Notification not showing in Oreo

Question

Normal Notification Builder doesn't show notifications on Android O.

How could I show notification on Android 8 Oreo?

Is there any new piece of code to add for showing notification on Android O?

Answer 1

Here i post some quick solution function with intent handling

public void showNotification(Context context, String title, String body, Intent intent) {
    NotificationManager notificationManager = (NotificationManager) context.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);

    int notificationId = 1;
    String channelId = "channel-01";
    String channelName = "Channel Name";
    int importance = NotificationManager.IMPORTANCE_HIGH;

    if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.O) {
        NotificationChannel mChannel = new NotificationChannel(
                channelId, channelName, importance);
        notificationManager.createNotificationChannel(mChannel);
    }

    NotificationCompat.Builder mBuilder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(context, channelId)
            .setSmallIcon(R.mipmap.ic_launcher)
            .setContentTitle(title)
            .setContentText(body);

    TaskStackBuilder stackBuilder = TaskStackBuilder.create(context);
    stackBuilder.addNextIntent(intent);
    PendingIntent resultPendingIntent = stackBuilder.getPendingIntent(
            0,
            PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT
    );
    mBuilder.setContentIntent(resultPendingIntent);

    notificationManager.notify(notificationId, mBuilder.build());
}

This is bug in firebase api version 11.8.0, So if you reduce API version you will not face this issue.

Try this Code :

public class FirebaseMessagingServices extends com.google.firebase.messaging.FirebaseMessagingService {
    private static final String TAG = "MY Channel";
    Bitmap bitmap;

    @Override
    public void onMessageReceived(RemoteMessage remoteMessage) {
        super.onMessageReceived(remoteMessage);
        Utility.printMessage(remoteMessage.getNotification().getBody());

        // Check if message contains a data payload.
        if (remoteMessage.getData().size() > 0) {
            Log.d(TAG, "Message data payload: " + remoteMessage.getData());

            String title = remoteMessage.getData().get("title");
            String body = remoteMessage.getData().get("body");
            String message = remoteMessage.getData().get("message");
            String imageUri = remoteMessage.getData().get("image");
            String msg_id = remoteMessage.getData().get("msg-id");
          

            Log.d(TAG, "1: " + title);
            Log.d(TAG, "2: " + body);
            Log.d(TAG, "3: " + message);
            Log.d(TAG, "4: " + imageUri);
          

            if (imageUri != null)
                bitmap = getBitmapfromUrl(imageUri);

            }

            sendNotification(message, bitmap, title, msg_id);
                    
        }


    }

    private void sendNotification(String message, Bitmap image, String title,String msg_id) {
        int notifyID = 0;
        try {
            notifyID = Integer.parseInt(msg_id);
        } catch (NumberFormatException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

        String CHANNEL_ID = "my_channel_01";            // The id of the channel.
        Intent intent = new Intent(this, HomeActivity.class);
        intent.putExtra("title", title);
        intent.putExtra("message", message);
        intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);


        PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0 /* Request code */, intent,
                PendingIntent.FLAG_ONE_SHOT);

        Uri defaultSoundUri = RingtoneManager.getDefaultUri(RingtoneManager.TYPE_NOTIFICATION);
        NotificationCompat.Builder notificationBuilder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this, "01")
                .setContentTitle(title)
                .setSmallIcon(R.mipmap.ic_notification)
                .setStyle(new NotificationCompat.BigTextStyle()
                        .bigText(message))
                .setContentText(message)
                .setAutoCancel(true)
                .setSound(defaultSoundUri)
                .setChannelId(CHANNEL_ID)
                .setContentIntent(pendingIntent);

        if (image != null) {
            notificationBuilder.setStyle(new NotificationCompat.BigPictureStyle()   //Set the Image in Big picture Style with text.
                    .bigPicture(image)
                    .setSummaryText(message)
                    .bigLargeIcon(null));
        }


        NotificationManager notificationManager =
                (NotificationManager) getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);

        if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.O) {       // For Oreo and greater than it, we required Notification Channel.
           CharSequence name = "My New Channel";                   // The user-visible name of the channel.
            int importance = NotificationManager.IMPORTANCE_HIGH;

            NotificationChannel channel = new NotificationChannel(CHANNEL_ID,name, importance); //Create Notification Channel
            notificationManager.createNotificationChannel(channel);
        }

        notificationManager.notify(notifyID /* ID of notification */, notificationBuilder.build());
    }

    public Bitmap getBitmapfromUrl(String imageUrl) {     //This method returns the Bitmap from Url;
        try {
            URL url = new URL(imageUrl);
            HttpURLConnection connection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
            connection.setDoInput(true);
            connection.connect();
            InputStream input = connection.getInputStream();
            Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(input);
            return bitmap;

        } catch (Exception e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
            return null;

        }

    }

}

Answer 4

In android Oreo,notification app is done by using channels and NotificationHelper class.It should have a channel id and channel name.

