I send couple notifications to the user and I use different notification ID for creating and notifying them and only one icon appears for all notifications. Everything is perfect. However when I swipe status bar to see notifications, it shows separated notifications.
As you see in the image I have two separated notifications, while I like to show them like telegram does (2 new messages). Does Android have something for that or I have to use a check previous notified messages and count unread notifications and show it as ContentText.
This is my code:
private final String GROUP_HEALTH = "HEALTH";
Random random = new Random();
int randInt = random.nextInt(9999 - 1000) + 1000;
int mNotificationId = randInt;
PendingIntent resultPendingIntent =
PendingIntent.getActivity(
mContext, 0,intent,
PendingIntent.FLAG_CANCEL_CURRENT
);
NotificationCompat.Builder mBuilder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(mContext);
mBuilder.setAutoCancel(true)
.setDefaults(Notification.DEFAULT_ALL)
.setWhen(System.currentTimeMillis())
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher)
.setTicker(mContext.getString(R.string.app_name))
.setContentTitle(title)
.setContentText(message)
.setContentIntent(resultPendingIntent)
.setGroup(GROUP_HEALTH)
.setContentInfo(notifType);
NotificationManager notificationManager = (NotificationManager) mContext.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
notificationManager.notify(mNotificationId, mBuilder.build());
i guess every time this code runs, it generates random ID for every notification, use constant ID.
int mNotificationId = 1;
And yes, you should check for unread messages, and show that count by yourself.

here is my code for notification. it generate a new notification each time
Random random = new Random();
int m = random.nextInt(9999 - 1000);
NotificationCompat.Builder mBuilder =new NotificationCompat.Builder(context)
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.quemark1)
.setContentTitle("New Message")
.setContentText(message)
Intent intent = new Intent(this, ActivityMain.class);
TaskStackBuilder stackBuilder = TaskStackBuilder.create(context);
stackBuilder.addParentStack(ActivityMain.class);
stackBuilder.addNextIntent(intent);
PendingIntent resultPendingIntent = stackBuilder.getPendingIntent(0, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
mBuilder.setContentIntent(resultPendingIntent);
NotificationManager mNotificationManager = (NotificationManager) context.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
mBuilder.setDefaults(Notification.DEFAULT_SOUND | Notification.DEFAULT_VIBRATE);
mBuilder.setAutoCancel(true);
mNotificationManager.notify(m, mBuilder.build());
here is the output of my code
It will generate notification with multiple messages like Gmail
NotificationCompat.Builder mBuilder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this)
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.quemark1)
.setContentTitle("Title")
.setContentText("New Message received");
NotificationCompat.InboxStyle inboxStyle =
new NotificationCompat.InboxStyle();
inboxStyle.setBigContentTitle("doUdo");
// Add your All messages here or use Loop to generate messages
inboxStyle.addLine("Messgare 1");
inboxStyle.addLine("Messgare 2");
.
.
inboxStyle.addLine("Messgare n");
mBuilder.setStyle(inboxStyle);
TaskStackBuilder stackBuilder = TaskStackBuilder.create(context);
stackBuilder.addNextIntent(intent);
PendingIntent pIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, intent,
PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
mBuilder.setContentIntent(pIntent);
NotificationManager mNotificationManager = (NotificationManager) context.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
mBuilder.setDefaults(Notification.DEFAULT_SOUND | Notification.DEFAULT_VIBRATE);
mBuilder.setAutoCancel(true);
mNotificationManager.notify(0, mBuilder.build());
When creating notifications for a handheld device, you should always aggregate similar notifications into a single summary notification.
Check this it shows how to build stack notification.
