Notification within BroadCastReceiver doesnt work

I faced an issue with Notification within BroadcastReceiver().
as I know, My code worked properly before but it doesn't work now.
sometimes NotificationTicker appear but no title and content has been appeared.
here is my code. my searches couldn't help me to find where is the problem.
here is my CODE:
private void MyNotification(Context context) {
String NotificqationText = "NotificqationText";
String NotificationTitle = "NotificationTitle ";
String NotificationTicker = "NotificationTicker";
PendingIntent MyPendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0, new Intent(context, Splash.class), 0);
NotificationCompat.Builder MyNB = new NotificationCompat.Builder(context);
MyNB.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.icon);
MyNB.setContentTitle(NotificationTitle);
MyNB.setContentText(NotificqationText);
MyNB.setTicker(NotificationTicker);
MyNB.setAutoCancel(true);
MyNB.setContentIntent(MyPendingIntent);
Bitmap MyPicture = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(context.getResources(), R.drawable.icon);
MyNB.setLargeIcon(MyPicture);
NotificationCompat.BigPictureStyle MyPicStyle = new NotificationCompat.BigPictureStyle().bigPicture(MyPicture);
MyPicStyle.setSummaryText("Etude can makes our life Enlightened");
MyNB.setStyle(MyPicStyle);
MyNB.setStyle(new NotificationCompat.BigTextStyle());
NotificationCompat.BigTextStyle MyText = new NotificationCompat.BigTextStyle();
MyText.bigText(NotificqationText);
MyText.setBigContentTitle(NotificationTitle);
NotificationManager MyNotifyManager = (NotificationManager) context.getSystemService(context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
MyNotifyManager.notify(1, MyNB.build());
}
I used Toast message to find my broadcastreceiver works or not and find broadcast works properly and only notification has problem

Try this code :
private void MyNotification(Context context) {
String NotificqationText = "NotificqationText";
String NotificationTitle = "NotificationTitle ";
String NotificationTicker = "NotificationTicker";
Intent intent = new Intent(this, Splash.class);
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK |(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP
| Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TASK));
PendingIntent MyPendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0,
intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT | PendingIntent.FLAG_ONE_SHOT);
Bitmap MyPicture = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(context.getResources(), R.drawable.icon);
Notification MyNB = new Notification.Builder(this)
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.icon)
.setLargeIcon(MyPicture)
.setStyle()
.setBigContentTitle(NotificationTitle)
.setContentTitle(NotificationTitle)
.setContentText(NotificqationText)
.setTicker(NotificationTicker)
.setAutoCancel(true)
.setContentIntent(MyPendingIntent)
.build();
NotificationManager notificationManager = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
MyNB.flags |= Notification.FLAG_SHOW_LIGHTS;
MyNB.flags |= Notification.FLAG_AUTO_CANCEL;
MyNB.defaults = Notification.DEFAULT_ALL;
notificationManager.notify((int)System.currentTimeMillis(), MyNB);
}

