Android notifications getting cleared when clicking on clear all button on the phone

Question

Hi im having a problem with notification getting cleared by clicking clear all in the status bar on the phone.I need to clear the notification only when the user clicks the specified notification and not by clearall option.The notification has to be displayed until he clears it by clicking it. Help me find a solution to this problem.

Use the Notification.FLAG_NO_CLEAR AND Notification.FLAG_ONGOING_EVENT. This should give you the effect you want

Set the Notification.FLAG_NO_CLEAR flag to the notification.

Notification notification = new NotificationCompat.Builder(getApplicationContext())
        .setContentTitle(notificationTitle)
        .setContentText(notificationMessage)
        .setSmallIcon(notificationIcon)
        .setContentIntent(pIntent)
        .build();

notification.flags |= Notification.FLAG_NO_CLEAR;

NotificationManager manager = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
manager.notify(NOTIFICATION_ID, notification);