private void sendStackNotificationIfNeeded(RemoteNotification remoteNotification) {
// only run this code if the device is running 23 or better
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 23) {
ArrayList<StatusBarNotification> groupedNotifications = new ArrayList<>();
// step through all the active StatusBarNotifications and
for (StatusBarNotification sbn : getNotificationManagerService().getActiveNotifications()) {
// add any previously sent notifications with a group that matches our RemoteNotification
// and exclude any previously sent stack notifications
if (remoteNotification.getUserNotificationGroup() != null &&
remoteNotification.getUserNotificationGroup().equals(sbn.getNotification().getGroup()) &&
sbn.getId() != RemoteNotification.TYPE_STACK) {
groupedNotifications.add(sbn);
}
}
// since we assume the most recent notification was delivered just prior to calling this method,
// we check that previous notifications in the group include at least 2 notifications
if (groupedNotifications.size() > 1) {
NotificationCompat.Builder builder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this);
// use convenience methods on our RemoteNotification wrapper to create a title
builder.setContentTitle(String.format("%s: %s", remoteNotification.getAppName(), remoteNotification.getErrorName()))
.setContentText(String.format("%d new activities", groupedNotifications.size()));
// for every previously sent notification that met our above requirements,
// add a new line containing its title to the inbox style notification extender
NotificationCompat.InboxStyle inbox = new NotificationCompat.InboxStyle();
{
for (StatusBarNotification activeSbn : groupedNotifications) {
String stackNotificationLine = (String)activeSbn.getNotification().extras.get(NotificationCompat.EXTRA_TITLE);
if (stackNotificationLine != null) {
inbox.addLine(stackNotificationLine);
}
}
// the summary text will appear at the bottom of the expanded stack notification
// we just display the same thing from above (don't forget to use string
// resource formats!)
inbox.setSummaryText(String.format("%d new activities", groupedNotifications.size()));
}
builder.setStyle(inbox);
// make sure that our group is set the same as our most recent RemoteNotification
// and choose to make it the group summary.
// when this option is set to true, all previously sent/active notifications
// in the same group will be hidden in favor of the notifcation we are creating
builder.setGroup(remoteNotification.getUserNotificationGroup())
.setGroupSummary(true);
// if the user taps the notification, it should disappear after firing its content intent
// and we set the priority to high to avoid Doze from delaying our notifications
builder.setAutoCancel(true)
.setPriority(NotificationCompat.PRIORITY_HIGH);
// create a unique PendingIntent using an integer request code.
final int requestCode = (int)System.currentTimeMillis() / 1000;
builder.setContentIntent(PendingIntent.getActivity(this, requestCode, DetailActivity.createIntent(this), PendingIntent.FLAG_ONE_SHOT));
Notification stackNotification = builder.build();
stackNotification.defaults = Notification.DEFAULT_ALL;
// finally, deliver the notification using the group identifier as the Tag
// and the TYPE_STACK which will cause any previously sent stack notifications
// for this group to be updated with the contents of this built summary notification
getNotificationManagerService().notify(remoteNotification.getUserNotificationGroup(), RemoteNotification.TYPE_STACK, stackNotification);
}
}
}
From https://developer.android.com/training/notify-user/group.
String GROUP_KEY_WORK_EMAIL = "com.android.example.WORK_EMAIL";
Notification newMessageNotification = new NotificationCompat.Builder(MainActivity.this, CHANNEL_ID)
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.new_mail)
.setContentTitle(emailObject.getSenderName())
.setContentText(emailObject.getSubject())
.setLargeIcon(emailObject.getSenderAvatar())
.setGroup(GROUP_KEY_WORK_EMAIL)
.build();
By default, notifications are sorted according to when they were posted, but you can change order by calling setSortKey().
If alerts for a notification's group should be handled by a different notification, call setGroupAlertBehavior(). For example, if you want only the summary of your group to make noise, all children in the group should have the group alert behavior GROUP_ALERT_SUMMARY. The other options are GROUP_ALERT_ALL and GROUP_ALERT_CHILDREN.
Set a group summary
On Android 7.0 (API level 24) and higher, the system automatically builds a summary for your group using snippets of text from each notification. The user can expand this notification to see each separate notification, as shown in figure 1. To support older versions, which cannot show a nested group of notifications, you must create an extra notification that acts as the summary. This appears as the only notification and the system hides all the others. So this summary should include a snippet from all the other notifications, which the user can tap to open your app.
Note: The behavior of the group summary may vary on some device types such as wearables. To ensure the best experience on all devices and versions, always include a group summary when you create a group.
To add a group summary, proceed as follows:
Create a new notification with a description of the group—often best done with the inbox-style notification.
Add the summary notification to the group by calling setGroup().
Specify that it should be used as the group summary by calling setGroupSummary(true).
For example:
//use constant ID for notification used as group summary
int SUMMARY_ID = 0;
String GROUP_KEY_WORK_EMAIL = "com.android.example.WORK_EMAIL";
Notification newMessageNotification1 =
new NotificationCompat.Builder(MainActivity.this, CHANNEL_ID)
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_notify_email_status)
.setContentTitle(emailObject1.getSummary())
.setContentText("You will not believe...")
