Notificaiton progressbar produces sound on update Android

I have been updating Notification Progress-bar like this. This is called multiple times. But Notification sound is produced multiple times. Which is annoying
builder.setProgress(100, percentage, false);
notificationManager.notify(notifycation.notificationId, notifycation.builder.build());
Here is Notification Code
public void initProgressNotificaiton(Context context) {
notificationManager = NotificationManagerCompat.from(context);
builder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(context, ChannelId);
builder.setContentTitle("Video Upload")
.setOngoing(true)
.setContentText("Upload in progress")
.setSound(null)
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.upload)
.setPriority(NotificationCompat.PRIORITY_LOW);
notificationManager.notify(notificationId, builder.build());
}
Channel Code
public void createNotificationChannel(Context context) {
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.O) {
CharSequence name = "naem";
String description = "desc";
int importance = NotificationManager.IMPORTANCE_DEFAULT;
NotificationChannel channel = new NotificationChannel(ChannelId, name, importance);
channel.setSound(null, null);
channel.setDescription(description);
NotificationManager notificationManager = context.getSystemService(NotificationManager.class);
notificationManager.createNotificationChannel(channel);
}
How do i fix that? Tested on API 30 Emulator.

Add a flag to alert only once.
Try this:
Notification notification = builder.build();
notification.flags |= Notification.FLAG_ONLY_ALERT_ONCE;
notificationManager.notify(notificationId, notification);

Notifications always making sound: setSound(null) is not wroking on OS >= 8

I am trying to group notifications and trigger sounds only for some of them using notification builder setSound() method, but it doesn't work. Each time I receive notifications it triggers the ringtone even though I call setSound(null)
This is my code:
TaskStackBuilder stackBuilder = TaskStackBuilder.create(getContext());
stackBuilder.addParentStack(getParentActivityClass());
Intent notificationIntent = intent == null ? new Intent() : new Intent(intent);
if (cls != null)
notificationIntent.setClass(getContext(), cls);
notificationIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP);
stackBuilder.addNextIntentWithParentStack(notificationIntent);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = stackBuilder.getPendingIntent(0,
PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
InboxStyle style = new NotificationCompat.InboxStyle();
int mapId = subGroupId + groupId;
putGroupLine(mapId, text);
List<String> notifLines = groupedNotificationsMap.get(mapId);
for (int i = 0; i < notifLines.size(); i++) {
style.addLine(notifLines.get(i));
}
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.O) {
String NOTIFICATION_CHANNEL_ID = "default";
String channelName = "Default";
NotificationChannel chan = new NotificationChannel(NOTIFICATION_CHANNEL_ID, channelName
, NotificationManager.IMPORTANCE_HIGH);
chan.setLightColor(Color.BLUE);
chan.setLockscreenVisibility(Notification.VISIBILITY_PUBLIC);
if (alert == false) {
chan.setSound(null, null);
chan.setVibrationPattern(null);
}
else {
chan.setVibrationPattern(vibrate);
}
NotificationManager manager = (NotificationManager) context.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
manager.createNotificationChannel(chan);
}
NotificationCompat.Builder mBuilder;
mBuilder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(context, "default")
.setSmallIcon(getSmallIconResource())
.setAutoCancel(true);
int colorRes = getSmallIconColor();
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.O) {
mBuilder.setGroupAlertBehavior(NotificationCompat.GROUP_ALERT_SUMMARY);
}
if (alert) {
mBuilder.setSound(getRingtone());
mBuilder.setVibrate( vibrate );
}
else {
mBuilder.setSound(null);
mBuilder.setVibrate(null);
}
Notification notif = mBuilder
.setContentTitle(title)
.setTicker(text)
.setContentText(text)
.setSmallIcon(getSmallIconResource())
.setStyle(style
.setBigContentTitle(title)
)
.setGroup("g" + groupId)
.setContentIntent(pendingIntent)
.build();
NotificationCompat.Builder summaryBiulder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(getContext(), "default")
.setContentTitle(title)
.setAutoCancel(true)
//set content text to support devices running API level < 24
.setContentText(text)
.setSmallIcon(getSmallIconResource())
//build summary info into InboxStyle template
.setStyle(new InboxStyle()
.setBigContentTitle(title)
.setSummaryText(title))
.setColor(colorRes)
//specify which group this notification belongs to
.setGroup("g" + groupId)
//set this notification as the summary for the group
.setGroupSummary(true)
.setGroupAlertBehavior(NotificationCompat.GROUP_ALERT_SUMMARY)
.setContentIntent(pendingIntent);
if (alert) {
summaryBiulder.setSound(getRingtone());
summaryBiulder.setVibrate( vibrate );
}
else {
summaryBiulder.setSound(null);
summaryBiulder.setVibrate(null);
}
Notification summaryNotification = summaryBiulder .build();
notif.flags |= Notification.FLAG_AUTO_CANCEL;
notif.flags |= Notification.FLAG_HIGH_PRIORITY;
notifManager.notify(subGroupId, notif);
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.O) {
notifManager.notify(groupId, summaryNotification);
}
Any suggestions?

