Creating a button in module control panel to manually perform module action in EE 2

Question

I have a module with an action that is in the actions table. I need to be able to click a button in the module control panel which will perform the action(which usually takes about 15 seconds to complete) and then show a success message on completion. I've been through the module tutorial and could not get it working. Some help and guidance would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks.

I suggest you to use below code in mcp file of your module folder.

url = BASE .'&'.'C=addons_modules'.'&'.'M=show_module_cp'.'&'.'module=MODULE_NAME'. '&' . 'method='.$method;
$this->EE->cp->set_right_nav(array('Button Title'  => $url));
