (see the Builder for details).
Note that if a Notification with that id was previously posted it will be replaced. If you need more than one Notification with the same ID you can use a String tag to differentiate them in both the Builder and notify
Afterward, update can be used to update the status.
If saving the OngoingActivity instance is not convenient, it can be recovered (after the notification is posted) with recoverOngoingActivity
It's worth mentioning that the information provided may be used/redered differently on different SysUIs, so we can only provide a general expectation.

Public methods
apply
public void apply(@NonNull Context context)
Notify the system that this activity should be shown as an Ongoing Activity. This will modify the notification builder associated with this Ongoing Activity, so needs to be called before building and posting that notification.
getAnimatedIcon
public @Nullable Icon getAnimatedIcon()
Get the animated icon that can be used on some surfaces to represent this OngoingActivity. For example, in the WatchFace.

getContentDescription
public @Nullable String getContentDescription()
Get the content description of this OngoingActivity if set.
getLocusId
public @Nullable LocusIdCompat getLocusId()
Get the LocusId of this OngoingActivity, this can be used by the launcher to identify the corresponding launcher item and display it accordingly. If not set, returns the one in the corresponding Notification.
getNotificationId
public int getNotificationId()
Get the notificationId of the notification associated with this OngoingActivity.
getOngoingActivityId
public int getOngoingActivityId()
Get the id to this OngoingActivity. This id is used to reference it in recoverOngoingActivity
getStaticIcon
public @NonNull Icon getStaticIcon()
Get the static icon that can be used on some surfaces to represent this OngoingActivity. For example in the WatchFace in ambient mode. If not set, returns the small icon of the corresponding Notification.

getTitle
public @Nullable String getTitle()
Get the title of this OngoingActivity if set.
getTouchIntent
public @NonNull PendingIntent getTouchIntent()
Get the intent to be used to go back to the activity when the user interacts with the Ongoing Activity in other surfaces (for example, taps the Icon on the WatchFace). If not set, returns the touch intent of the corresponding Notification.
recoverOngoingActivity
public static @Nullable OngoingActivity recoverOngoingActivity(@NonNull Context context)
Convenience method for clients that don’t want to / can’t store the OngoingActivity instance. Note that if there is more than one Ongoing Activity active you have not guarantee over which one you get, you need to use one of the other variations of this method.

| Returns | |
|---|---|
@Nullable OngoingActivity |
the Ongoing Activity or null if not found |
recoverOngoingActivity
public static @Nullable OngoingActivity recoverOngoingActivity(
@NonNull Context context,
@NonNull Predicate<OngoingActivity> filter
)
Convenience method for clients that don’t want to / can’t store the OngoingActivity instance.
| Parameters | |

@Nullable OngoingActivity |
the Ongoing Activity or null if not found |
recoverOngoingActivity
public static @Nullable OngoingActivity recoverOngoingActivity(@NonNull Context context, int ongoingActivityId)
Convenience method for clients that don’t want to / can’t store the OngoingActivity instance.
| Parameters | |