Your problem is about notification importance
importance types
IMPORTANCE_MAX: unused
IMPORTANCE_HIGH: shows everywhere, makes noise and peeks
IMPORTANCE_DEFAULT: shows everywhere, makes noise, but does not visually intrude
IMPORTANCE_LOW: shows everywhere, but is not intrusive
IMPORTANCE_MIN: only shows in the shade, below the fold
IMPORTANCE_NONE: a notification with no importance; does not show in the shade
source

Although the other answers are useful, the main issue here was that the notification channel was already created. So, as stated in the docs, the behavior of a channel cannot be changed after creation (sound and vibration in this case). Only name and description can be changed, the user has full control over the rest.

In the code snippet,
NotificationChannel chan = new NotificationChannel(NOTIFICATION_CHANNEL_ID, channelName,
NotificationManager.IMPORTANCE_HIGH);
Try replacing
NotificationManager.IMPORTANCE_HIGH to NotificationManager.IMPORTANCE_NONE
As according to Android developer documentation,
IMPORTANCE_HIGH
Higher notification importance: shows everywhere, makes noise and peeks. May use full screen intents.
So it may be making sound due to this.
Here's the link to other importance values available

How can i hide badge count number when startForeground()

startForeground() need to create NotificationChannel so it will show badge number 1 on Launcher icon in Oreo devices
How can i hide/disable it programmatically?
Because Galaxy S8(Oreo) display badge number 1.
And Android 8.0 emulator also display dot.
This is how i am doing now. But setShowBadge(false) not works
EDIT1:
NotificationManager manager = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
NotificationChannel tmpC = new NotificationChannel(id, "basic", NotificationManager.IMPORTANCE_MIN);
tmpC.setShowBadge(false);
manager.createNotificationChannel(tmpC);
Notification notification = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this, id)
.setChannelId(id)
.setAutoCancel(true)
.build();
startForeground(getPackageName().hashCode(), notification);

This answer is correct, but the point is you have to remove old version of the application by hands from Android "Applications" menu and install new version with mChannel.setShowBadge(false) on the clean device to get it working. An installation over the old version (where mChannel.setShowBadge(false) was absent) will not lead to the changing of the behaviour concerned with this badge.

all you need to do is calling setShowBadge(false) on your NotificationChannel object.
NotificationManager mNotificationManager =
(NotificationManager) getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
// Create notification channel.
NotificationChannel channel = new NotificationChannel({channel_id}, {name}, {importance});
mChannel.setShowBadge(false); // Disable badges for this notification channel.
mNotificationManager.createNotificationChannel(mChannel);
// Create notification and use channel
Notification notification = new NotificationCompat.Builder(context, {channel_id})
...
.build();
// notify
mNotificationManager.notify({notification_id}, notification)
Check out Modify a Notification Badge.

private void createNotificationChannel() {
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.O) {
NotificationChannel serviceChannel = new NotificationChannel(
CHANNEL_ID,
"Example Service Channel",
NotificationManager.IMPORTANCE_MIN
);
serviceChannel.setVibrationPattern(new long[]{ 0 });
serviceChannel.enableVibration(true);
serviceChannel.enableLights(false);
serviceChannel.setSound(null, null);
serviceChannel.setShowBadge(false); //
NotificationManager manager = getSystemService(NotificationManager.class);
manager.createNotificationChannel(serviceChannel);
}
setShowBadge(false) it is working

