A description of an Intent and target action to perform with it.  Instances
 of this class are created with getActivity(Context, int, Intent, int), getActivities(Context, int, Intent, int),
 getBroadcast(Context, int, Intent, int), and getService(Context, int, Intent, int); the returned object can be
 handed to other applications so that they can perform the action you
 described on your behalf at a later time.
 
By giving a PendingIntent to another application, you are granting it the right to perform the operation you have specified as if the other application was yourself (with the same permissions and identity). As such, you should be careful about how you build the PendingIntent: almost always, for example, the base Intent you supply should have the component name explicitly set to one of your own components, to ensure it is ultimately sent there and nowhere else.
A PendingIntent itself is simply a reference to a token maintained by
 the system describing the original data used to retrieve it.  This means
 that, even if its owning application's process is killed, the
 PendingIntent itself will remain usable from other processes that
 have been given it.  If the creating application later re-retrieves the
 same kind of PendingIntent (same operation, same Intent action, data,
 categories, and components, and same flags), it will receive a PendingIntent
 representing the same token if that is still valid, and can thus call
 cancel() to remove it.
 
Because of this behavior, it is important to know when two Intents
 are considered to be the same for purposes of retrieving a PendingIntent.
 A common mistake people make is to create multiple PendingIntent objects
 with Intents that only vary in their "extra" contents, expecting to get
 a different PendingIntent each time.  This does not happen.  The
 parts of the Intent that are used for matching are the same ones defined
 by Intent.filterEquals.  If you use two
 Intent objects that are equivalent as per
 Intent.filterEquals, then you will get
 the same PendingIntent for both of them.
 
There are two typical ways to deal with this.
If you truly need multiple distinct PendingIntent objects active at
 the same time (such as to use as two notifications that are both shown
 at the same time), then you will need to ensure there is something that
 is different about them to associate them with different PendingIntents.
 This may be any of the Intent attributes considered by
 Intent.filterEquals, or different
 request code integers supplied to getActivity(Context, int, Intent, int), getActivities(Context, int, Intent, int),
 getBroadcast(Context, int, Intent, int), or getService(Context, int, Intent, int).
 
If you only need one PendingIntent active at a time for any of the
 Intents you will use, then you can alternatively use the flags
 FLAG_CANCEL_CURRENT or FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT to either
 cancel or modify whatever current PendingIntent is associated with the
 Intent you are supplying.
 
Also note that flags like FLAG_ONE_SHOT or FLAG_IMMUTABLE describe the
 PendingIntent instance and thus, are used to identify it. Any calls to retrieve or modify a
 PendingIntent created with these flags will also require these flags to be supplied in
 conjunction with others. E.g. To retrieve an existing PendingIntent created with
 FLAG_ONE_SHOT, both FLAG_ONE_SHOT and FLAG_NO_CREATE need to be supplied.

