I am trying to integrate parse into my app with push notifications and have the notification display custom text and open the device's browser when I send a url to it.

The parse integration is fine(Thats the easy part) but where I am stuck is what to code for the integration for handling the json code sent by the parse interface and have the app translate it into the action I need done.

I know I will have to update the manifest file and the main activity class to accomplish this but I am stuck.

Add Manifest to 

<receiver android:name="com.sample.app.android.recevier.PushNotificationRecevier" >
   <intent-filter>
     <action android:name="com.sample.app.android.SIMPLE_NOTIFICATION" />
   </intent-filter>
</receiver>

Create One receiver Class

import org.json.JSONException;
import org.json.JSONObject;

import android.content.BroadcastReceiver;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;

public class PushNotificationRecevier extends BroadcastReceiver{
    String SimpleNotification="com.sample.app.android.SIMPLE_NOTIFICATION";
    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
        if(intent.getAction().equalsIgnoreCase(SimpleNotification)){

            // Your Stuff 
JSONObject jsonObject=new JSONObject(intent.getExtras().getString("com.parse.Data"));


        }
    }
}

Ok got that, but not sure what to put in the "Your Stuff" area. I know it has to decode the json query(Which I will have toy research how to construct as I am still new to java and json). But also getting errors about: Broadcast Receiver, Context and Intent cannot be resolved to a type. –  JRod Oct 16 '14 at 12:26

u can use JSONObject jsonObject=new JSONObject(intent.getExtras().getString("com.parse.Data")); form get json Object then u can parse ur own way. –  SelvaMariappan Oct 16 '14 at 12:29
    
Ok got that validated finally with a lot of checks from eclipse. Nw for the JSON code. I want to be able to send text and a url for the push to open in browser. In your code I only see appID, packageName and versionCode. I can pass these but what should I pass to send custom title, text and url. Something Like This: { “title”: “You Have a New Message”, “alert": “Here is some text”, “url”: “someurl.com” } –  JRod Oct 16 '14 at 12:40