Different notification sound not working in Oreo

I am facing some Notification related issue in Oreo Version only. I follow this link and successfully got custom sound after uninstall/install the app as he has suggested.
Now problem is that I want to use two custom sound in my app, For that, I have code like:
private void sendNotification(NotificationBean notificationBean) {
String textTitle = notificationBean.getTitle();
String alert = notificationBean.getMessage().getAlert();
int orderId = notificationBean.getMessage().getOrderId();
String notificationType = notificationBean.getMessage().getNotificationType();
String sound = notificationBean.getMessage().getSound();
Intent intent = new Intent(this, NavigationDrawerActivity.class);
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_ONE_SHOT);
Uri soundUri;
if (notificationType.equals("Pending"))
soundUri = Uri.parse("android.resource://" + getApplicationContext().getPackageName() + "/" + R.raw.sound);
else
soundUri = RingtoneManager.getDefaultUri(RingtoneManager.TYPE_NOTIFICATION);
NotificationCompat.Builder mBuilder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this, getString(R.string.app_name))
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_stat_name)
.setContentTitle(textTitle)
.setContentText(alert)
.setSound(soundUri)
.setContentIntent(pendingIntent)
.setPriority(NotificationCompat.PRIORITY_DEFAULT);
// Create the NotificationChannel, but only on API 26+ because
// the NotificationChannel class is new and not in the support library
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.O) {
CharSequence name = getString(R.string.app_name);
String description = getString(R.string.app_name);
int importance = NotificationManager.IMPORTANCE_DEFAULT;
NotificationChannel channel = new NotificationChannel(getString(R.string.app_name), name, importance);
channel.setDescription(description);
AudioAttributes attributes = new AudioAttributes.Builder()
.setContentType(AudioAttributes.CONTENT_TYPE_SONIFICATION)
.setUsage(AudioAttributes.USAGE_NOTIFICATION)
.build();
channel.enableLights(true);
channel.enableVibration(true);
channel.setSound(soundUri, attributes);
// Register the channel with the system; you can't change the importance
// or other notification behaviors after this
NotificationManager notificationManager = getSystemService(NotificationManager.class);
notificationManager.createNotificationChannel(channel);
}
NotificationManagerCompat notificationManager = NotificationManagerCompat.from(this);
// notificationId is a unique int for each notification that you must define
notificationManager.notify(101, mBuilder.build());
}
If I get notificationType = "Pending" then I want to use custom sound, otherwise DEFAULT sound but Here It is playing that sound which is played first-time (When I receive notification first time.).
I am getting this problem in OREO only. In all other devices its working fine.
Any help? Your help would be appreciated.

Problem:
It seems Notification Channel issue.
Solution:
Either you should create separate channel, or you should delete your own channel.
Strategy:
1) Create separate channel:
You may select this strategy if you want to persist multiple channels along with various configuration for your app.
To create separate channel, just provide unique channel ID while creating it.
i.e.:
NotificationChannel channel = new NotificationChannel(uniqueChannelId, name, importance);
2) Delete your existing channel and re-create it:
You may select this strategy if you want to persist only one channel along with updated configuration for your app.
To delete your own channel and re-create it, following may work fine:
NotificationManager mNotificationManager = getSystemService(NotificationManager.class);
NotificationChannel existingChannel = notificationManager.getNotificationChannel(channelId);
//it will delete existing channel if it exists
if (existingChannel != null) {
mNotificationManager.deleteNotificationChannel(notificationChannel);
}
//then your code to create channel
NotificationChannel channel = new NotificationChannel(channelId, name, importance);