Constants
FLAG_ALLOW_UNSAFE_IMPLICIT_INTENT
public static final int FLAG_ALLOW_UNSAFE_IMPLICIT_INTENT
Flag indicating that the created PendingIntent with FLAG_MUTABLE
 is allowed to have an unsafe implicit Intent within. 
Starting with
 Build.VERSION_CODES.UPSIDE_DOWN_CAKE, for apps that
 target SDK Build.VERSION_CODES.UPSIDE_DOWN_CAKE or
 higher, creation of a PendingIntent with FLAG_MUTABLE and an
 implicit Intent within will throw an IllegalArgumentException
 for security reasons. To bypass this check, use
 FLAG_ALLOW_UNSAFE_IMPLICIT_INTENT when creating a PendingIntent.
 However, it is strongly recommended to not to use this flag and make the
 Intent explicit or the PendingIntent immutable, thereby making the Intent
 safe.
Constant Value: 16777216 (0x01000000)
FLAG_CANCEL_CURRENT
public static final int FLAG_CANCEL_CURRENT
Flag indicating that if the described PendingIntent already exists,
 the current one should be canceled before generating a new one.
 For use with getActivity(Context, int, Intent, int), getBroadcast(Context, int, Intent, int), and
 getService(Context, int, Intent, int). 
You can use
 this to retrieve a new PendingIntent when you are only changing the
 extra data in the Intent; by canceling the previous pending intent,
 this ensures that only entities given the new data will be able to
 launch it.  If this assurance is not an issue, consider
 FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT.
Constant Value: 268435456 (0x10000000)
FLAG_IMMUTABLE
public static final int FLAG_IMMUTABLE
Flag indicating that the created PendingIntent should be immutable. This means that the additional intent argument passed to the send methods to fill in unpopulated properties of this intent will be ignored.
FLAG_IMMUTABLE only limits the ability to alter the
 semantics of the intent that is sent by send() by the invoker of
 send(). The creator of the PendingIntent can always update the
 PendingIntent itself via FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT.
Constant Value: 67108864 (0x04000000)
FLAG_MUTABLE
public static final int FLAG_MUTABLE
Flag indicating that the created PendingIntent should be mutable.
 This flag cannot be combined with FLAG_IMMUTABLE. 
Up until
 Build.VERSION_CODES.R, PendingIntents are assumed to
 be mutable by default, unless FLAG_IMMUTABLE is set. Starting
 with Build.VERSION_CODES.S, it will be required to
 explicitly specify the mutability of PendingIntents on creation with
 either FLAG_IMMUTABLE or FLAG_MUTABLE. It is strongly
 recommended to use FLAG_IMMUTABLE when creating a
 PendingIntent. FLAG_MUTABLE should only be used when some
 functionality relies on modifying the underlying intent, e.g. any
 PendingIntent that needs to be used with inline reply or bubbles.
Constant Value: 33554432 (0x02000000)
FLAG_NO_CREATE
public static final int FLAG_NO_CREATE
Flag indicating that if the described PendingIntent does not
 already exist, then simply return null instead of creating it.
 For use with getActivity(Context, int, Intent, int), getBroadcast(Context, int, Intent, int), and
 getService(Context, int, Intent, int).
Constant Value: 536870912 (0x20000000)
FLAG_ONE_SHOT
public static final int FLAG_ONE_SHOT
Flag indicating that this PendingIntent can be used only once.
 For use with getActivity(Context, int, Intent, int), getBroadcast(Context, int, Intent, int), and
 getService(Context, int, Intent, int). 
If set, after
 send() is called on it, it will be automatically
 canceled for you and any future attempt to send through it will fail.
Constant Value: 1073741824 (0x40000000)
FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT
public static final int FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT
Flag indicating that if the described PendingIntent already exists,
 then keep it but replace its extra data with what is in this new
 Intent. For use with getActivity(Context, int, Intent, int), getBroadcast(Context, int, Intent, int), and
 getService(Context, int, Intent, int). 
This can be used if you are creating intents where only the extras change, and don't care that any entities that received your previous PendingIntent will be able to launch it with your new extras even if they are not explicitly given to it.
FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT still works even if FLAG_IMMUTABLE is set - the creator of the PendingIntent can always
 update the PendingIntent itself. The IMMUTABLE flag only limits the
 ability to alter the semantics of the intent that is sent by send() by the invoker of send().
Constant Value: 134217728 (0x08000000)
Fields
Public methods
cancel
public void cancel ()
Cancel a currently active PendingIntent. Only the original application owning a PendingIntent can cancel it.
describeContents
public int describeContents ()
Describe the kinds of special objects contained in this Parcelable
 instance's marshaled representation. For example, if the object will
 include a file descriptor in the output of writeToParcel(android.os.Parcel, int),
 the return value of this method must include the
 CONTENTS_FILE_DESCRIPTOR bit.
| Returns | |
|---|---|
| int | a bitmask indicating the set of special object types marshaled
 by this Parcelable object instance.
 Value is either 0orCONTENTS_FILE_DESCRIPTOR | 
equals
public boolean equals (Object otherObj)
Comparison operator on two PendingIntent objects, such that true
 is returned then they both represent the same operation from the
 same package.  This allows you to use getActivity(Context, int, Intent, int),
 getBroadcast(Context, int, Intent, int), or getService(Context, int, Intent, int) multiple times (even
 across a process being killed), resulting in different PendingIntent
 objects but whose equals() method identifies them as being the same
 operation.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
| otherObj | Object: This value may benull. | 
| Returns | |
|---|---|
| boolean | trueif this object is the same as the obj
          argument;falseotherwise. | 
getActivities
public static PendingIntent getActivities (Context context, int requestCode, Intent[] intents, int flags, Bundle options)
Like getActivity(android.content.Context, int, android.content.Intent, int), but allows an
 array of Intents to be supplied.  The last Intent in the array is
 taken as the primary key for the PendingIntent, like the single Intent
 given to getActivity(android.content.Context, int, android.content.Intent, int).  Upon sending
 the resulting PendingIntent, all of the Intents are started in the same
 way as they would be by passing them to Context.startActivities(Intent[]).
 
 The first intent in the array will be started outside of the context of an
 existing activity, so you must use the Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK launch flag in the Intent.  (Activities after
 the first in the array are started in the context of the previous activity
 in the array, so FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK is not needed nor desired for them.)
 
 The last intent in the array represents the key for the
 PendingIntent.  In other words, it is the significant element for matching
 (as done with the single intent given to getActivity(android.content.Context, int, android.content.Intent, int),
 its content will be the subject of replacement by
 send(android.content.Context, int, android.content.Intent) and FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT, etc.
 This is because it is the most specific of the supplied intents, and the
 UI the user actually sees when the intents are started.
 
