android: stop notification from vibrating

Hello i am building a notification with
NotificationCompat.Builder notificationBuilder = (NotificationCompat.Builder) new NotificationCompat.Builder(this, "default")
.setShowWhen(false)
.setStyle(new android.support.v4.media.app.NotificationCompat.MediaStyle()
.setMediaSession(mediaSession.getSessionToken())
.setShowActionsInCompactView(0, 1, 2))
.setColor(getResources().getColor(R.color.colorPrimary))
.setSmallIcon(android.R.drawable.stat_sys_headset)
.setContentText(activeAudio.getArtist())
.setContentTitle(activeAudio.getAlbum())
.setContentInfo(activeAudio.getTitle())
.addAction(android.R.drawable.ic_media_previous, "previous", playbackAction(3))
.addAction(notificationAction, "pause", play_pauseAction)
.addAction(android.R.drawable.ic_media_next, "next", playbackAction(2));
((NotificationManager) getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE)).notify(NOTIFICATION_ID, notificationBuilder.build());
and i don't want the phone to vibrate whenever it's created. I've tried
.setVibrate(null)
.setVibrate(new Long[]{0l})
.setDefaults(Notification.DEFAULT_SOUND)
in all combinations, but with no effect. Any Ideas?

You must uninstall the application and reinstall
Because it saves the settings from the first session
As presented in this responsum
For Android 8 or higher
try it
mNotificationChannel.setVibrationPattern(new long[]{ 0 });
mNotificationChannel.enableVibration(true);

BigTextStyle notifications not expanding from FirebaseMessagingService

I wrote the below method for showing FCM notification on my android 5.1 device. When I run the code inside a FirebaseMessagingService it is just giving single line notification , where if I run the same code inside my Activity its giving expandable notifications.
I basically need my long FCM text notifications to get expanded on notifications rather than showing partial notification text.
Any leads?
private void showNotif(String messageBody){
Intent intent = new Intent(this, MainActivity.class);
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_ONE_SHOT);
// Constructs the Builder object.
NotificationCompat.Builder mBuilder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(getApplicationContext())
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher)
.setContentTitle(getString(R.string.app_name))
.setContentText(messageBody)
.setDefaults(Notification.DEFAULT_ALL) // requires VIBRATE permission
.setAutoCancel(true)
.setContentIntent(pendingIntent)
/*
* Sets the big view "big text" style and supplies the
* text (the user's reminder message) that will be displayed
* in the detail area of the expanded notification.
* These calls are ignored by the support library for
* pre-4.1 devices.
*/
.setStyle(new NotificationCompat.BigTextStyle()
.bigText(messageBody));
// android.support.v4.app.NotificationManagerCompat mNotifManager = (NotificationManagerCompat) getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
NotificationManager mNotificationManager =
(NotificationManager) getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
// mId allows you to update the notification later on.
mNotificationManager.notify(0, mBuilder.build());
}

This should work .
Big Text notifcations are shown in normal mode when there are other notifications on top . Try to expand it while testing.

You need to creare notification using this method https://fcm.googleapis.com/fcm/send and not using firebase console and all would be ok

Android notification icon colour sometimes white, sometimes colourful

I have a small problem with my Android app. It received notifications through FCM and shows them as push notification. So far it is all working, but the strange problem is, sometimes the icon is white and sometimes it is colourful.
When the app is open on the screen and I receive a push notification in this moment, the colourful push notification is shown on top of the screen.
When the app is closed, I get a push notification with a white icon.
I have attached a screenhot:
Screenshot
Here is the code snippet, where the push notification is created:
Notification.Builder notificationBuilder = new Notification.Builder(this)
.setSmallIcon(android.R.drawable.ic_dialog_alert)
.setLargeIcon(BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.ic_launcher))
.setAutoCancel(true)
.setVisibility(Notification.VISIBILITY_PUBLIC)
.setPriority(Notification.PRIORITY_HIGH)
.setColor(Color.parseColor("#83c3ed"))
.setLights(Color.RED, 1000, 500)
.setSound(defaultSoundUri)
.setContentIntent(pendingIntent);
Notification.InboxStyle inboxStyle = new Notification.InboxStyle();
inboxStyle.setBigContentTitle("WetterApp");
inboxStyle.addLine(notification.getTitle());
inboxStyle.addLine(notification.getBody());
notificationBuilder.setStyle(inboxStyle);
NotificationManager notificationManager =
(NotificationManager) getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
notificationManager.notify(0, notificationBuilder.build());
My mobile device has Android 6.0.1, my SDK-version is 23.
Thanks for your help.

Well, I think the problem was something different. My code for creation the notification is only called, when the app is open on screen. When I receive a notification and the app is closed, the notification is handled by the Android system automaticly.
I had to set the color in the notification, which is send to the FCM Server:
$data = [
'notification' => [
'title' => 'Warnung: Wohnzimmer',
'text' => 'Innen: 20,3°C Außen: 24,5°C, Tendenz: -0,2°C',
'color' => '#83c3ed',
'sound' => 'default'
],
'to' => '/topics/testNotification'
];
Now I get a lightblue background icon within the app and also when the app is closed.