I got hint to solve my problem from #Mehul Joisar's answer.
As he wrote:
Either you should create separate channel, or you should delete your
own channel.
I have created two separate channels for different sounds.
As I think, we cant change Notification Channel settings after once we
have created channel. We must have to remove and create new or else We
have to create separate channels for different settings.
Here I am sharing full code to help others.
private void sendNotification(NotificationBean notificationBean) {
String textTitle = notificationBean.getTitle();
String alert = notificationBean.getMessage().getAlert();
int orderId = notificationBean.getMessage().getOrderId();
String notificationType = notificationBean.getMessage().getNotificationType();
Intent intent = new Intent(this, NavigationDrawerActivity.class);
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
Uri soundUri;
String channelName;
if (notificationType.equals("Pending")) {
channelName = getString(R.string.str_chef);
soundUri = Uri.parse("android.resource://" + getApplicationContext().getPackageName() + "/" + R.raw.sound);
}
else {
channelName = getString(R.string.str_customer);
soundUri = RingtoneManager.getDefaultUri(RingtoneManager.TYPE_NOTIFICATION);
}
NotificationCompat.Builder mBuilder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this, channelName)
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_stat_name)
.setContentTitle(textTitle)
.setContentText(alert)
.setSound(soundUri)
.setContentIntent(pendingIntent)
.setPriority(NotificationCompat.PRIORITY_DEFAULT);
// Create the NotificationChannel, but only on API 26+ because
// the NotificationChannel class is new and not in the support library
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.O) {
CharSequence name = getString(R.string.app_name);
String description = getString(R.string.app_name);
int importance = NotificationManager.IMPORTANCE_DEFAULT;
NotificationChannel channel = new NotificationChannel(channelName, name, importance);
channel.setDescription(description);
AudioAttributes attributes = new AudioAttributes.Builder()
.setContentType(AudioAttributes.CONTENT_TYPE_SONIFICATION)
.setUsage(AudioAttributes.USAGE_NOTIFICATION)
.build();
channel.enableLights(true);
channel.enableVibration(true);
channel.setSound(soundUri, attributes);
// Register the channel with the system; you can't change the importance
// or other notification behaviors after this
NotificationManager notificationManager = getSystemService(NotificationManager.class);
notificationManager.createNotificationChannel(channel);
}
NotificationManagerCompat notificationManager = NotificationManagerCompat.from(this);
// notificationId is a unique int for each notification that you must define
notificationManager.notify(101, mBuilder.build());
}
NOTE: Must uninstall your app first and then test with this code.
Thank you.

Android O reporting notification not posted to channel - but it is

Couple Android O notification questions:
1) I have created a Notification Channel (see below), am calling the builder with .setChannelId() (passing in the name of the channel I created, "wakey"; and yet, when I run the app, I get a message that I've failed to post a notification to channel "null". What might be causing this?
2) I suspect the answer to #1 can be found in the "log" that it says to check, but I've checked logcat & don't see anything about notifications or channels. Where is the log that it says to look in?
Here's the code I'm using to create the channel:
NotificationManager notificationManager = (NotificationManager) context.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
CharSequence name = context.getString(R.string.app_name);
String description = "yadda yadda"
int importance = NotificationManager.IMPORTANCE_DEFAULT;
NotificationChannel channel = new NotificationChannel(NOTIFICATION_CHANNEL, name, importance);
channel.setDescription(description);
notificationManager.createNotificationChannel(channel);
Here's the code to generate the notification:
Notification.Builder notificationBuilder;
Intent notificationIntent = new Intent(context, BulbActivity.class);
notificationIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_RECEIVER_FOREGROUND); // Fix for https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=53313
PendingIntent contentIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0, notificationIntent, 0);
Intent serviceIntent = new Intent(context, RemoteViewToggleService.class);
serviceIntent.putExtra(WakeyService.KEY_REQUEST_SOURCE, WakeyService.REQUEST_SOURCE_NOTIFICATION);
PendingIntent actionPendingIntent = PendingIntent.getService(context, 0, serviceIntent, PendingIntent.FLAG_CANCEL_CURRENT);
_toggleAction = new Notification.Action(R.drawable.ic_power_settings_new_black_24dp, context.getString(R.string.toggle_wakey), actionPendingIntent);
notificationBuilder= new Notification.Builder(context)
.setContentTitle(context.getString(R.string.app_name))
.setContentIntent(contentIntent)
.addAction(_toggleAction);
if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.O) {
notificationBuilder.setChannelId(NOTIFICATION_CHANNEL);
}
notificationBuilder.setSmallIcon(icon);
notificationBuilder.setContentText(contentText);
_toggleAction.title = actionText;
int priority = getNotificationPriority(context);
notificationBuilder.setPriority(priority);
notificationBuilder.setOngoing(true);
Notification notification = notificationBuilder.build();
notificationManager.notify(NOTIFICATION_ID, notification);
And here's the warning I'm getting:

I think I have learned a couple things that all add up to an answer:
I was using an emulator device, with an image that did not include the Play Store.
The version of Google Play Services on the image was not the latest, so I should have been getting a notification telling me I needed to upgrade. Since that notification didn't get applied to a channel, it didn't appear.
If I set logcat in Android Studio to "No Filters" instead of "Show only selected application", then I found the logs that pointed out that the notification in question was the Play Services "update needed" notification.
So, I changed to a image with the Play Store included, and it showed the notification properly (maybe the channel for that notification was to be set by the Play Store?), let me update to the latest Google Play Services, and I haven't seen that warning since.
So, long story short (too late) - with Android O, if you are using Google Play Services & testing on the emulator, choose an image with the Play Store included, or ignore the toast (good luck on that one!).