.setGroup(GROUP_KEY_WORK_EMAIL)
.build();
Notification newMessageNotification2 =
new NotificationCompat.Builder(MainActivity.this, CHANNEL_ID)
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_notify_email_status)
.setContentTitle(emailObject2.getSummary())
.setContentText("Please join us to celebrate the...")
.setGroup(GROUP_KEY_WORK_EMAIL)
.build();
Notification summaryNotification =
new NotificationCompat.Builder(MainActivity.this, CHANNEL_ID)
.setContentTitle(emailObject.getSummary())
//set content text to support devices running API level < 24
.setContentText("Two new messages")
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_notify_summary_status)
//build summary info into InboxStyle template
.setStyle(new NotificationCompat.InboxStyle()
.addLine("Alex Faarborg Check this out")
.addLine("Jeff Chang Launch Party")
.setBigContentTitle("2 new messages")
.setSummaryText("janedoe#example.com"))
//specify which group this notification belongs to
.setGroup(GROUP_KEY_WORK_EMAIL)
//set this notification as the summary for the group
.setGroupSummary(true)
.build();
NotificationManagerCompat notificationManager = NotificationManagerCompat.from(this);
notificationManager.notify(emailNotificationId1, newMessageNotification1);
notificationManager.notify(emailNotificationId2, newMessageNotification2);
notificationManager.notify(SUMMARY_ID, summaryNotification);
The summary notification ID should stay the same so that it is only posted once, and so you can update it later if the summary information changes (subsequent additions to the group should result in updating the existing summary).
Use below give code for your notification manager and increment the count whenever a new notification received.
mNotificationManager.notify(count, mBuilder.build());
I'm using this code to create a Heads Up notification.
private static void showNotificationNew(final Context context,final String title,final String message,final Intent intent, final int notificationId, final boolean isHeaderNotification) {
NotificationCompat.Builder notificationBuilder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(context.getApplicationContext())
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.prime_builder_icon)
.setPriority(Notification.PRIORITY_DEFAULT)
.setCategory(Notification.CATEGORY_MESSAGE)
.setContentTitle(title)
.setContentText(message)
.setWhen(0)
.setTicker(context.getString(R.string.app_name));
PendingIntent fullScreenPendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_CANCEL_CURRENT);
notificationBuilder.setContentText(message);
if(isHeaderNotification) {
notificationBuilder.setFullScreenIntent(fullScreenPendingIntent, false);
}
notificationBuilder.setContentIntent(fullScreenPendingIntent);
notificationBuilder.setAutoCancel(true);
Notification notification = notificationBuilder.build();
NotificationManager manager = (NotificationManager) context.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
manager.notify(notificationId, notification);
}
The thing is, notification should appear occupying a good part of top screen to call user attention, but after a couple seconds it should dismiss and a normal notification should appear.
But this code doesn't do that. The notification stay occupying all the top screen until user dismiss it.
I'm thinking in create another normal notification with same ID after a couple of seconds using Handler, but I want to know if there is a better way to do this.
Follow an example of WhatsApp, simulating the behavior I want.
The issue is caused because you use setFullScreenIntent:
An intent to launch instead of posting the notification to the status
bar. Only for use with extremely high-priority notifications demanding
the user's immediate attention, such as an incoming phone call or
alarm clock that the user has explicitly set to a particular time. If
this facility is used for something else, please give the user an
option to turn it off and use a normal notification, as this can be
extremely disruptive.
Also as explained in this answer you should use setVibrate to make Heads-up work.
This is an example of working Heads-up notification:
private static void showNotificationNew(final Context context, final String title, final String message, final Intent intent, final int notificationId) {
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_CANCEL_CURRENT);
NotificationCompat.Builder notificationBuilder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(context.getApplicationContext())
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.small_icon)
.setPriority(Notification.PRIORITY_HIGH)
.setContentTitle(title)
.setContentText(message)
.setVibrate(new long[0])
.setContentIntent(pendingIntent)
.setAutoCancel(true);
NotificationManager manager = (NotificationManager) context.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
manager.notify(notificationId, notificationBuilder.build());
}
I am creating an application with a notification at different times. First notification display fine in the notification bar with an icon, title and text. But when the second notification comes the title and text of the first notification gets cleared and the second one displays. For the third notification again the second one's title and text gets cleared and so on.
