Android Notification duration

Is there a way to make android notification stay on screen for over 4 seconds.
For example:
Phone App has notification for incoming call, when this notification shows up (Incoming call) it does not leave the screen until the user is interacting with the notification (Accept call / deny call / go to phone app). However I have not seen a way to make notification last on screen (foreground) for over 4 seconds. Even when i am setting the FLAG_INSISTENT and FLAG_NO_CLEAR the notification last visible on screen for 4 - 5 seconds...
FLAG_INSISTENT - keeps beeping and vibrate on high priority notification but still the notification is going off the screen after 4 seconds and the user need to drag bar down in order to "see" the notification.
I am looking for a way to put a notification the same way that the phone app is doing it meaning keep the notification ON SCREEN until the user interacts with it.
Here is an example of main activity:
My MainActivity.java:
import androidx.annotation.RequiresApi;
import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity;
import androidx.core.app.NotificationCompat;
import androidx.core.app.NotificationManagerCompat;
import android.app.Notification;
import android.app.NotificationChannel;
import android.app.NotificationManager;
import android.app.PendingIntent;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.graphics.Color;
import android.os.Build;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
private NotificationManagerCompat notificationManager;
#RequiresApi(api = Build.VERSION_CODES.O)
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
notificationManager = NotificationManagerCompat.from(this);
Intent YesReceive = new Intent(this, com.eddieharari.notifi.Data.class);
YesReceive.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP
| Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP);
PendingIntent pendingIntentYes = PendingIntent.getActivity(this,12345, YesReceive,
0);
Notification notification = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this, App.CHANNEL_1_ID)
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher_background)
.setContentTitle("My Notify TITLE")
.setContentText("This is my notification Message")
.setPriority(NotificationManagerCompat.IMPORTANCE_HIGH)
.setCategory(NotificationCompat.CATEGORY_MESSAGE)
.setOngoing(false)
.setAutoCancel(true)
.setContentIntent(pendingIntentYes)
.setPriority(Notification.PRIORITY_MAX)
.build();
notification.flags = notification.flags | Notification.FLAG_INSISTENT | Notification.FLAG_NO_CLEAR;
notificationManager.notify(1, notification);
}
}
My App.java (where i set Notification Channel)
import android.app.Application;
import android.app.NotificationChannel;
import android.app.NotificationManager;
import android.os.Build;
public class App extends Application {
public static final String CHANNEL_1_ID = "channel1";
#Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
createNotificationChannels();
}
private void createNotificationChannels(){
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.O) {
NotificationChannel channel1 = new NotificationChannel(CHANNEL_1_ID, "Channel 1", NotificationManager.IMPORTANCE_HIGH);
channel1.setDescription("This is channel 1");
NotificationManager manager = getSystemService(NotificationManager.class);
manager.createNotificationChannel(channel1);
}
}
}

I FOUND OUT THE FOLLOWING:
Fullscreen intent inside the notification with high priority = true (second argument for the intent) leaves the notification on top of the screen till user interaction !
When using FullScreen intents don't forget to ask for fullScreenIntent permissions within the manifest....

