From https://material.io/guidelines/patterns/notifications.html#notifications-behavior , I really we are able to notify user, without showing a notification peek.
I would like to show a flashing liked icon, in status bar, without pop up notification peek. (If you watch the first video under section From https://material.io/guidelines/patterns/notifications.html#notifications-behavior , you can see the flashing in status bar)
Flashing icon in status bar
However, I'm not entirely sure how to achieve that. Whenever I notify user, there will be a notification popup peek.
Notification popup peek
My code is as follow
NotificationCompat.Builder mBuilder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(context.getApplicationContext(), org.yccheok.notification.Utils.createNotificationChannel())
.setContentIntent(pendingIntent)
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_notification)
.setContentTitle(contentTitle)
.setTicker(ticker)
.setColorized(true)
.setColor(context.getResources().getColor(R.color.accent_material_light))
.setContentText(contentText);
mBuilder.setSound(Uri.parse(getStockAlertSound()));
mBuilder.setDefaults(Notification.DEFAULT_LIGHTS | Notification.DEFAULT_VIBRATE);
mBuilder.setAutoCancel(true);
// Need BIG view?
NotificationCompat.InboxStyle inboxStyle = new NotificationCompat.InboxStyle();
// Sets a title for the Inbox style big view
inboxStyle.setBigContentTitle(contentTitle);
inboxStyle.setSummaryText(summaryText);
for (SpannableString notificationMessage : notificationMessages) {
inboxStyle.addLine(notificationMessage);
}
mBuilder.setStyle(inboxStyle);
mNotificationManager.notify(NOTIFICATION_ID, mBuilder.build());
I was wondering, when my app is in foreground, how can I avoid notification popup peek, but only show a flashing icon in status bar.
.setPriority(NotificationManager.IMPORTANCE_LOW)

My group notifications are working fine, however, I noticed that after a couple of hours (When not using the device for a while) when a new notification comes, the message content disappears when the notification is expanded, that is, setStyle(new NotificationCompat.BigTextStyle().bigText()) text disappears. I know it is not a request code issue, as all request code are unique and I am able to reply to the notifications as normal.
One thing to note, after the notification disappears, the next notification that comes, if the device is active (not necessarily the app), that notification will display its normal text when expanded. This seems to occur only when the device AND/OR App is not in use for a while. Is this an android system problem?
Below is picture snap shot to describe the behavior:
First notification
Second notification comes in.
Expanding both notifications, as you can see all of the messages for both of them disappears.
Code: Note that I only send summary notification once.
// Normal notification
int uniqueRequestCode = RandomUser.getUniqueRequestCode();
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(
this, uniqueRequestCode, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
Notificatio notification = new NotificationCompat.Builder(getApplicationContext(), MESSAGE_CHANNEL_ID)
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ne1_white_logo_crop)
.setContentTitle(title)
.setContentText(body)
.setStyle(new NotificationCompat.BigTextStyle().bigText(body))
.setPriority(NotificationCompat.PRIORITY_DEFAULT)
// Set the intent that will fire when the user taps the notification
.setContentIntent(pendingIntent)
.addAction(action)
.setGroup(GROUP_KEY_MESSAGE)
//.setGroupAlertBehavior(groupAlert)
.setColor(Color.BLACK)
.setAutoCancel(true)
.build();
// Summary notification
uniqueRequestCode = RandomUser.getUniqueRequestCode();
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(
this, uniqueRequestCode, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
Notification summaryNotification = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this, MESSAGE_CHANNEL_ID)
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ne1_white_logo_crop)
// Specify which group this notification belongs to
.setGroup(GROUP_KEY_MESSAGE)
// Set this notification as the summary for the group
.setGroupSummary(true)
.setContentIntent(pendingIntent)
.build();
According to this stack overflow answer, Android by default only allows one notification to be expanded.
What I have been using now which is sufficient, and preserves expanding notification is .setStyle(new Notification.MessagingStyle.... I highly advise using MessagingStyle for situations where you want multiple notifications in a group to be expanded. As for BigTextStyle().bigText(), I am not sure of the proper procedure, so I have abandoned it.
I want to show the notification in the background. Means, while user opening the notification screen.