Notification not received in Android 2.3

I'm implementing a notification service and I have problems to receive the messages in Android 2.3. I receive the messages in versions 4.0 and newer but not in 2.3. In logcat appears the following errors:
Could not find class 'com.google.android.gms.ads.internal.b.c', referenced from method com.google.android.gms.ads.internal.n.e.a
.
.
Could not find class 'android.app.Notification$Builder', referenced from method com.google.android.gms.common.l.a
What could be the problem? This is my method to send the notification:
private void sendNotification(String msg) {
MainActivity.notificationClicked = true;
int icon = R.drawable.ic_launcher;
long when = System.currentTimeMillis();
NotificationManager notificationManager = (NotificationManager) this
.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
String strMessage = loadPreferences();
String newMessage = "";
if (!strMessage.isEmpty())
newMessage = strMessage + "<br>" + msg;
else
newMessage = msg;
RemoteViews contentView = new RemoteViews(getPackageName(), R.layout.custom_notification_layout);
contentView.setImageViewResource(R.id.image, R.drawable.ic_launcher);
contentView.setTextViewText(R.id.text, Html.fromHtml(newMessage));
Notification notification = new Notification(icon, Html.fromHtml(msg), when);
notification.contentView = contentView;
String title = this.getString(R.string.app_name);
ActivityManager am = (ActivityManager) getSystemService(ACTIVITY_SERVICE);
List < ActivityManager.RunningTaskInfo > taskInfo = am.getRunningTasks(1);
Log.d("current task :", "CURRENT Activity ::" + taskInfo.get(0).topActivity.getClass().getSimpleName());
ComponentName componentInfo = taskInfo.get(0).topActivity;
Intent notificationIntent;
if(!componentInfo.getPackageName().equalsIgnoreCase("com.example.myapp")){
notificationIntent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(),
FirstActivity.class);
} else {
notificationIntent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(),
MainActivity.class);
notificationIntent.putExtra("login", true);
}
notificationIntent.putExtra("message", Html.fromHtml(msg));
oldMessage = newMessage;
savePreferences(getApplicationContext(), oldMessage);
notificationIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP
| Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
int notifyID = 1;
PendingIntent intent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, notifyID,
notificationIntent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
notification.setLatestEventInfo(this, title, msg, intent);
notification.flags |= Notification.FLAG_AUTO_CANCEL;
notification.contentIntent = intent;
notificationManager.notify(notifyID, notification);
}
When I send the message I receive it in device with Android 4.2 for example but not in devices with Android 2.3. I'm debugging the app with Android 2.3 and I have put a breakpoint in the method onHandleIntent of the IntentService but it never comes. I think that it could be for the errors that appears in logcat.
How can I solve the problem for devices with Android 2.3?
Thanks in advance.
I change Notification to NotificationCompat:
NotificationCompat.Builder mBuilder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this);
mBuilder.setContentIntent(intent);
Notification notification = mBuilder.build();
notification.contentView = contentView;
notificationManager.notify(notifyID, notification);
but the problem persist, in logcat appears the same error

Try this code. I've used this in my project and it runs good. receiverActivity is activity that will open onclick, as I can remember, but I'm not 100% sure of it.
public static void showNotification ( Context context, Class receiverActivityClass, String title, String text, int icon )
{
Intent intent = new Intent( context, receiverActivityClass );
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity( context, 0, intent, 0 );
// Build notification
Notification notification = new Notification.Builder( context )
.setContentTitle( title )
.setContentText( text )
.setSmallIcon( icon )
.setContentIntent( pendingIntent )
.setAutoCancel( true )
.getNotification();
NotificationManager notificationManager =
( NotificationManager ) context.getSystemService( context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE );
notificationManager.notify( 0, notification );
}

Notification in Kitkat

I am creating a notification upon click I am asking it cancel a service. It just works fine below 4.4 (Kitkat). My app supports 2.2 (API 8 onwards)
On Kitkit (Nexus 5) The service isn't called at all. I am not where I am going wrong here? It just works fine even on version 4.3?
Here is what I have tried and working on every phone except Nexus 5(Kitkat)
createNotification("Click here to cancel notification!", "TestApp");
I am calling the above immediately after calling a particular service.
private void createNotification(String body,String title)
{
NotificationManager nm = (NotificationManager)getSystemService(NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
int unique_id = 007;
Intent nintent = new Intent(this,ServicetocancelAlarm.class);
PendingIntent pin = PendingIntent.getService(this,0, nintent, 0);
//set notify image
Notification n = new Notification(R.drawable.ic_launcher, body,java.lang.System.currentTimeMillis());
n.contentIntent = pin;
n.setLatestEventInfo(this, title, body, pin);
n.defaults = Notification.DEFAULT_ALL;
nm.notify(unique_id, n);
}
Can somebody help me out fixing this issue with KITKAT?
Update:
I tried the following:
Notification("Message", "This is Android Notification Message");
And Method
#SuppressWarnings("deprecation")
private void Notification(String notificationTitle, String notificationMessage)
{
NotificationManager notificationManager = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
android.app.Notification notification = new android.app.Notification(R.drawable.ic_launcher, "A New Message",
System.currentTimeMillis());
Intent notificationIntent = new Intent(this, TransparentActivity.class);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, notificationIntent, 0);
notification.setLatestEventInfo(MainActivity.this, notificationTitle, notificationMessage, pendingIntent);
notificationManager.notify(10001, notification);
}
This piece of code works fine on debug mode but if Export the apk and install it. It just doesn't work at all. It doesn't get to the new activity. I am not sure what is wrong here.

