Passing Intent from Service to FragmentActivity

Question

How do you pass intent extra from service class to FragmentActivity class?

Service Passing Intent to FragmentActivity

  Intent intent = new Intent(getBaseContext(), Home.class);
            intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK
                    | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP);
            intent.putExtra("AlarmActivated", 1);

        startActivity(intent);

FragmentActivity Accepting Intent passed from service

Bundle extras = getIntent().getExtras();
        if (extras != null) {
            extras = getIntent().getExtras();
            stopMovementAlarm = extras.getInt("AlarmActivated");
            Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), stopMovementAlarm,
                    Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            cd.setText("");
            showMyDialog();
            volumeMax();
            alternatingScreen();

        }

I Found My Issue, Passing values between activities gets a little bit more complicated when launchmode SingleTop is thrown into the code.

I needed to put this method in my onResume.

@Override
    protected void onNewIntent(Intent intent) {
        super.onNewIntent(intent);

        // set the string passed from the service to the original intent
        setIntent(intent);

    }

When the activity is re-launched while at the top of the activity stack, onNewIntent() gets called on the existing instance and relaunches the activity so my Intent can refresh.

In the intent you have not specified which activity to launched that is why you are getting the error. You need to specify an activity like below

Intent intent = new Intent(context, Activity.class);

I think the best way will be to use a BroadcastReceiver to pass intent. Check this example http://android-coding.blogspot.in/2011/11/pass-data-from-service-to-activity.html

eidt Try to use getApplicationContext() instead of getBaseContext(). If this wont work try something like this :

//in your activity 

    private MyReceiver receiver = new BroadcastReceiver() {

        @Override
        public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
          Bundle bundle = intent.getExtras();
          if (bundle != null) {
                int datapassed = bundle.getInt("DATAPASSED");

                Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Broadcast received",
                        Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                cd.setText("");
                showMyDialog();
                volumeMax();
                alternatingScreen();
            }
          }
        }
    };

    @Override
    public void onResume(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        IntentFilter intentFilter = new IntentFilter(SOME_ACTION);
        MyReceiver mReceiver = new MyReceiver();
        registerReceiver(mReceiver, intentFilter);
    }

//in your service somewhere
        Intent intent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), Home.class);
        intent.putExtra("DATAPASSED", 1);
        intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK
            | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP);
        sendBroadcast(intent);

I hope that will solve it :)