exported app (android) doesnt have the whole functions

When I install the app directly from android studio onto my phone per usb everything works well. I am working with push notifications that work with this method. But when I export my app in android studio and get the apk file and then install it per this apk file onto my phone everything works but not the notification??
Do you understand what I mean?
I can play my app per android studio directly onto my phone and it works 100% well ( I also get the expected push notifications).
After the export I get an apk file. I install this apk file manually and I get my app which looks great at first, only the notifications dont come although they come when I install it per android studio directly.
What am I doing wrong? Isnt the apk file the right file? Maybe I need another file? The code must be good because everything is fine when pushing play in android studio.
EDIT: Here is my code for the notifications:
import android.app.Notification;
import android.app.NotificationChannel;
import android.app.NotificationManager;
import android.app.PendingIntent;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.ContextWrapper;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.graphics.Color;
import android.os.Build;
import androidx.annotation.RequiresApi;
import androidx.core.app.NotificationCompat;
import androidx.core.app.NotificationManagerCompat;
import java.util.Random;
public class NotificationHelper extends ContextWrapper {
private static final String TAG = "NotificationHelper";
public NotificationHelper(Context base) {
super(base);
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.O) {
createChannels();
}
}
private String CHANNEL_NAME = "High priority channel";
private String CHANNEL_ID = "com.example.notifications" + CHANNEL_NAME;
#RequiresApi(api = Build.VERSION_CODES.O)
private void createChannels() {
NotificationChannel notificationChannel = new NotificationChannel(CHANNEL_ID, CHANNEL_NAME, NotificationManager.IMPORTANCE_HIGH);
notificationChannel.enableLights(true);
notificationChannel.enableVibration(true);
notificationChannel.setDescription("this is the description of the channel.");
notificationChannel.setLightColor(Color.RED);
notificationChannel.setLockscreenVisibility(Notification.VISIBILITY_PUBLIC);
NotificationManager manager = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
manager.createNotificationChannel(notificationChannel);
}
public void sendHighPriorityNotification(String title, String body, Class activityName) {
Intent intent = new Intent(this, activityName);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 267, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
Notification notification = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this, CHANNEL_ID)
// .setContentTitle(title)
// .setContentText(body)
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher_background)
.setPriority(NotificationCompat.PRIORITY_HIGH)
.setStyle(new NotificationCompat.BigTextStyle().setSummaryText("summary").setBigContentTitle(title).bigText(body))
.setContentIntent(pendingIntent)
.setAutoCancel(true)
.build();
NotificationManagerCompat.from(this).notify(new Random().nextInt(), notification);
}
}
And here is my code where I call the notification:
package com.example.geofencing1;
import android.content.BroadcastReceiver;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.location.Location;
import android.util.Log;
import android.widget.Toast;
import com.google.android.gms.location.Geofence;
import com.google.android.gms.location.GeofencingEvent;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.model.LatLng;
import java.util.List;
public class GeofenceBroadcastReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
private static final String TAG = "GeofenceBroadcastReceiv";
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
// TODO: This method is called when the BroadcastReceiver is receiving
// an Intent broadcast.
// Toast.makeText(context, "Geofence triggered...", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
NotificationHelper notificationHelper = new NotificationHelper(context);
GeofencingEvent geofencingEvent = GeofencingEvent.fromIntent(intent);
if (geofencingEvent.hasError()){
Log.d(TAG, "onReceive: Error receiving geofence event...");
return;
}
List<Geofence> geofenceList = geofencingEvent.getTriggeringGeofences();
for (Geofence geofence: geofenceList) {
Log.d(TAG, "onReceive: " + geofence.getRequestId());
}
// Location location = geofencingEvent.getTriggeringLocation();
int transitionType = geofencingEvent.getGeofenceTransition();
switch (transitionType) {
case Geofence.GEOFENCE_TRANSITION_ENTER:
Toast.makeText(context, "GEOFENCE_TRANSITION_ENTER", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
notificationHelper.sendHighPriorityNotification("GEOFENCE_TRANSITION_ENTER", "", MapsActivity.class);
break;
case Geofence.GEOFENCE_TRANSITION_DWELL:
Toast.makeText(context, "GEOFENCE_TRANSITION_DWELL", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
notificationHelper.sendHighPriorityNotification("GEOFENCE_TRANSITION_DWELL", "", MapsActivity.class);
break;
case Geofence.GEOFENCE_TRANSITION_EXIT:
Toast.makeText(context, "GEOFENCE_TRANSITION_EXIT", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
notificationHelper.sendHighPriorityNotification("GEOFENCE_TRANSITION_EXIT", "", MapsActivity.class);
break;
}
}
}

Notification sound is not created when phone is locked

I'm developing a chat application and I am using Firebase Cloud Messaging. Notification works properly. When the phone is locked, the notification is received properly, but the sound is not generated.
Any help is appreciated.

Go to FCM CONSOLE and enable sound and define key 'sound'==>'default';
and go to php cansole and and type Following code 'sound'==>'default'; thats work properly

Java Android FirebaseMessagingService: onMessageReceived not called at all

I have a problem with my FirebaseMessagingService java class. When I send a notification from the Firebase console the onMessageReceived function isn't called at all. But I know I successfully sent the notification, here is my code:
package com.nufdev.firelink.other;
import android.app.NotificationManager;
import android.app.PendingIntent;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.media.RingtoneManager;
import android.net.Uri;
import android.support.v4.app.NotificationCompat;
import android.util.Log;
import com.google.firebase.messaging.FirebaseMessagingService;
import com.google.firebase.messaging.RemoteMessage;
import com.nufdev.firelink.MainActivity;
import com.nufdev.firelink.R;
public class MyFirebaseMessagingService extends FirebaseMessagingService {
private static final String TAG = "MyFirebaseMsgService";
/**
* Called when message is received.
*
* #param remoteMessage Object representing the message received from Firebase Cloud Messaging.
*/
// [START receive_message]
#Override
public void onMessageReceived(RemoteMessage remoteMessage) {
Log.d(TAG, "From: " + remoteMessage.getFrom());
// Check if message contains a data payload.
if (remoteMessage.getData().size() > 0) {
Log.d(TAG, "Message data payload: " + remoteMessage.getData());
}
// Check if message contains a notification payload.
if (remoteMessage.getNotification() != null) {
Log.d(TAG, "Message Notification Body: " + remoteMessage.getNotification().getBody());
sendNotification(remoteMessage.getNotification().getBody());
}
// Also if you intend on generating your own notifications as a result of a received FCM
// message, here is where that should be initiated. See sendNotification method below.
}
// [END receive_message]
/**
* Create and show a simple notification containing the received FCM message.
*
* #param messageBody FCM message body received.
*/
private void sendNotification(String messageBody) {
Intent intent = new Intent(this, MainActivity.class);
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0 /* Request code */, intent,
PendingIntent.FLAG_ONE_SHOT);
Uri defaultSoundUri = RingtoneManager.getDefaultUri(RingtoneManager.TYPE_NOTIFICATION);
NotificationCompat.Builder notificationBuilder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this)
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.icon_send)
.setContentTitle("FCM Message")
.setContentText(messageBody)
.setAutoCancel(true)
.setSound(defaultSoundUri)
.setContentIntent(pendingIntent);
NotificationManager notificationManager =
(NotificationManager) getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
notificationManager.notify(0 /* ID of notification */, notificationBuilder.build());
}
#Override
protected Intent zzaa(Intent intent) {
Log.v(TAG, "ZZZA?");
return null;
}
}
Whenever I send a notification from the Firebase console I only get in the console: ZZAA? because of this :
#Override
protected Intent zzaa(Intent intent) {
Log.v(TAG, "ZZZA?");
return null;
}
I have no idea what zzaa means and can't find it on Google.
So if you could help me that would be awesome. :D

