Two features missing - touch notification to launch app, and app icon

[ChaseFlorell]

I can't seem to figure out these two missing features.

1. I want to make it so that when the notification is tapped, it launches the app
2. When it shows a notification currently, it's just a round circle... I'd like it to be the app icon.

What might I need to do to enable these? Do you have plans for it?

Hi @ChaseFlorell do you already know how to launch the app when tapping the notification? Can you share it to me? I have the same concern as yours. Thanks.

You would need to use pending intent. Below is a sample:

var manager = (NotificationManager)context.GetSystemService(Context.NotificationService);

var intent =
context.PackageManager.GetLaunchIntentForPackage(context.PackageName);
intent.AddFlags(ActivityFlags.ClearTop);

var pendingIntent = PendingIntent.GetActivity(context, 0, intent, PendingIntentFlags.UpdateCurrent);

var message = "Hello, World!";
var builder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(context)
.SetSmallIcon(Android.Resource.Drawable.StarBigOn)
.SetContentTitle("Boop!")
.SetStyle(new NotificationCompat.BigTextStyle().BigText(message))
.SetContentText(message)
.SetContentIntent(pendingIntent);

manager.Notify(1, builder.Build());

thanks @mehul19851 . What if I want to push it into specific page after clicking the notification, is it possible? I am using xamarin forms.

Is there any update on GK1995 comment?
I also want the same feature for the local notification.

I second these, but these should be two seperate issues so they can be worked on independently.
