How To Start The Notificationlistenerservice On Android

I would like to access notifications on a Android phone by using the NotificationListenerService. I checked lots of tutorials but I can't find where they call the service. Should I

Solution 1:

For listening incoming notifications, their is no need to start it explicitly . First define your service in manifest with the following permission -

android.permission.BIND_NOTIFICATION_LISTENER_SERVICE

<serviceandroid:name=".MyNotificationListener"android:permission="android.permission.BIND_NOTIFICATION_LISTENER_SERVICE"><intent-filter><actionandroid:name="android.service.notification.NotificationListenerService" /></intent-filter></service>

Another thing to take care is that you must grant the permission either by using the following intent -

Intent intent=newIntent("android.settings.ACTION_NOTIFICATION_LISTENER_SETTINGS");

or by granting the notification access manually.
