Intent to open the Notification Channel settings from my app

What's the Intent that I need to send in order to open the settings of a Notification Channel that I've previously created in my app? I need to link to it from my app.

Solution

  • To open the notification settings for a single channel, use ACTION_CHANNEL_NOTIFICATION_SETTINGS:

    Intent intent = new Intent(Settings.ACTION_CHANNEL_NOTIFICATION_SETTINGS)
    .putExtra(Settings.EXTRA_APP_PACKAGE, context.getPackageName())
    .putExtra(Settings.EXTRA_CHANNEL_ID, yourChannelId);
startActivity(intent);

    To open the notification settings for the app in general (i.e. to see all channels), use ACTION_APP_NOTIFICATION_SETTINGS:

    Intent intent = new Intent(Settings.ACTION_APP_NOTIFICATION_SETTINGS)
    .putExtra(Settings.EXTRA_APP_PACKAGE, context.getPackageName());
startActivity(intent);
