Disable touch event for notification bar in Android

Question

Is there a way to disable click on the notification bar when my activity is displayed?

Basically I want to lock the notification bar so that the user will not be able to interact with it.

Answer 1

You can make your activity to full screen. Add this to your activity tag in the manifest file:

android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen"

Answer 2

Set this in your notification:

PendingIntent contentIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0,
                                                        null,
                                                        Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_BROUGHT_TO_FRONT);