Follow the guide of google to create your icons, it's probably that it is occurring in the status bar too.
Then, try this:
NotificationCompat.Builder builder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(context);
builder.setTicker(context.getResources().getString(R.string.app_name));
builder.setSmallIcon(R.mipmap.ic_your_status_bar_logo);
builder.setAutoCancel(true);
builder.setVisibility(NotificationCompat.VISIBILITY_PUBLIC);
builder.setContentIntent(pendingIntent);
builder.setContentTitle(
context.getResources().getString(R.string.app_name));
builder.setContentText(message);
builder.setDefaults(Notification.DEFAULT_SOUND);
builder.setPriority(NotificationCompat.PRIORITY_HIGH);
builder.setColor(ContextCompat.getColor(context, R.color.color_primary));
NotificationManager nm = (NotificationManager) context.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
nm.notify(NOTIFICATION_ID, builder.build());

I think that a better solution is to add a silhouette icon to the app and use it if the device is running Android Lollipop.
For instance:
Notification notification = new Notification.Builder(context)
.setAutoCancel(true)
.setContentTitle("My notification")
.setContentText("Look, white in Lollipop, else color!")
.setSmallIcon(getNotificationIcon())
.build();
return notification;
And, in the getNotificationIcon method:
private int getNotificationIcon() {
boolean useWhiteIcon = (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP);
return useWhiteIcon ? R.drawable.icon_silhouette : R.drawable.ic_launcher;
}

android gcm push notification playing only sound, not displaying at top

On receiving a message from GCM, I'm generating a notification
/**
* Create and show a simple notification containing the received GCM message.
*
* #param message GCM message received.
*/
private void sendNotification(String message) {
Intent intent = new Intent(this, MyActivity.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.ic_action_chat)
.setContentTitle("GCM Message")
.setContentText(message)
.setAutoCancel(true)
.setSound(defaultSoundUri)
.setContentIntent(pendingIntent);
NotificationManager notificationManager =
(NotificationManager) getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
notificationManager.notify(0 /* ID of notification */, notificationBuilder.build());
}
The notification is generated, the sound gets played, but it does not get shown at top of screen. The notification is displayed in the quick settings/notifications drop down menu, but at the time when I generate it, it is not displayed at the top of screen, only sound is played.
I want to display it at top of screen when I generate it. How can I do it?

it's a headsup notification works from android lollipop here you check how to show notification you can see here http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/notifiers/notifications.html and for headsup you have to set notification priority as below
.setPriority(Notification.PRIORITY_HIGH)
EDIT Nov-17
Notification.PRIORITY_HIGH was deprecated in API level 26. use IMPORTANCE_HIGH instead.

In my case, I had to do
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.my_icon)

Android Wear notification showing minimized

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, the notification is the way I like it but I cannot get it to make the watch vibrate, and it shows as minimized. the effect I want to achieve should look like hangouts notification, which vibrate and go fullscreen. here is the code I'm using (on the watch):
Intent actionIntent = new Intent(this, ConvActivity.class);
actionIntent.putExtra("num",num);
PendingIntent actionPendingIntent =
PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, actionIntent,
PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
// Create the action
NotificationCompat.Action action =
new NotificationCompat.Action.Builder(R.drawable.ic_launcher,"Reply"
, actionPendingIntent)
.build();
NotificationCompat.BigTextStyle bigStyle = new NotificationCompat.BigTextStyle();
bigStyle.bigText(body).setBigContentTitle(name);
NotificationCompat.Builder notificationBuilder =
new NotificationCompat.Builder(this)
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher)
.setContentTitle(name)
.setContentText(body)
//.setContentIntent(viewPendingIntent)
//.addAction(R.drawable.ic_map,
// getString(R.string.map), mapPendingIntent)
.setStyle(bigStyle).setAutoCancel(true)
.addAction(R.drawable.ic_launcher,"Reply"
, actionPendingIntent);
if(pic != null)
notificationBuilder.setLargeIcon(BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(pic,0,pic.length));
//.extend(new NotificationCompat.WearableExtender().addAction(action)) ;
// Get an instance of the NotificationManager service
NotificationManagerCompat notificationManager =
NotificationManagerCompat.from(this);
// Issue the notification with notification manager.
notificationManager.notify(0, notificationBuilder.build());

Only notifications that vibrate/sound will vibrate an Android Wear device and show more text.
You should consider using the NotificationCompat.Builder.setDefaults() method:
// Light, sound, and vibrate
builder.setDefaults(Notification.DEFAULT_ALL);
// Just sound
builder.setDefaults(Notification.DEFAULT_SOUND);
// Just vibrate
builder.setDefaults(Notification.DEFAULT_VIBRATE);