The code i am using is
Uri uri = RingtoneManager.getDefaultUri(RingtoneManager.TYPE_NOTIFICATION);
long mNotificationId = System.currentTimeMillis();
NotificationCompat.Builder mBuilder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this)
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher)
.setSound(uri);
NotificationCompat.BigTextStyle bigTextStyle = new NotificationCompat.BigTextStyle();
bigTextStyle.setBigContentTitle("Time to Sleep!!!");
bigTextStyle.bigText("A good laugh and a long sleep are the best cures in the doctor's book.");
mBuilder.setStyle(bigTextStyle);
mBuilder.getNotification().flags |= Notification.FLAG_AUTO_CANCEL;
// Gets an instance of the NotificationManager service
NotificationManager mNotifyMgr = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
// Builds the notification and issues it.
mNotifyMgr.notify((int)mNotificationId, mBuilder.build());
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
I think you are only setting text for BigTextStyle
Also set Values for small or default settings
for eg
// Small - default style
NotificationCompat.Builder mBuilder =
new NotificationCompat.Builder(context)
.setDefaults(Notification.DEFAULT_ALL)
.setSmallIcon(context.getApplicationInfo().icon)
.setWhen(System.currentTimeMillis())
.setContentTitle(extras.getString("title"))
.setTicker(extras.getString("title"))
.setContentIntent(contentIntent);
Just check the mNotificationId value if its same
If same you can use the following to generate the random number
Random random = new Random();
int m = random.nextInt(9999 - 1000) + 1000;
and then use this m
mNotifyMgr.notify(m, mBuilder.build());
Try using
int notification_id = (int) date.getTime();
to ensure that every time a unique id is generated. Notifications with unique ids do not get over written and you can see multiple notifications in the notification panel. Hope this helps.
I am trying to modify existing notifications in android.
What I have in my app
When a notification is already in system tray and another notification appears, the second one overwrites the first notification content.
What I am looking for
If second Notification arrives then instead of overwriting the first I need to change title to show 2 New Messages and go on incrementing as notifications arrive.
Code Implemented
Bitmap icon = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(ctx.getResources(),
R.drawable.icon);
Intent launchActivity = new Intent(ctx, CordovaApp.class);
launchActivity.putExtra("heading",newsHeader);
launchActivity.putExtra("content",newsText);
PendingIntent pi = PendingIntent.getActivity(ctx,0, launchActivity, PendingIntent.FLAG_NO_CREATE);
ParseAnalytics.trackAppOpened(launchActivity);
if(pi==null){
Log.d(TAG, "Pending Intenet is null.");
}else{
Log.d(TAG, "Pending Intenet is not null.");
}
Notification noti = new NotificationCompat.Builder(ctx)
.setContentTitle(newsHeader)
.setContentText(newsText)
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.icon)
.setLargeIcon(icon)
.setContentIntent(pi)
.setAutoCancel(true)
.build();
NotificationManager nm = (NotificationManager)ctx.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
nm.notify(0, noti);
Update
I implemented the solution mentioned below by #yogendra and now I am getting two separate notifications. Instead of getting stacked. Below is updated code
Notification noti = new NotificationCompat.Builder(ctx)
.setContentTitle(newsHeader)
.setContentText(newsText)
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.icon)
.setGroup(GROUP_KEY_EMAILS)
.setLargeIcon(icon)
.setContentIntent(pi)
.setLights(Color.parseColor("green"), 5000, 5000)
.setAutoCancel(true)
.setPriority(2)
.setTicker("Notification from App")
.setGroupSummary(true)
.build();
NotificationManager nm = (NotificationManager)ctx.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
int timeSeconds = (int)System.currentTimeMillis()%Integer.MAX_VALUE;
Log.i(TAG,"Timing function called "+timeSeconds);
nm.notify(timeSeconds, noti);
See your code
nm.notify(0, noti);
where
notify(int id, Notification notification)
Here 0 is the ID of notification which is to be managed with respect to each notification. If you want to show a different notification your notification id should be unique each time. If you try to post a notification with the same notification id your previously displayed notification will be replaced with the latest notification.
Solution
Now you need to display a custom notification with a custom layout and update the counter each time .
