2,087 PointsHow to disable notifications?
If I'm already in the inbox when I receive a message, I would think that I don't need a system notification appearing. I would just want the message to appear in my inbox with a forced refresh.
I'm sitting here trying to figure out how to implement this extra check... would I create a custom receiver using LocalBroadcastManager? If I were to do that, then how would I check to see if they are in the inbox and send them a different intent vs when they are not in the inbox and would get the regular notification?
Any ideas?

Treehouse TeacherI haven't tried it myself, but you may be able to try Responding with an Intent and trigger the inbox refresh there somehow.

2,087 PointsOkay, did some more research into using an intent. I think what needs to happen here is the use of a callback function that makes use of a refresh.
I'll mark this as "best answer". I think at this point, I'll have to create another question and start posting code for more specifics. Thanks Ben.
Curiously, do you know of a resource that can explain using callbacks?

Treehouse TeacherI talk briefly about callbacks at the 2:30 mark in this video: http://teamtreehouse.com/library/build-a-selfdestructing-message-android-app/adding-users-using-parsecom/creating-a-new-user-on-parse
For further reading on Callbacks, here's a decent article with some code examples: http://cleancodedevelopment-qualityseal.blogspot.com/2012/10/understanding-callbacks-with-java.html
