I am using the following to present notifications to users on Android which currently works fine but I am having an issue that the notification appears in the status bar but does not come up as a heads up like a Facebook or WhatsApp notification does on the device? I get the notification but have to pull down on the status bar to view it. I am wondering is there a way to make this appear on the top of the screen in bubble format or is this something that varies between phone settings?
Code is attached below:
MainActivity
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
addNotification(10,"eventname","roomname");
addNotification(25,"eventname2","roomname2");
}
public void addNotification(int test, String test2, String test3){
AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager) getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
Intent intent = new Intent(this, AlarmReceiver.class);
intent.putExtra("test",test2);
intent.putExtra("test2",test3);
final int _id = 50;
Random random = new Random();
final int randomInt = random.nextInt();
System.out.println("random integer:" + randomInt);
PendingIntent appIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, randomInt, intent,PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
cal.add(Calendar.SECOND, test);
alarmManager.setExact(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, cal.getTimeInMillis(), appIntent);
}
}
AlarmReceiver
public class AlarmReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver{
private static final String CHANNEL_ID = "com.singhajit.notificationDemo.channelId";
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Intent notificationIntent = new Intent(context, NotificationActivity.class);
String passed = intent.getStringExtra("test");
String passed2 = intent.getStringExtra("test2");
TaskStackBuilder stackBuilder = TaskStackBuilder.create(context);
stackBuilder.addParentStack(NotificationActivity.class);
stackBuilder.addNextIntent(notificationIntent);
String messageBody = "Your event " + passed + " is about to start in 15 minutes, in room "+passed2;
PendingIntent pendingIntent = stackBuilder.getPendingIntent(0, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
Notification.Builder builder = new Notification.Builder(context);
builder.setStyle(new Notification.BigTextStyle(builder)
.bigText(messageBody)
.setBigContentTitle("UA Reloaded Event Starting")
.setSummaryText("Tap To View Info"))
.setContentText(messageBody)
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher)
.setDefaults(Notification.DEFAULT_SOUND | Notification.DEFAULT_VIBRATE)
.setPriority(Notification.PRIORITY_MAX);
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.O) {
builder.setChannelId(CHANNEL_ID);
}
NotificationManager notificationManager = (NotificationManager) context.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.O) {
String name = "NotificationDemo";
String description = "NotificationDemo";
int importance = NotificationManager.IMPORTANCE_HIGH; //Important for heads-up notification
NotificationChannel channel = new NotificationChannel("1", name, importance);
channel.setDescription(description);
channel.setShowBadge(true);
channel.setLockscreenVisibility(Notification.VISIBILITY_PUBLIC);
// NotificationManager notificationManager = getSystemService(NotificationManager.class);
notificationManager.createNotificationChannel(channel);
}
notificationManager.notify(0, builder.build());
}
}
You updated your channel importance, which is not possible as stated in the documentation (https://developer.android.com/training/notify-user/channels#CreateChannel).
So your problem should be resolved by changing the
channelId
to something other than"1"
, as theid
s for Channels must be unique.
