Do you use notification channel?
If you are using Adroid 8 or higher it's expected behavior:
Starting in Android 8.0 (API level 26), all notifications must be
assigned to a channel or it will not appear.
https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/notifiers/notifications#ManageChannels
Here you can find detail tutorial how to create notification channel:
https://developer.android.com/training/notify-user/channels

For devices running Android O or higher, you need to create a notification channel first in order to receive notifications like this:
private void createNotificationChannel() {
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.O) {
NotificationChannel channel = new NotificationChannel(
CHANNEL_ID,
"Channel 1",
NotificationManager.IMPORTANCE_HIGH
);
channel.setDescription("This is Channel 1");
NotificationManager manager = getSystemService(NotificationManager.class);
manager.createNotificationChannel(channel);
}
}
Also, you need to pass this CHANNEL_ID constant in NotificationCompact.Builder constructor like this:
NotificationCompat.Builder notificationBuilder = (NotificationCompat.Builder) new NotificationCompat.Builder(this, CHANNEL_ID)

Is there any Android notifications setContentTitle and setContextText magic values?

I'm currently working on a library with android support.
I'm being asked to notify user on foreground service start.
The notification must contain "ApplicationName" as title, and "ApplicationName is running" as text. The notification icon has to be the same as the launcher one.
The target API level is 26.
The notification did not work because the previous developper forgot to open the notification chanel. This is now fixed, we have the notification that pops correctly. And the label are matching expectation.
But now i'm questioning why the notification contains the expected values. I could not find any reference in the javadoc.
The following code will display the notification as expectecd the application's name as title and the text "ApplicationName is running" :
#Override
public void onCreate() {
NotificationChannel channel = new NotificationChannel("APPLICATION_CHANNEL", "MyService", NotificationManager.IMPORTANCE_LOW);
channel.setDescription(notificationChannelText);
//block below useful for head up notification
channel.setSound(null, null);
channel.setShowBadge(false);
channel.enableLights(false);
channel.enableVibration(false);
NotificationManager notificationManager = (NotificationManager) getApplicationContext().getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
notificationManager.createNotificationChannel(channel);
}
#Override
public int onStartCommand(final Intent intent, final int flags, final int startId) {
foregroundNotification();
return Service.START_STICKY;
}
/**
* In order to start foreground service we and generate a service running notification.
*/
private void foregroundNotification() {
Context context = getApplicationContext();
Intent notificationIntent = new Intent(context, getClass());
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0, notificationIntent, 0);
Notification notification = new Notification.Builder(context, "APPLICATION_CHANNEL")
.setContentTitle("Title")
.setContentText("Subject")
.setContentIntent(pendingIntent)
.build();
startForeground(42666, notification);
}
Why doesn't it just display a notification with "Title" as the title and "Subject" as content ?
Are there any constants or magic values that we have to know ?
Where can we find any documentation or definition about it ?
Edit 2020/04/01 : Added code representing notification channel creation

I found your problem. This is result of your code:
and after add small icon:
.setSmallIcon(R.mipmap.ic_launcher)
It works fine

permanent notification does not show

I submitted my app at the end of 2017 in the play store and it worked.
Then it was built in Eclipse.
Now I run it in Android Studio and the same code doesn't show any notification.
It is a permanent notification which is present after I call the app's finish() method. (why I do this: see at the bottom if you want to know).
So I looked at all the examples and NONE of the work. No single notification is shown.
So I start an activity and in the activity I show the notification. Then I call finish().
This is my code:
Intent intent = new Intent(this, MainActivity.class);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0,
intent, 0);
CharSequence connectedPart = getResources().getString(R.string.app_name);
String melding = "";
melding = getResources().getString(R.string.screentimeoutsetto) + " " + newTimeString + ".";
NotificationManager notificationManager = (NotificationManager) this
.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
Notification notification = new Notification.Builder(this)
.setContentTitle(connectedPart)
.setTicker(connectedPart)
.setContentText(melding)
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_stat_name)
.setContentIntent(pendingIntent)
.setOngoing(true)
.build();
notification.flags |= Notification.FLAG_ONGOING_EVENT;
notification.flags |= Notification.FLAG_NO_CLEAR;
notificationManager.notify(2, notification);
dependencies:
dependencies{
implementation "com.android.support:support-compat:26.1.0"
}
Why I do this:
My app does 1 thing: toggle the screentimeout. So when you start it it sets the screentimeout to 30 minutes (starts, sets a notification, then finish()). Start again, it removes the notification and restore the original value for the screen timeout.

