title: Notification not starting a activity in android
body: <p>I am developing a small app in which I want a background service to send a notification and when the user clicks the notification it must launch the appropriate activity. I am posting the code here for the notification and my problem is that the notification gets displayed on the status bar but when i click it it does not launch the activity. Can somebody suggest where I am going wrong. Please help.</p>
  
  <pre><code>NotificationManager notificationManager = (NotificationManager) 
          getSystemService(NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
  Notification notification = new Notification(R.drawable.ic_launcher,
          "A New Message!", System.currentTimeMillis());
  Intent notificationIntent = new Intent(NotificationService.this,
          com.jeris.android.MetroActivity.class);
  notificationIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
  PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent
          .getService(NotificationService.this, 0, notificationIntent,
                  PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT | PendingIntent.FLAG_ONE_SHOT);
  notification.setLatestEventInfo(NotificationService.this, "Bullion",
          "Rates for "+ parsedDate+"has not been updated. Go to app to check rates",
          pendingIntent);
  notificationManager.notify(11, notification);
  </code></pre>
