Android - DeleteIntent, how to use?

Question

I currently have a notification in my Android application that has a PendingIntent so that when it is clicked an activity is opened.

I currently keep a counter for the notification, similar to the native missed calls notification.

I can reset this counter to 0 when the notification is clicked.

I also want to reset the counter to 0 when the user selects the "Clear all notifications" button. I have done a search and seen the way to do this is to use the DeleteIntent.

But I cant figure out how to use this alongside my PendingIntent, can anyone help me out?

Answer 1

Create a broadcast or service PendingIntent, pointing to a BroadcastReceiver or IntentService that will reset your counter, and associate that PendingIntent with your Notification via deleteIntent.
