Notification views
Normal View - A notification in normal view appears in an area that’s up to 64 dp tall. Even if you create a notification with a big view style, it will appear in normal view until it’s expanded.
Content title
Large icon
Content text
Content info
Small icon
Notification time
Normal View Like
Big View - 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. Expanded notifications were first introduced in Android 4.1 JellyBean [API 16]
. Expandable notifications
were designed to support rich notification style objects called Notification.Style
.

I have create notification usingby following http://developer.android.com/wear/notifications/creating.html
Add code for create notification.
// Specify the 'big view' content to display the long
// event description that may not fit the normal content text.
BigTextStyle bigStyle = new NotificationCompat.BigTextStyle();
bigStyle.bigText(eventDescription);
NotificationCompat.Builder notificationBuilder =
new NotificationCompat.Builder(this)
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_event)
.setLargeIcon(BitmapFractory.decodeResource(
getResources(), R.drawable.notif_background))
.setContentTitle(eventTitle)
.setContentText(eventLocation)
.setContentIntent(viewPendingIntent)
.addAction(R.drawable.ic_map,
getString(R.string.map), mapPendingIntent)
.setStyle(bigStyle);
That's called Expanded layouts which is available right from Jelly Bean version.
There are 2 views of Notifications:
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. Expanded notifications were first introduced in Android 4.1 JellyBean [API 16].
In your case, you just want to display big picture in notification, give Notification.BigPictureStyle a try:
Bitmap remote_picture = null;
// Create the style object with BigPictureStyle subclass.
NotificationCompat.BigPictureStyle notiStyle = new
NotificationCompat.BigPictureStyle();
notiStyle.setBigContentTitle("Big Picture Expanded");
notiStyle.setSummaryText("Nice big picture.");
try {
remote_picture = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(
(InputStream) new URL(sample_url).getContent());
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
// Add the big picture to the style.
notiStyle.bigPicture(remote_picture);
you can use NotificationCompat that need remoteview . below i set my custom layout named
activity_downlaodactivity
NotificationManager manager = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
RemoteViews contentView = new RemoteViews(getPackageName(),R.layout.activity_downlaodactivity);
android.support.v4.app.NotificationCompat.Builder mBuilder =
new android.support.v4.app.NotificationCompat.Builder(this)
.setContent(contentView)
manager.notify(0, mBuilder.build());
