Android notification doesn't disappear after clicking the notification

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);

While building Notification by NotificationBuilder you can use notificationBuilder.setAutoCancel(true);.

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

// Uses the default lighting scheme
notification.defaults |= Notification.DEFAULT_LIGHTS;

// Will show lights and make the notification disappear when the presses it
notification.flags |= Notification.FLAG_AUTO_CANCEL | Notification.FLAG_SHOW_LIGHTS;

2016 state: you can use mBuilder.setAutoCancel(true).
