how to Hide notification after tap in android application -

this code gives notification on start of service

notificationcompat.builder mbuild = new notificationcompat.builder(getapplicationcontext());  intent in = new intent(getapplicationcontext(), mainactivity.class); pendingintent resultin =   pendingintent.getactivity(getapplicationcontext(),code,in,notification_count);           mbuild.setsmallicon(r.drawable.images1);     mbuild.setcontenttext(notification_count +" new message"); mbuild.setcontentintent(resultin);          //mbuild.addaction(r.drawable.notifications,notification_count +"new messages",resultin);   notificationmanager nmagr = (notificationmanager) getsystemservice(notification_service); nmagr.notify(1, mbuild.build()); 

everyting working correct ..the code opens target activity notification still stays there in notification bar. have tried useing mbuil.setautocancel(true); doing nothing

try this

notificationmanager nmagr = (notificationmanager) getsystemservice(notification_service);             notification notification=mbuild.build();             notification.flags = notification.flag_auto_cancel;             nmagr.notify(1,notification);
