android - Event OnClick for a button in a custom notification

Question

I have a custom notification with a button. To set the notification and use the event OnClick on my button I've used this code:

//Notification and intent of the notification 
Notification notification = new Notification(R.drawable.stat_notify_missed_call,
            "Custom Notification", System.currentTimeMillis());

Intent mainIntent = new Intent(getBaseContext(), NotificationActivity.class);
PendingIntent pendingMainIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(getBaseContext(),
    0, mainIntent , 0);
notification.contentIntent = pendingMainIntent;

//Remoteview and intent for my button
RemoteViews notificationView = new RemoteViews(getBaseContext().getPackageName(),
    R.layout.remote_view_layout);

Intent activityIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CALL, Uri.parse("tel:190"));
PendingIntent pendingLaunchIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(getBaseContext(), 0,
            activityIntent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);

notificationView.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.button1,
    pendingLaunchIntent);

notification.contentView = notificationView;

notificationManager.notify(CUSTOM_NOTIFICATION_ID, notification);

With this code I've a custom notification with my custom layout...but I can't click the button! every time I try to click the button I click the entire notification and so the script launch the "mainIntent" instead of "activityIntent".

I have read in internet that this code doesn't work on all terminals. I have tried it on the emulator and on an HTC Magic but I have always the same problem: I can't click the button!

My code is right? someone can help me?

Thanks,

Simone

I am writing code in my MyActivity.java class that extends android.app.Activity

It creates a custom notification, when user click on the button it sends a broadcast. There is a broadcast receiver that receives the broadcast.

private void createDownloadNotification() {
        Intent closeButton = new Intent("Download_Cancelled");
        closeButton.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP);

        PendingIntent pendingSwitchIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, 0, closeButton, 0);

        RemoteViews notificationView = new RemoteViews(getPackageName(), R.layout.widget_update_notification);

        NotificationManager notificationManager = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);

        NotificationCompat.Builder builder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this).setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher).setTicker("Ticker Text").setContent(notificationView);
        notificationView.setProgressBar(R.id.pb_progress, 100, 12, false);
        notificationView.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.btn_close, pendingSwitchIntent);

        notificationManager.notify(1, builder.build());

    }


public static class DownloadCancelReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {

        @Override
        public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {

            System.out.println("Received Cancelled Event");
        }
    }

Register receiver in AndroidManifest.xml

<receiver android:name=".MainActivity$DownloadCancelReceiver" android:exported="false">
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="Download_Cancelled" />
            </intent-filter>
        </receiver>

Since it is inner class so have to use $ sign

Widget xml is here

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:gravity="center"
    android:orientation="horizontal" >

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/btn_close"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="Close Me" />

    <ProgressBar
        android:id="@+id/pb_progress"
        style="?android:attr/progressBarStyleHorizontal"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

</LinearLayout>