Starting with Android Oreo, all notifications require a notification channel, otherwise the notification wont post and an error will appear in your logcat. Here's an example of how you can do it, lifted from one of my apps:
private static void createNotificationChannel(Context ctx) {
if(SDK_INT < O) return;
final NotificationManager mgr = ctx.getSystemService(NotificationManager.class);
if(mgr == null) return;
final String name = ctx.getString(R.string.channel_name);
if(mgr.getNotificationChannel(name) == null) {
final NotificationChannel channel =
new NotificationChannel(CHANNEL_ID, name, IMPORTANCE_DEFAULT);
mgr.createNotificationChannel(channel);
}
}
//Usage...
createNotificationChannel(context);
NotificationCompat.Builder builder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(context, CHANNEL_ID);
builder.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_alarm_white_24dp);
//etc...
manager.notify(id, builder.build());

Now from Android 8.0 and onward you need to create notification channel before showing notifications. Here is the Docs link
https://developer.android.com/training/notify-user/channels

Android notifications not showing

I'm trying to make a daily notification which will be show at a specific time.
Unfortunately it doesn't show.
I tried to follow couples tuto (also from developer.android.com) and checked similar questions that have already been asked. To save hour I'm using Hawk library.
Intent intent = new Intent(getContext(), AlarmReceiver.class);
int notificationId = 1;
intent.putExtra("notificationId", notificationId);
PendingIntent alarmIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(getContext(), 0,
intent,PendingIntent.FLAG_NO_CREATE);
AlarmManager alarm = (AlarmManager) getContext().getSystemService(getContext().ALARM_SERVICE);
switch (view.getId()) {
int hour = timePicker.getCurrentHour();
int minute = timePicker.getCurrentMinute();
// Create time
....
//set alarm
alarm.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, alarmStartTime, AlarmManager.INTERVAL_DAY, alarmIntent);
Hawk.put("notification_hour", alarmStartTime);
break;
case R.id.cancel_button:
//cancel notification
break;
}
}
and here AlarmReceiver class
public class AlarmReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
public AlarmReceiver () {
}
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
sendNotification(context, intent);
}
private void sendNotification(Context con, Intent intent) {
int notificationId = intent . getIntExtra ("notificationId", 1);
String message = " message";
Intent mainIntent = new Intent(con, MainActivity.class);
PendingIntent contentIntent = PendingIntent . getActivity (con, 0, mainIntent, 0);
NotificationManager myNotificationManager =(NotificationManager) con . getSystemService (Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
Notification.Builder builder = new Notification.Builder(con);
builder.setSmallIcon(android.R.drawable.ic_dialog_info)
.setContentTitle("Reminder")
.setContentText(message)
.setWhen(System.currentTimeMillis())
.setAutoCancel(true)
.setContentIntent(contentIntent)
.setPriority(Notification.PRIORITY_MAX)
.setDefaults(Notification.DEFAULT_ALL);
myNotificationManager.notify(notificationId, builder.build());
}
}

In OREO, they have redesigned notifications to provide an easier and more consistent way to manage notification behavior and settings. Some of these changes include:
Notification channels: Android 8.0 introduces notification channels that allow you to create a user-customizable channel for each type of notification you want to display.
Notification dots: Android 8.0 introduces support for displaying dots, or badges, on app launcher icons. Notification dots reflect the presence of notifications that the user has not yet dismissed or acted on.
Snoozing: Users can snooze notifications, which causes them to disappear for a period of time before reappearing. Notifications reappear with the same level of importance they first appeared with.
Messaging style: In Android 8.0, notifications that use the MessagingStyle class display more content in their collapsed form. You should use theMessagingStyle class for notifications that are messaging-related.
Here, we have created the NotificationHelper class that require the Context as the constructor params. NOTIFICATION_CHANNEL_ID variable has been initialize in order to set the channel_id to NotificationChannel.
The method createNotification(…) requires title and message parameters in order to set the title and content text of the notification. In order to handle the notification click event we have created the pendingIntent object, that redirect towards SomeOtherActivity.class.
Notification channels allow you to create a user-customizable channel for each type of notification you want to display. So, if the android version is greater or equals to 8.0, we have to create the NotificationChannel object and set it to createNotificationChannel(…) setter property of NotificationManager.
public class NotificationHelper {
private Context mContext;
private NotificationManager mNotificationManager;
private NotificationCompat.Builder mBuilder;
public static final String NOTIFICATION_CHANNEL_ID = "10001";
public NotificationHelper(Context context) {
mContext = context;
}
/**
* Create and push the notification
*/
public void createNotification(String title, String message)
{
/**Creates an explicit intent for an Activity in your app**/
Intent resultIntent = new Intent(mContext , SomeOtherActivity.class);
resultIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
PendingIntent resultPendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(mContext,
0 /* Request code */, resultIntent,
PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
mBuilder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(mContext);
mBuilder.setSmallIcon(R.mipmap.ic_launcher);
mBuilder.setContentTitle(title)
.setContentText(message)
.setAutoCancel(false)
.setSound(Settings.System.DEFAULT_NOTIFICATION_URI)
.setContentIntent(resultPendingIntent);
mNotificationManager = (NotificationManager) mContext.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.O)
{
int importance = NotificationManager.IMPORTANCE_HIGH;
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});
assert mNotificationManager != null;
mBuilder.setChannelId(NOTIFICATION_CHANNEL_ID);
mNotificationManager.createNotificationChannel(notificationChannel);
}
assert mNotificationManager != null;
mNotificationManager.notify(0 /* Request Code */, mBuilder.build());
}
Just include a NotificationChannel and set a channel id to it.

