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

Following method will show Notification, having big text and freeze enabled( Notification will not get removed even after user swipes ). We need NotificationManager service

public static void showNotificationOngoing(Context context,String title) {
        NotificationManager notificationManager =
                (NotificationManager) context.getSystemService(NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);

        PendingIntent contentIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0,
                new Intent(context, MainActivity.class), PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);

        Notification.Builder notificationBuilder = new Notification.Builder(context)
                .setContentTitle(title + DateFormat.getDateTimeInstance().format(new Date()) + ":" + accuracy)
                .setContentText(addressFragments.toString())
                .setSmallIcon(R.mipmap.ic_launcher)
                .setContentIntent(contentIntent)
                .setOngoing(true)
                .setStyle(new Notification.BigTextStyle().bigText(addressFragments.toString()))
                .setAutoCancel(true);
        notificationManager.notify(3, notificationBuilder.build());
}

Method to Remove Notifications

public static void removeNotification(Context context){
    NotificationManager notificationManager =
            (NotificationManager) context.getSystemService(NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
    notificationManager.cancelAll();
}

In addition to this answer, you need to create the notification channel before it can be used.

  if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.O) {

      /* Create or update. */
      NotificationChannel channel = new NotificationChannel("my_channel_01",
          "Channel human readable title", 
          NotificationManager.IMPORTANCE_DEFAULT);
      mNotificationManager.createNotificationChannel(channel);
  }

Also you need to use channels only if your targetSdkVersion is 26 or higher.

If you are using NotificationCompat.Builder, you also need to update to the beta version of the support library: https://developer.android.com/topic/libraries/support-library/revisions.html#26-0-0-beta2 (to be able to call setChannelId on the compat builder).

Be careful as this library update raises minSdkLevel to 14.

If you can't get the push notification in 26+ SDK version?

your solution is here:

public static void showNotification(Context context, String title, String messageBody) {

        boolean isLoggedIn = SessionManager.getInstance().isLoggedIn();
        Log.e(TAG, "User logged in state: " + isLoggedIn);

        Intent intent = null;
        if (isLoggedIn) {
            //goto notification screen
            intent = new Intent(context, MainActivity.class);
            intent.putExtra(Extras.EXTRA_JUMP_TO, DrawerItems.ITEM_NOTIFICATION);
        } else {
            //goto login screen
            intent = new Intent(context, LandingActivity.class);
        }

        intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
        PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0 /* Request code */, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_ONE_SHOT);

        //Uri defaultSoundUri= RingtoneManager.getDefaultUri(RingtoneManager.TYPE_NOTIFICATION);
        //Bitmap largeIcon = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.ic_app_notification_icon);

        String channel_id = createNotificationChannel(context);

        NotificationCompat.Builder notificationBuilder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(context, channel_id)
                .setContentTitle(title)
                .setContentText(messageBody)
                .setStyle(new NotificationCompat.BigTextStyle().bigText(messageBody))
                /*.setLargeIcon(largeIcon)*/
                .setSmallIcon(R.drawable.app_logo_color) //needs white icon with transparent BG (For all platforms)
                .setColor(ContextCompat.getColor(context, R.color.colorPrimaryDark))
                .setVibrate(new long[]{1000, 1000})
                .setSound(Settings.System.DEFAULT_NOTIFICATION_URI)
                .setContentIntent(pendingIntent)
                .setPriority(Notification.PRIORITY_HIGH)
                .setAutoCancel(true);

        NotificationManager notificationManager = (NotificationManager) context.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
        notificationManager.notify((int) ((new Date(System.currentTimeMillis()).getTime() / 1000L) % Integer.MAX_VALUE) /* ID of notification */, notificationBuilder.build());
    }

public static String createNotificationChannel(Context context) {

        // NotificationChannels are required for Notifications on O (API 26) and above.
        if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.O) {

            // The id of the channel.
            String channelId = "Channel_id";

            // The user-visible name of the channel.
            CharSequence channelName = "Application_name";
            // The user-visible description of the channel.
            String channelDescription = "Application_name Alert";
            int channelImportance = NotificationManager.IMPORTANCE_DEFAULT;
            boolean channelEnableVibrate = true;
//            int channelLockscreenVisibility = Notification.;

            // Initializes NotificationChannel.
            NotificationChannel notificationChannel = new NotificationChannel(channelId, channelName, channelImportance);
            notificationChannel.setDescription(channelDescription);
            notificationChannel.enableVibration(channelEnableVibrate);
//            notificationChannel.setLockscreenVisibility(channelLockscreenVisibility);

            // Adds NotificationChannel to system. Attempting to create an existing notification
            // channel with its original values performs no operation, so it's safe to perform the
            // below sequence.
            NotificationManager notificationManager = (NotificationManager) context.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
            assert notificationManager != null;
            notificationManager.createNotificationChannel(notificationChannel);

            return channelId;
        } else {
            // Returns null for pre-O (26) devices.
            return null;
        }
    }

NotificationCompat.Builder notificationBuilder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(context, channel_id)

-> Here you will get push notification using channel_id in your device which is consist 26+ SDK version.

-> Because, the NotificationCompat.Builder(context) is deprecated method now you will use an updated version which is having two parameters one is context, other is channel_id.

-> NotificationCompat.Builder(context, channel_id) updated method. try it.

-> In 26+ SDK version of device you will create channel_id every time.

private void addNotification() {
                NotificationCompat.Builder builder =
                new NotificationCompat.Builder(this)

Here's how you do it

private fun sendNotification() {
    val notificationId = 100
    val chanelid = "chanelid"
    val intent = Intent(this, MainActivity::class.java)
    intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK or Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TASK)
    val pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, intent, 0)
    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.O) { // you must create a notification channel for API 26 and Above
        val name = "my channel"
        val description = "channel description"
        val importance = NotificationManager.IMPORTANCE_DEFAULT
        val channel = NotificationChannel(chanelid, name, importance);
        channel.setDescription(description);
        // Register the channel with the system; you can't change the importance
        // or other notification behaviors after this
        val notificationManager = getSystemService(NotificationManager::class.java)
        notificationManager.createNotificationChannel(channel)
    }

    val mBuilder = NotificationCompat.Builder(this, chanelid)
            .setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_notification)
            .setContentTitle("Want to Open My App?")
            .setContentText("Open my app and see good things")
            .setPriority(NotificationCompat.PRIORITY_DEFAULT)
            .setContentIntent(pendingIntent)
            .setAutoCancel(true) // cancel the notification when clicked
            .addAction(R.drawable.ic_check, "YES", pendingIntent) //add a btn to the Notification with a corresponding intent

    val notificationManager = NotificationManagerCompat.from(this);
    notificationManager.notify(notificationId, mBuilder.build());
}

Answer 6

For anyone struggling with this after trying the above solutions, ensure that the channel id used when creating the notification channel is identical to the channel id you set in the Notification builder.

const val CHANNEL_ID = "EXAMPLE_CHANNEL_ID"

// create notification channel
val notificationChannel = NotificationChannel(CHANNEL_ID, 
NOTIFICATION_NAME, NotificationManager.IMPORTANCE_HIGH)

// building notification
NotificationCompat.Builder(context)
                    .setSmallIcon(android.R.drawable.ic_input_add)
                    .setContentTitle("Title")
                    .setContentText("Subtitle")   
                    .setPriority(NotificationCompat.PRIORITY_MAX)
                    .setChannelId(CHANNEL_ID)