I had the same problem, and resolved it by using the constructor
new Notification.Builder(Context context, String channelId), instead of the one which is deprecated onAPI levels >=26 (Android O) :
new NotificationCompat.Builder(Context context)
The following code won't work if your notificationBuilder is built using the deprecated constructor :
if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.O) {
notificationBuilder.setChannelId(NOTIFICATION_CHANNEL);}

First create the notification channel:
public static final String NOTIFICATION_CHANNEL_ID = "4565";
//Notification Channel
CharSequence channelName = NOTIFICATION_CHANNEL_NAME;
int importance = NotificationManager.IMPORTANCE_LOW;
NotificationChannel notificationChannel = new NotificationChannel(NOTIFICATION_CHANNEL_ID, NOTIFICATION_CHANNEL_NAME, importance);
notificationChannel.enableLights(true);
notificationChannel.setLightColor(Color.RED);
notificationChannel.enableVibration(true);
notificationChannel.setVibrationPattern(new long[]{100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 400, 300, 200, 400});
NotificationManager notificationManager = (NotificationManager) context.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
notificationManager.createNotificationChannel(notificationChannel);
then use the channel id in the constructor:
final NotificationCompat.Builder builder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(context, NOTIFICATION_CHANNEL_ID)
.setDefaults(Notification.DEFAULT_ALL)
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_timers)
.setVibrate(new long[]{100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 400, 300, 200, 400})
.setSound(null)
.setChannelId(NOTIFICATION_CHANNEL_ID)
.setContent(contentView)
.setPriority(NotificationCompat.PRIORITY_DEFAULT)
.setLargeIcon(picture)
.setTicker(sTimer)
.setContentIntent(pendingIntent)
.setAutoCancel(false);

You gotta create a channel before.
private void createNotificationChannel() {
// Create the NotificationChannel, but only on API 26+ because
// the NotificationChannel class is new and not in the support library
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.O) {
CharSequence name = getString(R.string.channel_name);
String description = getString(R.string.channel_description);
int importance = NotificationManager.IMPORTANCE_DEFAULT;
NotificationChannel channel = new NotificationChannel(CHANNEL_ID, name, importance);
channel.setDescription(description);
// Register the channel with the system; you can't change the importance
// or other notification behaviors after this
NotificationManager notificationManager = getSystemService(NotificationManager.class);
notificationManager.createNotificationChannel(channel);
}
}
public void notifyThis(String title, String message) {
NotificationCompat.Builder mBuilder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this, CHANNEL_ID)
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.green_circle)
.setContentTitle(title)
.setContentText(message)
.setPriority(NotificationCompat.PRIORITY_DEFAULT);
NotificationManagerCompat notificationManager = NotificationManagerCompat.from(this);
// notificationId is a unique int for each notification that you must define
notificationManager.notify(0, mBuilder.build());
}
Finally you call this method:
createNotificationChannel();
notifyThis("My notification", "Hello World!");

create a notification using following code :
Notification notification = new Notification.Builder(MainActivity.this)
.setContentTitle("New Message")
.setContentText("You've received new messages.")
.setSmallIcon(R.mipmap.ic_launcher)
.setChannelId(channelId)
.build();
not using :
Notification notification = new NotificationCompat.Builder(MainActivity.this)
.setContentTitle("Some Message")
.setContentText("You've received new messages!")
.setSmallIcon(R.mipmap.ic_launcher)
.setChannel(channelId)
.build();

You have to create a NotificationChannel first
val notificationChannel = NotificationChannel("channelId", "channelName", NotificationManager.IMPORTANCE_DEFAULT)
notificationManager.createNotificationChannel(notificationChannel);
This is the only way to show notification for API 26+

I was facing the same problem. It got resolved by creating a NotificationChannel and adding that newly created channel with the notification manager.

I would also like to add that you will receive this error if you're using Build tools v26+:
app/build.grade:
compileSdkVersion 26
buildToolsVersion "26.0.2"
defaultConfig {
targetSdkVersion 26
Downgrading to lowest version should work fine.
