I'm looking for a way to close a notification panel after the user pressed some button in my notification. Currently, I'm doing it like that:

sendBroadcast(Intent(Intent.ACTION_CLOSE_SYSTEM_DIALOGS))

But, this way is deprecated on Android 12 and the official recommendation is to use GLOBAL_ACTION_DISMISS_NOTIFICATION_SHADE action from AccessibilityService.

Is there any way to do it somehow without AccessibilityService?

Google seems to think the panel will close automatically when startActivity is called, but it definitely does not and is frustrating – behelit Oct 22 '21 at 00:11

did you find solution? – Muhammad Asad Aug 11 '22 at 11:26
in my case, i tried calling the startActivity from BroadcastReceiver, did you find any solution on this? – Ninad7N Nov 25 '22 at 09:47
@NinadSawant, no. And you can't call startActivity from there since Android 12 - it will crash. – VolodymyrH Nov 28 '22 at 08:43
@VolodymyrH is there any alternate solution for that? – Ninad7N Nov 28 '22 at 10:13

@NinadSawant, for closing dialogs - no, new Google policy, such approach may break accessibility. For start activity from background - maybe workmanager + notification – VolodymyrH Nov 28 '22 at 11:41
