Expected Behavior

I need a way to detect if the user clicked the Android foreground service notification, and redirect him to a specific screen in the application.

Actual Behavior

The documentation for the plugin describes onNotificationAction listener to detect clicks on custom layout buttons, but no way to detect the click on the notification itself.

Context

See "Expected behavior"

P. S. Also, on this page it says that XML layout file will be created in the folder app/res/layouts, but my Android Studio created it in the folder app/res/layout.

P. P. S. I came close to solving my issue by using a custom layout and making the whole of it clickable, by adding android:clickable="true" and android:id attribute to the top-level <LinearLayout> element. This way, the entire notification is treated as a large button, and a click event is forwarded to the plugin and can be handled. Unfortunately, this has a big downside: after the click, the Android notification panel remains open.

I’ll see what can be done.
