608624 - Clearing update notification launches fennec

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Wil Clouser [:clouserw]]

To reproduce: 

1) Using a nightly, wait until you are notified about an update.
2) go to the home screen (or an app that isn't fennec)
3) drag the notification bar down and press clear

Results:
Fennec launches, sometimes telling me it will update right then.

Expected:
Update is removed from list and I'm reminded again later

Alex, seems like we can special case for clear not to launch fennec if we've already closed.

Yes, I noticed this as well.

Weird, the code does check that, and only cancels the notification if Fennec is not running:

But the main activity still starts.

Apparently the change of android:launchMode from "singleInstance" to "singleTask" in AndroidManifest.xml for the file picker (bug 569497) resulted in this behavior.
Need to find a workaround.

Attachment: Fix

Using BroadcastReceiver instead of Activity to handle notification clicks/deletions.