But its coming on the top of my app screen. I don't want to show at the top of the my app.
I want to show only in the notification bar.
Can someone suggest, what is the property that I have to set.
Make sure your activity is not full screen.
Set low priority to your notification
NotificationCompat.Builder mBuilder.setContentTitle(fileName)
.setContentText("Notification")
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.icon)
.setPriority(NotificationCompat.PRIORITY_LOW)
.setAutoCancel(true)
.setContentIntent(pendingIntent);
and low importance to your notification channel
NotificationChannel channel = new NotificationChannel(CHANNEL_ID, name, IMPORTANCE_LOW);
I have a notification which I always want to stay on top.
I have already given it a priority of 2
Mostly it stays on top but, suppose there is a open WiFi network, then my notification goes down and the notification of open WiFi network comes on the top position.
But when I looked at the notification of vlc(for Android) paying a song, the notification of vlc stay on top and the notification of open WiFi network goes down.
I notification is ongoing and with priority 2.
What should I do. I am a beginner so please bear with me.
And thanks in advance.
have you tried this
NotificationCompat.Builder builder =
(NotificationCompat.Builder) new NotificationCompat.Builder(context)
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.notify_icon)
.setContentTitle("Notification")
.setContentText("ON Top")
.setPriority(Notification.PRIORITY_MAX);
Priority Levels --> PRIORITY_MAX / PRIORITY_HIGH /PRIORITY_DEFAULT /PRIORITY_LOW /PRIORITY_MIN

Android: How to create an "Ongoing" notification?
I think you can refer to this code:
Intent push = new Intent();
push.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
push.setClass(this, NotificationDemo.class);
PendingIntent pi = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, push, PendingIntent.FLAG_CANCEL_CURRENT);
NotificationManager nm=(NotificationManager)this.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
Notification updateNotification = new Notification.Builder(this)
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_face_black_24dp)
.setLargeIcon(BitmapFactory.decodeResource(this.getResources(), R.mipmap.ic_launcher))
.setContentTitle("Priority Max Notification Title")
.setContentText("Priority Max Notification Message")
.setAutoCancel(false)
.setDefaults(Notification.DEFAULT_SOUND)
.setPriority(Notification.PRIORITY_MAX)
.setFullScreenIntent(pi,true)
.build();
nm.notify("priorityMaxTest",2,updateNotification);
I am trying to create a simple notification. With this code, the notification appears as an icon in the notification area, and when I open up the notification drawer it is there...
NotificationCompat.Builder mBuilder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this);
mBuilder.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.midday);
mBuilder.setContentTitle("Midday");
mBuilder.setContentText("Now it is midday");
NotificationManager mNotificationManager = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
mNotificationManager.notify(NOTIFICATION_ID, mBuilder.build());
I want this notification content to actually show on the top of the screen, not just that the little icon appear on the top bar.
Like this,
I tried searching for this and found that...
mBuilder.setPriority(NotificationCompat.PRIORITY_HIGH);
should help. But it didn't show the notification, only the little icon appears.
If you can help, that would be great.
This is the answer:
Its called a Heads-up Notifications.
This should be enough:
mBuilder.setPriority(NotificationCompat.PRIORITY_HIGH);
However, I have to add this line:
mBuilder.setDefaults(Notification.DEFAULT_VIBRATE);
Hopefully google will fix this
I'm using local notification like clock alarm with buttons to control it. My problem is that the Notification view isn't wrapping my content. So after searching around I found out that there is a workaround to achieve this by setting the view after build.
Something like this:
Notification notification = mBuilder.build();
// add remote view after build for getting bigger notification size
notification.bigContentView = remoteViews;
This work unless the notification is not first and when it is not the top notification the buttons is not shown.
How can I make the notification wrap_content even when it is not the top on the list of notifications?
Set the priority Max for notification for showing big content view like below
new Notification.Builder(this)
.setContentTitle("Media Player")
.setContentIntent(mPendingIntentHomeSong)
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.app_icon)
.setPriority(Notification.PRIORITY_MAX)
.setContent(mNotificationContentView)
.setStyle(new Notification.BigPictureStyle()).build();
