I am very new to android app development. With the help of so many tutorials, i created an app with webview, actionbar and GCM. Everything works fine. But i am getting a warning "The constructor notification is deprecated". I have gone through notification.builder. but i am not able to modify my codes with new notification buider. Can someone help me.....
public class GCMIntentService extends GCMBaseIntentService {
private static final String TAG = "GCMIntentService";
public GCMIntentService() {
super(SENDER_ID);
}
/**
* Method called on device registered
**/
@Override
protected void onRegistered(Context context, String registrationId) {
Log.i(TAG, "Device registered: regId = " + registrationId);
displayMessage(context, "Your device registred with GCM");
Log.d("NAME"," "+ MainActivity.name);
ServerUtilities.register(context, MainActivity.name, MainActivity.email, MainActivity.AndroidVersion, MainActivity.AndroidID, MainActivity.manufacturer, MainActivity.model, registrationId);
}
/**
* Method called on device un registred
* */
@Override
protected void onUnregistered(Context context, String registrationId) {
Log.i(TAG, "Device unregistered");
displayMessage(context, getString(R.string.gcm_unregistered));
ServerUtilities.unregister(context, registrationId);
}
/**
* Method called on Receiving a new message
* */
@Override
protected void onMessage(Context context, Intent intent) {
Log.i(TAG, "Received message");
String message = intent.getExtras().getString("price");
displayMessage(context, message);
// notifies user
generateNotification(context, message);
}
/**
* Method called on receiving a deleted message
* */
@Override
protected void onDeletedMessages(Context context, int total) {
Log.i(TAG, "Received deleted messages notification");
String message = getString(R.string.gcm_deleted, total);
displayMessage(context, message);
// notifies user
generateNotification(context, message);
}
/**

@Override
public void onError(Context context, String errorId) {
Log.i(TAG, "Received error: " + errorId);
displayMessage(context, getString(R.string.gcm_error, errorId));
}
@Override
protected boolean onRecoverableError(Context context, String errorId) {
// log message
Log.i(TAG, "Received recoverable error: " + errorId);
displayMessage(context, getString(R.string.gcm_recoverable_error,
errorId));
return super.onRecoverableError(context, errorId);
}
/**

private static void generateNotification(Context context, String message) {

}

You're attempting to use the constructor for Notification which is deprecated as of API 11. Meaning it isn't supported any longer and should not be used. use Notification.Builder instead https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Notification.Builder.html
Notification noti = new Notification.Builder(mContext)
.setContentTitle("New mail from " + sender.toString())
.setContentText(subject)
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.new_mail)
.setLargeIcon(aBitmap)
.setContentIntent(yourPendingIntent)
.build();
You currently have the following :
Notification notification = new Notification(icon, message, when);
This constructor is deprecated in favor of the Notification.Builder which would look like the following :
Notification notification = new Notification.Builder(context)
.setContentText(message)
.setSmallIcon(icon)
.setWhen(when)
.build();
As for the original question, this class works fine, if your system supports GCMBaseIntentService:
package ...;
import android.app.Notification;
import android.app.NotificationManager;
import android.app.PendingIntent;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.util.Log;

import static com.example.taxiprofessional.CommonUtilities.SENDER_ID;
import static com.example.taxiprofessional.CommonUtilities.displayMessage;
public class GCMIntentService extends GCMBaseIntentService {
private static final String TAG = "GCMIntentService";
public GCMIntentService() {
super(SENDER_ID);
}
/**

**/
@Override
protected void onRegistered(Context context, String registrationId) {
Log.i(TAG, "Device registered: regId = " + registrationId);
displayMessage(context, "Your device registred with GCM");
AccountInformation info=AccountInformation.sharedInstance();
ServerUtilities.register(context, info.email, info.password, registrationId);
}
/**
* Method called on device un registred
* */
@Override
protected void onUnregistered(Context context, String registrationId) {
Log.i(TAG, "Device unregistered");
displayMessage(context, getString(R.string.gcm_unregistered));
ServerUtilities.unregister(context, registrationId);
}
/**
* Method called on Receiving a new message
* */
@Override
protected void onMessage(Context context, Intent intent) {
Log.i(TAG, "Received message");
String message = intent.getExtras().getString("price");
displayMessage(context, message);
// notifies user
generateNotification(context, message);
}
/**
* Method called on receiving a deleted message
* */
@Override
protected void onDeletedMessages(Context context, int total) {
Log.i(TAG, "Received deleted messages notification");
String message = getString(R.string.gcm_deleted, total);
displayMessage(context, message);
// notifies user
generateNotification(context, message);
}
/**

@Override
public void onError(Context context, String errorId) {
Log.i(TAG, "Received error: " + errorId);
displayMessage(context, getString(R.string.gcm_error, errorId));
}
@Override
protected boolean onRecoverableError(Context context, String errorId) {
// log message
Log.i(TAG, "Received recoverable error: " + errorId);
displayMessage(context, getString(R.string.gcm_recoverable_error,
errorId));
return super.onRecoverableError(context, errorId);
}
/**

I tried following tutorial at:
http://javapapers.com/android/google-cloud-messaging-gcm-for-android-and-push-notifications/
and in fact I seem able to register and the sending of notifications gives no errors as you may see at:
http://push.taxiprofessional.net/android/testNotification.php
Yet no notification arrives. Has anyone used that and may help to debunk it?