For security reasons, the Intent objects
 you supply here should almost always be explicit intents,
 that is specify an explicit component to be delivered to through
 Intent.setClass
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
| context | Context: The Context in which this PendingIntent should start
 the activity. | 
| requestCode | int: Private request code for the sender | 
| intents | Intent: Array of Intents of the activities to be launched.
 This value cannot benull. | 
| flags | int: May beFLAG_ONE_SHOT,FLAG_NO_CREATE,FLAG_CANCEL_CURRENT,FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT,FLAG_IMMUTABLEor any of the flags as supported byIntent.fillIn()to control which unspecified parts
 of the intent that can be supplied when the actual send happens.
 Value is either0or a combination ofFLAG_ONE_SHOT,FLAG_NO_CREATE,FLAG_CANCEL_CURRENT,FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT,FLAG_IMMUTABLE,FLAG_MUTABLE, android.app.PendingIntent.FLAG_MUTABLE_UNAUDITED,FLAG_ALLOW_UNSAFE_IMPLICIT_INTENT,Intent.FILL_IN_ACTION,Intent.FILL_IN_DATA,Intent.FILL_IN_CATEGORIES,Intent.FILL_IN_COMPONENT,Intent.FILL_IN_PACKAGE,Intent.FILL_IN_SOURCE_BOUNDS,Intent.FILL_IN_SELECTOR, andIntent.FILL_IN_CLIP_DATA | 
| options | Bundle: This value may benull. | 
| Returns | |
|---|---|
| PendingIntent | Returns an existing or new PendingIntent matching the given
 parameters.  May return null only if FLAG_NO_CREATEhas been
 supplied. | 
getActivities
public static PendingIntent getActivities (Context context, int requestCode, Intent[] intents, int flags)
Like getActivity(android.content.Context, int, android.content.Intent, int), but allows an
 array of Intents to be supplied.  The last Intent in the array is
 taken as the primary key for the PendingIntent, like the single Intent
 given to getActivity(android.content.Context, int, android.content.Intent, int).  Upon sending
 the resulting PendingIntent, all of the Intents are started in the same
 way as they would be by passing them to Context.startActivities(Intent[]).
 
 The first intent in the array will be started outside of the context of an
 existing activity, so you must use the Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK launch flag in the Intent.  (Activities after
 the first in the array are started in the context of the previous activity
 in the array, so FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK is not needed nor desired for them.)
 
 The last intent in the array represents the key for the
 PendingIntent.  In other words, it is the significant element for matching
 (as done with the single intent given to getActivity(android.content.Context, int, android.content.Intent, int),

 This is because it is the most specific of the supplied intents, and the

| Returns | |
|---|---|
| PendingIntent | Returns an existing or new PendingIntent matching the given
 parameters.  May return null only if FLAG_NO_CREATEhas been
 supplied. | 
getActivity
public static PendingIntent getActivity (Context context, int requestCode, Intent intent, int flags)
Retrieve a PendingIntent that will start a new activity, like calling
 Context.startActivity(Intent).
 Note that the activity will be started outside of the context of an
 existing activity, so you must use the Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK launch flag in the Intent.
 
For security reasons, the Intent
 you supply here should almost always be an explicit intent,
 that is specify an explicit component to be delivered to through
 Intent.setClass
| Parameters | |

getCreatorPackage
public String getCreatorPackage ()
Return the package name of the application that created this PendingIntent, that is the identity under which you will actually be sending the Intent. The returned string is supplied by the system, so that an application can not spoof its package.
Be careful about how you use this.  All this tells you is
 who created the PendingIntent.  It does not tell you who
 handed the PendingIntent to you: that is, PendingIntent objects are intended to be
 passed between applications, so the PendingIntent you receive from an application
 could actually be one it received from another application, meaning the result
 you get here will identify the original application.  Because of this, you should
 only use this information to identify who you expect to be interacting with
 through a send() call, not who gave you the PendingIntent.

hashCode
public int hashCode ()
Returns a hash code value for the object. This method is
 supported for the benefit of hash tables such as those provided by
 HashMap.
 
 The general contract of hashCode is:
 
- Whenever it is invoked on the same object more than once during
     an execution of a Java application, the hashCodemethod must consistently return the same integer, provided no information used inequalscomparisons on the object is modified. This integer need not remain consistent from one execution of an application to another execution of the same application.
- If two objects are equal according to the equalsmethod, then calling thehashCodemethod on each of the two objects must produce the same integer result.
- It is not required that if two objects are unequal
     according to the equalsmethod, then calling thehashCodemethod on each of the two objects must produce distinct integer results. However, the programmer should be aware that producing distinct integer results for unequal objects may improve the performance of hash tables.
| Returns | |
|---|---|
| int | a hash code value for this object. |
