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

When a new notification comes the title and text of old notification gets cleared in android

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.

Android Wear Notification Page Actions

I have an app that kicks off a notification on a Wear device (the notification is created and shown on the Wear device).
What I want to do is have the "first" notification page display some high level info (app name, scroll to see more, etc...), and then have a list of pages containing content after that.
That works fine. The issue is that I want to attach an Action to each page (to kick off a PendingIntent). However, no matter what I try, I can't get the page to perform the Action.
I've tried:
setContentIntent
addAction
addAction and extend(new Notification.WearableExtender().setContentAction(0))
Anyone have any ideas?
I'm using Notification, not NotificationCompat, but I don't think that should make a difference.
UPDATE: I'm creating the notification on the watch. Here is the code I use:
private void createNotifications(ArrayList<Thing> things) {
DataApi data = Wearable.DataApi;
int notificationId = 0;
NotificationManager nm = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
Notification.Builder mainBuilder = new Notification.Builder(this)
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.default_icon)
.setContentTitle("Things")
.setContentText("Swipe to see your things")
.setPriority(Notification.PRIORITY_DEFAULT);
List<Notification> pages = new ArrayList<>(things.size());
for(Thing thing : things) {
pages.add(createNotificationPageForThing(data, thing, notificationId).build());
notificationId++;
}
Notification n = new Notification.WearableExtender().addPages(pages).extend(mainBuilder).build();
nm.notify(notificationId, n);
}
private Notification.Builder createNotificationPageForThing(DataApi data, Thing thing, int notificationId) {
Asset bitmapAsset = getBitmapAsset(data, contact);
Intent thingIntent = new Intent(this, WearDetailActivity.class);
thingIntent.putExtra(WearDetailActivity.DETAIL_EXTRA, thing);
PendingIntent thingPendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, notificationId, thingIntent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
Notification.Action action = new Notification.Action(R.drawable.ic_action_social_person, "More details", thingPendingIntent);
Notification.Builder builder = new Notification.Builder(this)
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_action_social_person)
.setContentTitle(thing.getDisplayName())
.setPriority(Notification.PRIORITY_DEFAULT)
.addAction(action)
.extend(new Notification.WearableExtender().setContentAction(0));
if(bitmapAsset != null) {
try {
Bitmap b = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(
data.getFdForAsset(connection.getClient(), bitmapAsset).await().getInputStream());
builder.setLargeIcon(b);
} catch (Throwable ignore) {}
}
return builder;
}

#Eliezer, reading at the following line I did not understand what exactly is the behaviour you're experiencing ... explaining it in details might be helpful to debug your problem.
However, no matter what I try, I can't get the page to perform the Action.
Using .addAction() should work in your case. You'd want to use WearableExtender if you were creating the notification from the device, not the watch itself. Just to confirm something obvious - you're passing the .addAction a PendingIntent right?
Here's a code snippet from one of my applications, which accomplishes exactly what you're aiming for - I have just "Swipe for actions" text in the first page, and the next 2 pages perform different actions.
NotificationCompat.Builder builder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this);
Intent openIntent = new Intent(this, CommonWearIntentService.class);
openIntent.setAction(CommonWearIntentService.ACTION_OPEN_ON_PHONE);
PendingIntent openPendingIntent = PendingIntent.getService(this, 0, openIntent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
Intent addTransactionIntent = new Intent(this, CommonWearIntentService.class);
addTransactionIntent.setAction(CommonWearIntentService.ACTION_ADD_TRANSACTION);
PendingIntent addTransactionPendingIntent = PendingIntent.getService(this, 0, addTransactionIntent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
builder.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_notification)
.setContentTitle(getString(R.string.app_name))
.setContentText(getString(R.string.swipe_for_actions))
.addAction(R.drawable.add_transaction, getString(R.string.add_transaction), addTransactionPendingIntent)
.addAction(R.drawable.common_full_open_on_phone, getString(R.string.common_open_on_phone), openPendingIntent)
.setVibrate(new long[]{500, 500, 500, 1000})
.setLights(Color.BLUE, 3000, 3000)
.setOngoing(true);
notificationManager.notify(ONGOING_NOTIFICATION_ID, builder.build());
Hope this helps!

Per the documentation, you must use NotificationCompat. After you switch to that setContentIntent() looks to be the right way to set the PendingIntent.
Example from the linked docs:
// Create builder for the main notification
NotificationCompat.Builder notificationBuilder =
new NotificationCompat.Builder(this)
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.new_message)
.setContentTitle("Page 1")
.setContentText("Short message")
.setContentIntent(viewPendingIntent);
// Create a big text style for the second page
BigTextStyle secondPageStyle = new NotificationCompat.BigTextStyle();
secondPageStyle.setBigContentTitle("Page 2")
.bigText("A lot of text...");
// Create second page notification
Notification secondPageNotification =
new NotificationCompat.Builder(this)
.setStyle(secondPageStyle)
.build();
// Add second page with wearable extender and extend the main notification
Notification twoPageNotification =
new WearableExtender()
.addPage(secondPageNotification)
.extend(notificationBuilder)
.build();
// Issue the notification
notificationManager =
NotificationManagerCompat.from(this);
notificationManager.notify(notificationId, twoPageNotification);

Is possible set Expanded Notification as default in Big Text Notifications?