I solved the problem by trying the following code:
int currentapiVersion = android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT;
if (currentapiVersion >= 16)
{
Context context = RepeatService.this;
Intent notificationIntent = new Intent(context, ServicetocancelAlarm.class);
PendingIntent contentIntent = PendingIntent.getService(context, 0, notificationIntent, PendingIntent.FLAG_CANCEL_CURRENT);
NotificationManager nm = (NotificationManager) context.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
Resources res = context.getResources();
Notification.Builder builder = new Notification.Builder(context);
builder.setContentIntent(contentIntent)
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher)
.setLargeIcon(BitmapFactory.decodeResource(res, R.drawable.ic_launcher))
.setTicker(res.getString(R.string.ticker))
.setWhen(System.currentTimeMillis())
.setAutoCancel(true)
.setContentTitle(res.getString(R.string.app_name))
.setContentText(res.getString(R.string.cancelText));
Notification n = builder.build();
nm.notify(007, n);
}
Else part has the usual notification code that just works fine below API 16..
try it out!!

IllegalArgumentException while creating Notification inside a BroadcastReceiver

I am using the following code to create a Notification inside the onRecieve method of my BroadcastReceiver but it is giving me the following exception:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: contentIntent required
The code:
NotificationManager notificationManager;
notificationManager = (NotificationManager) context
.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
String tickerText;
String expandedText;
String expandedTitle;
int icon;
long when;
Notification notification;
int notificationref = new Random().nextInt(100) + 1;
icon = R.drawable.reminder;
tickerText = "New Reminder";
when = System.currentTimeMillis();
notification = new Notification(icon, tickerText, when);
expandedText = "Reminder at: "
+ DateOrTimeString.getTimeString(task.time) + "\n"
+ task.detail;
expandedTitle = "Reminder:" + task.topic;
Intent intentDestroyer = new Intent(context, RemindHomeActivity.class);
intentDestroyer.putExtra("ID", task.id);
intentDestroyer.putExtra("NOTIFICATIONREF", notificationref);
launchIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, notificationref,
intentDestroyer, 0);
notification.setLatestEventInfo(mContext, expandedTitle, expandedText,
null);
notificationManager.notify(1, notification);
One more thing this problem is only in API level less than 11. it is wortking in API level 15 Icecream Sandwitch

You need to set the contentIntent
void android.app.Notification.setLatestEventInfo(Context context, CharSequence contentTitle, CharSequence contentText, PendingIntent contentIntent)‬
in your case:
notification.setLatestEventInfo(mContext, expandedTitle, expandedText,
launchIntent );

Does anyone know how to impose counters on status bar notifications in Honeycomb

I am trying to use number field of Notification class to get "number of events" associated with each notification. For Ex. If I have two unread emails, email icon in the status bar should show "2" imposed on the email icon. I think this was working fine with froyo but somehow I am not able to make it work for Honeycomb. This is how my code looks like
PendingIntent contentIntent;
RemoteViews contentView = new RemoteViews(getPackageName(), R.layout.custom_notification_layout);
Notification.Builder builder = new Notification.Builder(this);
builder.getNotification().number = 2;
builder.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.phone_missedcall);
builder.setTicker("ABCD & Status : Missed Call");
notificationIntent = new Intent (this, NotificationSBActivity.class);
contentIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, notificationIntent, 0);
builder.setContentIntent(contentIntent);
contentView = new RemoteViews(getPackageName(), R.layout.custom_notification_layout);
contentView.setImageViewResource(R.id.contact_image, R.drawable.ic_contact_picture);
contentView.setTextViewText(R.id.line_name, "Line 2: Cisco");
builder.setContent(contentView);
But it doesn't show "2" imposed over the icon. Is there any other way to get the counter in Honeycomb ??
Also, tried
int icon = R.drawable.phone_app; // icon from resources
CharSequence tickerText = "Hello"; // ticker-text
long when = System.currentTimeMillis(); // notification time
Context context = getApplicationContext(); // application Context
CharSequence contentTitle = "My notification"; // message title
CharSequence contentText = "Hello World!"; // message text
notificationIntent = new Intent(this, NotificationSBActivity.class);
contentIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, notificationIntent, 0);
// the next two lines initialize the Notification, using the configurations above
Notification notification = new Notification(icon, tickerText, when);
notification.setLatestEventInfo(context, contentTitle, contentText, contentIntent);
notification.number = 2;
mNotificationManager.notify(0, notification);
Please let me know if anyone has tried notification counters on Honeycomb ??