Source code to create a Custom Notification.
create global variable in your class :
private int count = 0;
private ArrayList<String> notificationList = new ArrayList<String>();
private String GROUP_KEY_EMAILS = "email";
/call method createNotification when you need to create notification and pass message what you need to show on message./
private void createNotification(String notificationMassage) {
notificationList.add(notificationMassage);
NotificationManager mNotificationManager =
(NotificationManager) getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
Bitmap largeIcon = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(),
R.drawable.ic_launcher);
// Create builder
Builder summaryNotification = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this)
.setContentTitle(notificationList.size()+" new messages")
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.settings)
.setLargeIcon(largeIcon)
.setGroup(GROUP_KEY_EMAILS)
.setGroupSummary(true)
.setAutoCancel(true);
// Create style
InboxStyle nStyle = new NotificationCompat.InboxStyle();
nStyle.setBigContentTitle(notificationList.size()+" new messages");
nStyle.setSummaryText("Summery Text...<you can set as blank>");
for (String Str : notificationList) {
nStyle.addLine(Str);
}
summaryNotification.setStyle(nStyle);
mNotificationManager.notify(0, summaryNotification.build());
count++;
}
/**
please clear notification array list after tap on notification.

I have a server with some data and in my app I want to show this data via push-notification, so the problem is I didn't get how to cooperate notification number in status bar with my notifiсations. In my app I get notifications as ArrayList from my server. For each notification I should use a "Notification builder", in which I'll put notify fields like icon, name, desc etc, and at least I should call "NotificationManager.notify" for each of them, but how I can show that I've just gotten 3 messages for example in my status bar(one icon with indicator of 3, NOT 3 icons), and don't multiply a notification sound, but still show all of them when I open a status bar.
My code:
public void sendNotifications(ArrayList<Message> messages){
int notifyID = 0;
mNotificationManager = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
for(Message message:messages){
Intent notificationIntent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), MainActivity.class);
PendingIntent contentIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(getApplicationContext(),0, notificationIntent,
PendingIntent.FLAG_CANCEL_CURRENT);
Resources res = getApplicationContext().getResources();
Notification.Builder builder = new Notification.Builder(getApplicationContext());
builder.setContentIntent(contentIntent)
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher)
.setLargeIcon(BitmapFactory.decodeResource(res, messages.media))
.setTicker("Got a new message")
.setWhen(System.currentTimeMillis())
.setAutoCancel(true)
.setContentTitle(message.titile)
.setContentText(message.text);
Notification notification = builder.getNotification();
mNotificationManager.notify(notifyID, notification);
notifyID++;
}
}
UPD
For more understanding what i want to i've added an images
-pic1 When i send notifications - icon shows me how much i got
-pic2 When i opened a status bar it shows me all my notifies
It is possible to do that?
You cannot do that - Combine 3 notification into one.
Either you create a single notification combining all the notifications or like this only.
It is not necessary that you will get 3 notifications. You can get 1 or 2 also.
I don't see the issue here. If there are 3 notifications, you will see 3 icons in the status bar.
Each icon represents an entry in the pull down notification bar- having one icon represent multiple entries wouldn't really make sense.
Notification.Builder has method setNumber to set number of notifications. It's described in Notification docs in Updating notifications section.
You can use Big view notification.
Check here : Notifications
Notification Id must be a constant. If notification id is different it will show as different notifications. So your code must be like this, declare ID and count as field variable:
public static final int NOTIFICATION_ID = 1;
private int notificationCount = 1;
and change the method like this:
public void sendNotifications(ArrayList<Message> messages){
int notifyID = 0;
mNotificationManager = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
for(Message message:messages){
Intent notificationIntent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), MainActivity.class);
TaskStackBuilder stackBuilder = TaskStackBuilder.create(this);
// Adds the back stack
stackBuilder.addParentStack(MainActivity.class);
// Adds the Intent to the top of the stack
stackBuilder.addNextIntent(notificationIntent);
// Gets a PendingIntent containing the entire back stack
PendingIntent contentIntent = stackBuilder.getPendingIntent(0,
PendingIntent.FLAG_CANCEL_CURRENT);
Resources res = getApplicationContext().getResources();
Notification.Builder builder = new Notification.Builder(getApplicationContext());
builder.setContentIntent(contentIntent)
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher)
.setLargeIcon(BitmapFactory.decodeResource(res, messages.media))
.setTicker("Got a new message")
.setWhen(System.currentTimeMillis())
.setAutoCancel(true)
.setContentTitle(message.titile)
.setContentText(message.text);
.setNumber(notificationCount++);
mNotificationManager.notify(NOTIFICATION_ID, builder.build());
}
}
Thanks