Oreo Notification Bar Round Icon

I want to know that how can I change the notification bar small icon in android Oreo (API 26). It has round white icon showing in the notification bar. How can I change it? Manifest file default notification icon set as below.
<meta-data
android:name="com.google.firebase.messaging.default_notification_icon"
android:resource="#drawable/ic_status" />
See the image below

There is a bug in Firebase SDK 11.8.0 on Android 8.0 (API 26), which causes the display of a white version of the app's launcher icon in the status bar instead of the notification icon.
Some people have fixed it by overriding the Application class's getResources() method.
Another way that worked for me was to use an HTTP POST request to send the notification as a data message:
https://fcm.googleapis.com/fcm/send
Content-Type:application/json
Authorization:key=AIzaSyZ-1u...0GBYzPu7Udno5aA
{
"to": "/topics/test",
"data": {
"title": "Update",
"body": "New feature available"
}
}
And then subclass FirebaseMessagingService to display the notification programmatically:
public class MyFirebaseMessagingService extends FirebaseMessagingService {
#Override
public void onMessageReceived(RemoteMessage remoteMessage) {
Intent i = new Intent(context, HomeActivity.class);
PendingIntent pi = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, i,
PendingIntent.FLAG_ONE_SHOT);
NotificationCompat.Builder builder =
new NotificationCompat.Builder(this, GENERAL_CHANNEL_ID)
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_stat_chameleon)
.setContentTitle(remoteMessage.getData().get("title"))
.setContentText(remoteMessage.getData().get("body"))
.setContentIntent(pi);
NotificationManager manager =
(NotificationManager) getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
manager.notify(0, builder.build());
}
}
In the end, I got this, even on Android 8.0:

Remove <meta-data> tag from AndroidManifest.xml.
Notification Builder has .setSmallIcon(int icon, int level) which accepts icon as a compulsory argument & level parameter as an optional argument.
NOTE: .setSmallIcon accepts drawables & DOES NOT accept mipmaps.
This is how it should be according to Android 8.0 Oreo Notification Channels & behaviour changes:
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
private CharSequence name;
private int notifyId;
private int importance;
private String id;
private String description;
private Notification mNotification;
private NotificationManager mNotificationManager;
private NotificationChannel mChannel;
private PendingIntent mPendingIntent;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
ActivityMainBinding binding = DataBindingUtil.setContentView(this, R.layout.activity_main);
binding.btnNotification.setOnClickListener(v -> notification());
}
private void notification() {
mNotificationManager = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
notifyId = 1;
description = "Hello World, welcome to Android Oreo!";
Intent intent = new Intent(this, MainActivity.class);
mPendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, notifyId, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
if (SDK_INT >= O) {
id = "id";
name = "a";
importance = NotificationManager.IMPORTANCE_HIGH;
mChannel = new NotificationChannel(id, name, importance);
mChannel.setDescription(description);
mChannel.enableLights(true);
mChannel.setLightColor(Color.WHITE);
mChannel.enableVibration(true);
mChannel.setVibrationPattern(new long[] {100, 300, 200, 300});
mNotificationManager.createNotificationChannel(mChannel);
mNotification = new Notification.Builder(MainActivity.this, id)
.setContentTitle(id)
.setContentText(description)
.setContentIntent(mPendingIntent)
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher_foreground)
.build();
} else {
mNotification = new Notification.Builder(MainActivity.this)
.setContentTitle(id)
.setContentText(description)
.setContentIntent(mPendingIntent)
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher_foreground)
.setLights(Color.WHITE, Color.RED, Color.GREEN)
.setVibrate(new long[] {100, 300, 200, 300})
.build();
}
mNotificationManager.notify(notifyId, mNotification);
}
}