Maybe you forgot to add this to the manifest (taken from the guide)
<service
android:name=".MyFirebaseMessagingService">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="com.google.firebase.MESSAGING_EVENT"/>
</intent-filter>
</service>

It seems FCM has two type of notification messages. FCM console always sends "notification message", which triggers onMessageReceived only if app is foreground.
More details about the concept: https://firebase.google.com/docs/cloud-messaging/concept-options
Explanation in FCM quick start sample code:
// [START receive_message]
#Override
public void onMessageReceived(RemoteMessage remoteMessage) {
// [START_EXCLUDE]
// There are two types of messages data messages and notification messages. Data messages are handled
// here in onMessageReceived whether the app is in the foreground or background. Data messages are the type
// traditionally used with GCM. Notification messages are only received here in onMessageReceived when the app
// is in the foreground. When the app is in the background an automatically generated notification is displayed.
// When the user taps on the notification they are returned to the app. Messages containing both notification
// and data payloads are treated as notification messages. The Firebase console always sends notification
// messages. For more see: https://firebase.google.com/docs/cloud-messaging/concept-options
// [END_EXCLUDE]
// TODO(developer): Handle FCM messages here.
// Not getting messages here? See why this may be: https://firebase.google.com/support/faq/#fcm-android-background
Log.d(TAG, "From: " + remoteMessage.getFrom());

Android Push Notification Message Cut off

Hi im working on a project that uses push notifications to push out information in a text format. Only when i receive the push notification the text is cut off and replaced with "..."
Im using the NotificationCompaq builder to build my notifications when the app receives the information from the receiver.
Here is my GCMBroadcastReceiver Im pretty sure the issue is in the Builder but Im not sure what i need to do to fix it.
import utilities.CommonUtilities;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.app.NotificationManager;
import android.app.PendingIntent;
import android.content.BroadcastReceiver;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.support.v4.app.NotificationCompat;
import android.util.Log;
import android.widget.Toast;
import com.google.android.gms.gcm.GoogleCloudMessaging;
/**
* Handles the incoming messages from the server.
*
*/
public class GCMBroadcastReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
static final String TAG = "GCMDemo";
public static final int NOTIFICATION_ID = 1;
private NotificationManager mNotificationManager;
NotificationCompat.Builder builder;
Context ctx;
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
GoogleCloudMessaging gcm = GoogleCloudMessaging.getInstance(context);
ctx = context;
String messageType = gcm.getMessageType(intent);
String message = intent.getExtras().getString("price");
if (GoogleCloudMessaging.MESSAGE_TYPE_SEND_ERROR.equals(messageType)) {
sendNotification("Send error: " + intent.getExtras().toString());
} else if (GoogleCloudMessaging.MESSAGE_TYPE_DELETED.equals(messageType)) {
sendNotification("Deleted messages on server: " +
intent.getExtras().toString());
} else {
sendNotification(message);
}
setResultCode(Activity.RESULT_OK);
}
// Put the GCM message into a notification and post it.
private void sendNotification(String msg) {
mNotificationManager = (NotificationManager)
ctx.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
PendingIntent contentIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(ctx, 0,
new Intent(ctx, MainActivity.class), 0);
NotificationCompat.Builder mBuilder =
new NotificationCompat.Builder(ctx)
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.icon)
.setContentTitle(CommonUtilities.pushTitle)
.setStyle(new NotificationCompat.BigTextStyle())
.setContentText(msg)
.setLights(0xff00ff00, 300, 1000)
.setVibrate(CommonUtilities.pattern);
Log.d(TAG, "Notification built " + mBuilder.toString());
mBuilder.setContentIntent(contentIntent);
mNotificationManager.notify(NOTIFICATION_ID, mBuilder.build());
Toast.makeText(ctx, "New Message: " + msg, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated thanks.
Edit
Ive checked the Message received from the GCM before my app builds the notification and i am receiving the full message there is nothing being cut off during the receiving of the message so it is definitely something to do with the Notification builder. I Just cannot seem to figure out whats causing it to do that.
