Android notification doesn't disappear after clicking the notifcation

Question

If got some issues with a notification I want to show in the notification bar. Although I set the notification flag to Notification.DEFAULT_LIGHTS & Notification.FLAG_AUTO_CANCEL the notification doesn't disappear after clicking it. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

NotificationManager mNotificationManager = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);

    int icon = R.drawable.icon;
    CharSequence tickerText = "Ticker Text";
    long time = System.currentTimeMillis();

    Notification notification = new Notification(icon, tickerText, time);
    notification.flags = Notification.DEFAULT_LIGHTS & Notification.FLAG_AUTO_CANCEL; 

    Context context = getApplicationContext();
    CharSequence contentTitle = "Title";
    CharSequence contentText = "Text";
    Intent notificationIntent = new Intent(this, SilentFlipConfiguration.class);
    PendingIntent contentIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, notificationIntent, 0);
    notification.setLatestEventInfo(context, contentTitle, contentText, contentIntent);
    mNotificationManager.notify(1,notification);

Answer 1

notification.flags = Notification.DEFAULT_LIGHTS | Notification.FLAG_AUTO_CANCEL

From the documentation:

"Bit to be bitwise-ored into the flags field that should be set if the notification should be canceled when it is clicked by the user"
