Updating progressbar from IntentService?
<p>I'm trying to update the progressbar which is integrated in my notification bar but I can't seem to get it working. I kind of have the idea why it is not working but I have no idea of how to solve it. this is the code:</p>

<pre><code>public class DownloadService extends IntentService{

     public DownloadService() {
        super("DownloadService");


    }

       @Override
       public void onCreate() {
           super.onCreate();
           ctx = getApplicationContext();
           root = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()+"/folder-videos/");
           if(root.exists() &amp;&amp; root.isDirectory()) {

           }else{
               root.mkdir();
           }          
           notificationManager = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
           PendingIntent contentIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, null, 0);

           notification = new Notification(R.drawable.icon, "App", System.currentTimeMillis());
           contentView = new RemoteViews(getPackageName(), R.layout.progress_layout);
           notification.flags = Notification.FLAG_AUTO_CANCEL;
           notification.contentView = contentView;
           notification.contentIntent = contentIntent;
           contentView.setProgressBar(R.id.status_progress, 100, 0, false);        
           contentView.setTextViewText(R.id.status_text,"Downloading...");  

       }

        @Override
    protected void onHandleIntent(Intent intent) {
        Intent broadcastIntent = new Intent();

        int count;
        String full_url = URL + intent.getStringExtra(VIDEOS);

        try {
            URL url = new URL(full_url);
            URLConnection conexion = url.openConnection();
            conexion.connect();
            File file = new File(root.getPath(), intent.getStringExtra(VIDEOS));

            int lenghtOfFile = conexion.getContentLength();
            Log.d("ANDRO_ASYNC", "Lenght of file: " + lenghtOfFile);

            InputStream input = new BufferedInputStream(url.openStream());
            OutputStream output = new FileOutputStream(file);

            byte data[] = new byte[1024];

            long total = 0;
            contentView.setTextViewText(R.id.status_text,"Downloading " + intent.getStringExtra(VIDEOS));  
            while ((count = input.read(data)) &gt; 0) {
               total += count;      
               notification.contentView.setProgressBar(R.id.status_progress, 100,(int)((total*100)/lenghtOfFile), false);       
               Log.e("totaltotal","" + (int)((total*100)/lenghtOfFile));
               output.write(data, 0, count);


            } 
            notificationManager.notify(1,notification);
            output.flush();
            output.close();
            input.close();
        } catch (Exception e) {
            Log.e("PRINTSTACK","STACK:" + e.getMessage());
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

    }
}
</code></pre>

<p>I know I have to call : notificationManager.notify(1,notification); within the while loop and I've tried but it freezes the app and crashes it. Is there any other way to notify the notification manager of the progressbar updates.</p>

<p>Thanks!!</p>