I followed this Sample Code
In Big Text Notifications section, he said that need expand to see Big text notification form, as image im below :
I wonder that we can not set Expanded Notification as default in Big Text Notifications?
People who know it is can or not,
If can,
Please tell me how to do it,
Thanks,

The documentation states:
A notification's big view appears only when the notification is
expanded, which happens when the notification is at the top of the
notification drawer, or when the user expands the notification with a
gesture.
So my answer is no, you can't expand it by default.
There is however a trick to push the notification to the top of the list where it would be expanded. Simply set the Priority to Notification.PRIORITY_MAX and chances are that your app's notification will make it to the top.

Notification noti = new Notification.Builder()
... // The same notification properties as the others
.setStyle(new Notification.BigPictureStyle().bigPicture(mBitmap))
.build();
You change
.setStyle(new NotificationCompat.BigTextStyle().bigText(th_alert))
along with the announcement
notification = new NotificationCompat.Builder(context)
Here is an example:
You can set Code
Intent intent = new Intent(context, ReserveStatusActivity.class);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0, intent, 0);
NotificationManager notificationManager =
(NotificationManager) context.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
intent = new Intent(String.valueOf(PushActivity.class));
intent.putExtra("message", MESSAGE);
TaskStackBuilder stackBuilder = TaskStackBuilder.create(context);
stackBuilder.addParentStack(PushActivity.class);
stackBuilder.addNextIntent(intent);
// PendingIntent pendingIntent =
stackBuilder.getPendingIntent(0, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
// android.support.v4.app.NotificationCompat.BigTextStyle bigStyle = new NotificationCompat.BigTextStyle();
// bigStyle.bigText((CharSequence) context);
notification = new NotificationCompat.Builder(context)
.setSmallIcon(R.mipmap.ic_launcher)
.setContentTitle(th_title)
.setContentText(th_alert)
.setAutoCancel(true)
// .setStyle(new Notification.BigTextStyle().bigText(th_alert) ตัวเก่า
// .setStyle(new NotificationCompat.BigTextStyle().bigText(th_title))
.setStyle(new NotificationCompat.BigTextStyle().bigText(th_alert))
.setContentIntent(pendingIntent)
.setNumber(++numMessages)
.build();
notification.sound = RingtoneManager.getDefaultUri(RingtoneManager.TYPE_NOTIFICATION);
notificationManager.notify(1000, notification);

notificationBuilder.setStyle(new NotificationCompat.BigTextStyle().bigText("Your Long Text here"))
simply setStyle of your notification builder.

No need of doing any kind of modification in the any file for showing of multiple lines of Notification while using Push Notification V5, remove the field "style", from the object you are sending. Automatically the Multiple lines of notification will be seen. For more information, upvote the answer, ask your query. I will help you out.
For reference, visit this question

From this notification code you have got images, and big text or more.
NotificationCompat.Builder mBuilder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(context);
if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {
mBuilder.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.small_logo);
mBuilder.setColor(Color.parseColor("#D74F4F"));
} else {
mBuilder.setSmallIcon(icon);
}
mBuilder.setTicker(title).setWhen(when);
mBuilder.setAutoCancel(true);
mBuilder.setContentTitle(title);
mBuilder.setContentIntent(intent);
mBuilder.setSound(RingtoneManager.getDefaultUri(RingtoneManager.TYPE_NOTIFICATION));
mBuilder.setLargeIcon(BitmapFactory.decodeResource(context.getResources(), icon));
mBuilder.setContentText(msg);
mBuilder.setPriority(Notification.PRIORITY_MAX);
if (Utils.validateString(banner_path)) {
mBuilder.setStyle(notiStyle);
} else {
mBuilder.setStyle(new NotificationCompat.BigTextStyle().bigText(msg));
}
Notification noti = mBuilder.build();
notificationManager.notify(0, noti);

Android : Unable to display multiple lines of text in Notification

I am trying to display multiple lines of Text using BigTextStyle in Notification but unable to do so. I am using the code below.
public void sendNotification(View view) {
String msgText = "Jeally Bean Notification example!! "
+ "where you will see three different kind of notification. "
+ "you can even put the very long string here.";
NotificationManager notificationManager = getNotificationManager();
PendingIntent pi = getPendingIntent();
android.app.Notification.Builder builder = new Notification.Builder(
this);
builder.setContentTitle("Big text Notofication")
.setContentText("Big text Notification")
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher).setAutoCancel(true)
.setPriority(Notification.PRIORITY_HIGH)
.addAction(R.drawable.ic_launcher, "show activity", pi);
Notification notification = new Notification.BigTextStyle(builder)
.bigText(msgText).build();
notificationManager.notify(0, notification);
}
public NotificationManager getNotificationManager() {
return (NotificationManager) getSystemService(NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
}
public PendingIntent getPendingIntent() {
return PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, new Intent(this,
MainActivity.class), 0);
}
I can't even see 'msgText' in the notification. Any idea why?
Thanks for helping.

Solved!
Code was fine, its just that there was not enough space for big notification. When I disconnected data cable, it got displayed in desired manner. :-)
Thanks to all who tried to help.

Just set notification style to BigText
NotificationCompat.BigTextStyle bigStyle =
new NotificationCompat.BigTextStyle();
bigStyle.setBigContentTitle(title);
bigStyle.bigText(messageBody);
builder.setStyle(bigStyle);

Try to set content intent value as well.
Notification.Builder builder = new Notification.Builder(this);
builder.setContentTitle("Big text Notification")
.setContentText("Big text Notification")
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher)
.setAutoCancel(true)
.setContentIntent(pi) // <- this new line
.setPriority(Notification.PRIORITY_HIGH)
.addAction(R.drawable.ic_launcher, "show activity", pi);

.setPriority(Notification.PRIORITY_HIGH) - this line solved my problem. The multiline conserve size.