First u have to create a NotificationHelper Class

public class NotificationHelper extends ContextWrapper {

private static final String EDMT_CHANNEL_ID="com.example.safna.notifier1.EDMTDEV";
private static final String EDMT_CHANNEL_NAME="EDMTDEV Channel";
private NotificationManager manager;

public  NotificationHelper(Context base)
{
    super(base);
    createChannels();
}
private void createChannels()
{
    NotificationChannel edmtChannel=new NotificationChannel(EDMT_CHANNEL_ID,EDMT_CHANNEL_NAME,NotificationManager.IMPORTANCE_DEFAULT);
    edmtChannel.enableLights(true);
    edmtChannel.enableVibration(true);
    edmtChannel.setLightColor(Color.GREEN);
    edmtChannel.setLockscreenVisibility(Notification.VISIBILITY_PRIVATE);

    getManager().createNotificationChannel(edmtChannel);

}
public NotificationManager getManager()
{
   if (manager==null)
       manager=(NotificationManager)getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
   return manager;

}
public Notification.Builder getEDMTChannelNotification(String title,String body)
{
    return new Notification.Builder(getApplicationContext(),EDMT_CHANNEL_ID)
            .setContentText(body)
            .setContentTitle(title)
            .setSmallIcon(R.mipmap.ic_launcher_round)
            .setAutoCancel(true);
}

}

Create a button in activity xml file,then In the main activity

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    helper=new NotificationHelper(this);

    btnSend=(Button)findViewById(R.id.btnSend);

    btnSend.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            String title="Title";
            String content="Content";
            Notification.Builder builder=helper.getEDMTChannelNotification(title,content);
            helper.getManager().notify(new Random().nextInt(),builder.build());
        }
    });

}

Then run ur project

Answer 5

Android Notification Demo App for Android O as well as lower API versions. Here is best demo app on GitHub-Demo 1 and GitHub-Demo 2.

Answer 6

In Android O it's a must to use a channel with your Notification Builder

below is a sample code :

// Sets an ID for the notification, so it can be updated.
int notifyID = 1; 
String CHANNEL_ID = "my_channel_01";// The id of the channel. 
CharSequence name = getString(R.string.channel_name);// The user-visible name of the channel.
int importance = NotificationManager.IMPORTANCE_HIGH;
NotificationChannel mChannel = new NotificationChannel(CHANNEL_ID, name, importance);
// Create a notification and set the notification channel.
Notification notification = new Notification.Builder(MainActivity.this)
            .setContentTitle("New Message")
            .setContentText("You've received new messages.")
            .setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_notify_status)
            .setChannelId(CHANNEL_ID)
            .build();

Or with Handling compatibility by:

NotificationCompat notification =
        new NotificationCompat.Builder(this)
        .setSmallIcon(R.drawable.notification_icon)
        .setContentTitle("My notification")
        .setContentText("Hello World!")
        .setChannelId(CHANNEL_ID).build();



NotificationManager mNotificationManager =
            (NotificationManager) getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
 mNotificationManager.createNotificationChannel(mChannel);

// Issue the notification.
mNotificationManager.notify(notifyID , notification);

or if you want a simple fix then use the following code:

NotificationManager mNotificationManager =
            (NotificationManager) getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.O) {
       mNotificationManager.createNotificationChannel(mChannel);
    }

Updates: NotificationCompat.Builder reference

NotificationCompat.Builder(Context context)

This constructor was deprecated in API level 26.0.0 so you should use

Builder(Context context, String channelId)

so no need to setChannelId with the new constructor.

And you should use the latest of AppCompat library currently 26.0.2

compile "com.android.support:appcompat-v7:26.0.+"
