Rich Push Notification not hiding the large icon on expanding the notification containing image

I am following the android developers docs to create an expandable notification containing one image.I have written the same code as per the docs but my large icon is not hiding after I expand my notification.
Here's my code:-
NotificationCompat.Builder notificationBuilder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this, id)
.setSmallIcon(getNotificationIcon())
.setColor(ContextCompat.getColor(this, R.color.colorPrimary))
.setContentTitle(title)
.setContentText(data.get("message"))
.setLargeIcon(bitmap)
.setStyle(new NotificationCompat.BigPictureStyle().bigPicture(bitmap)
.bigLargeIcon(null))
.setAutoCancel(true).setChannelId(id)
.setSound(RingtoneManager.getDefaultUri(RingtoneManager.TYPE_NOTIFICATION));
Notification notification = notificationBuilder.build();
notification.sound = RingtoneManager.getDefaultUri(RingtoneManager.TYPE_NOTIFICATION);
notification.flags |=
Notification.FLAG_AUTO_CANCEL; //Do not clear the notification
notification.defaults |= Notification.DEFAULT_LIGHTS; // LED
notification.defaults |= Notification.DEFAULT_VIBRATE;//Vibration
notificationManager.notify(mUniqueId, notification);
and android developer's code :-
Notification notification = new NotificationCompat.Builder(mContext, CHANNEL_ID)
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.new_post)
.setContentTitle(imageTitle)
.setContentText(imageDescription)
.setLargeIcon(myBitmap)
.setStyle(new NotificationCompat.BigPictureStyle()
.bigPicture(myBitmap)
.bigLargeIcon(null))
.build();
I am not able to understand whether I am missing something or doing it in wrong way. Please help . Thank You in advance.

I got the answer !!
Actually it is device specific issue.Some android devices are not hiding the large icon on expanding the notification and some devices are hiding it.

How to mute Notification Sound in Android

I'm developing application, in that I'm using push notification. For that I want to add setting to enable/disable notification sound. I am used ToggleButton for Yen/No.
Now on Yes, I declared,
`defaults = defaults | Notification.DEFAULT_LIGHTS;
defaults = defaults | Notification.DEFAULT_VIBRATE;
defaults = defaults | Notification.DEFAULT_SOUND;`
But when it NO, i dono how to Mute it.
Please give me suggestions to mute sound.

Add this before:
myNotification.defaults = 0;
myNotification.defaults |= Notification.DEFAULT_VIBRATE;
Notification.DEFAULT_LIGHTS
Notification.DEFAULT_VIBRATE
Notification.DEFAULT_SOUND
Notification.DEFAULT_ALL

Notification Bar shows both Large and Small Icons

The notification bar in my application shows only the small icon in the ticker (as it should). However, when the "shade" is pulled down, it shows both the small icon from the ticker, as well as a large icon that I set in the Notification.Builder. Here's my code:
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT > 10){
notification = new Notification(R.drawable.ic_stat_mintchip,
"This is a test",
System.currentTimeMillis());
notification.largeIcon = (((BitmapDrawable)c.getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.ic_launcher)).getBitmap());
notification.defaults |= Notification.DEFAULT_ALL;
notification.number += 1;
notification.flags |= Notification.FLAG_AUTO_CANCEL;
} else {
notification = new Notification(R.drawable.ic_stat_mintchip,
"This is a test",
System.currentTimeMillis());
notification.flags |= Notification.FLAG_AUTO_CANCEL;
notification.defaults |= Notification.DEFAULT_ALL;
notification.number += 1;
}
}
I don't quite know why this is happening. Any assistance?

I think the issue here is possibly that you're not using the Notificaiton.Builder class. Here's a small example of what you could do (you would have to insert your own variables though, and set the other properties that you used such as vibration):
Notification.Builder nb = new Notification.Builder(context)
.setContentTitle("title")
.setContentText("content")
.setAutoCancel(true)
.setLargeIcon(largeIcon)
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.small_icon)
.setTicker(s.getText());
NotificationManager nm = (NotificationManager)context.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
nm.notify(100, nb.build());

Another issue i had in android lollipop is that the small icon was displayed next to the large icon. To solve it - just don't set the large icon! Use only the small icon setting.

http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element.html
if you set your max sdk version in android manifest to 19(i.e KitKat) Your app will no longer display notifications meant for lolipop

Android notificationlight not working

I'm using a notification to let the user now that the service is still running. Now I'd like to use the notificationlight to remind the user. (because it's fancy)
The notification works fine, but the notification light does nothing. Other applications work fine with the notification light, (gtalk, facebook)
it's more or less the example code for notifications with addition of these flags:
notification.ledARGB = 0xff00ff00;
notification.ledOnMS = 100;
notification.ledOffMS = 100;
notification.flags |= Notification.FLAG_SHOW_LIGHTS;
notification.flags |= Notification.FLAG_NO_CLEAR + Notification.FLAG_ONGOING_EVENT;
mNotificationManager.notify(NOTIFICATION_ID, notification);
and
notification.defaults |= Notification.DEFAULT_LIGHTS;
instead doesn't work either.
I'm debugging on a Galaxy Nexus with Android 4.0, but the app's target is Android 2.3.3
EDIT:
could this be a problem of permission? If yes, which one? I looked through all and found no matching permission for the notification light.

I think there is an error with the + operator, you need the OR:
notification.flags |= Notification.FLAG_NO_CLEAR | Notification.FLAG_ONGOING_EVENT;
EDIT: and if you are using flags, I think the right one should be:
notification.flags |= Notification.FLAG_SHOW_LIGHTS

On jelly bean devices, led only works if notification priority is set to max or default, please check again. Following snippet of code is working fine for me on jb devices.
notification.setLights(0xFF0000FF,100,3000);
notification.setPriority(Notification.PRIORITY_DEFAULT);
Here I'm showing blue color led for notification which will remain on for 100 ms and off for 3000 ms till user unlocks his device.
And check if you are using NotificationCompat (compatibility) class than ignore setDefaults method and use SetLight, SetSound, Setvibration, etc

How to turn off the default vibration of a notification

I am using Galaxy Nexus with Android 4.0, I set the silent mode to vibrate in Settings. I use NotificationManager.notify to send the Notification. I don't set Notification.vibrate, I even use myNotification.defaults &= ~Notification.DEFAULT_VIBRATE to disable the vibration. But it still vibrate after calling NotifcationManager.notify.
Could anyone tell me how to turn off the vibration of a Notification in vibrate mode?

use the following code:
notification.defaults = Notification.DEFAULT_LIGHTS;
//or
notification.defaults = Notification.DEFAULT_SOUND;

To disable Vibration when notification comes, I use this code.
notification.vibrate = new long[] { -1 };
And its working perfectly.

To manage notification settings dynamically:
notification.defaults = Notification.DEFAULT_LIGHTS;
if(/*sound enabled*/)
notification.defaults |= Notification.DEFAULT_SOUND;
if(/*vibration enabled*/)
notification.defaults |= Notification.DEFAULT_VIBRATE;

First store the value of your vibrate setting button in shared preference. and then place this code where your notification is received.
SharedPreferences preferences = context.getSharedPreferences("VIBRATE",
0);
boolean vibrate = preferences.getBoolean("vibrate", true);
if (vibrate) {
notification.defaults |= Notification.DEFAULT_VIBRATE;
}

It can also be done using the following adb command for specific package
adb shell
cmd appops set package_name VIBRATE ignore
The above command will disable all vibrations for package_name package.
