You might want to set a constant for extra key, to avoid typos or something that looks like A but typed in wrong language. Also it’s good to have constants for actions<\/p>\n

private static final String EXTRA_A = \"A\";\nprivate static final String A_RESTORE = \"restore\";\nprivate static final String A_CLOSE = \"close\";\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
I don’t know if you do, but not call onNewIntent()<\/code> manually. Also onNewIntent()<\/code> might not be called if your Activity is destroyed when you click on notification. You need to make two entries to check for intent, one for when activity is already running and you get onNewIntent()<\/code>, and one if it’s re-created and you get intent in onCreate()<\/p>\n
@Override\nprotected void onCreate(Bundle b) {\n    super.onCreate(b);\n    \/\/ init views and stuff, and in final onCreate line handle the intent\n    handleIntent(getIntent());\n}\n\n@Override\nprotected void onNewIntent(Intent intent) {\n    super.onNewIntent(intent); \/\/ Make sure to call super\n    handleIntent(intent);\n}\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
The crash means that your Intent does not really contain extra “A”. You cannot use switch<\/code> on a null string, thus you’d be safe if you check if A is null.<\/p>\n
private void handleIntent(Intent intent) {\n    final String a = intent.getStringExtra(EXTRA_A);\n    if (a != null) {\n        switch (a) {\n           case A_RESTORE:\n               ...\n\n           case A_CLOSE:\n               ...\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
Do not modify the same intent for different PendingIntents<\/code>. They are mutable and getActivity()<\/code> does not create a defensive copy.<\/p>\n
final Intent resultIntentRestore = new Intent(this, Adult1Activity.class);\nresultIntentRestore.putExtra(EXTRA_A, A_RESTORE);\nPendingIntent restoreIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(Adult1Activity.this, \n        0, resultIntentRestore, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);\n\nfinal Intent resultIntentClose = new Intent(this, Adult1Activity.class);\nresultIntentClose.putExtra(EXTRA_A, A_CLOSE);\nPendingIntent closeIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(Adult1Activity.this, \n        2, resultIntentClose, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
