This type of Notification is deprecated as seen from documents:
@java.lang.Deprecated
public Notification(int icon, java.lang.CharSequence tickerText, long when) { /* compiled code */ }
public Notification(android.os.Parcel parcel) { /* compiled code */ }
@java.lang.Deprecated
public void setLatestEventInfo(android.content.Context context, java.lang.CharSequence contentTitle, java.lang.CharSequence contentText, android.app.PendingIntent contentIntent) { /* compiled code */ }
Better way
You can send a notification like this:
// prepare intent which is triggered if the
// notification is selected
Intent intent = new Intent(this, NotificationReceiver.class);
PendingIntent pIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, intent, 0);
// build notification
// the addAction re-use the same intent to keep the example short
Notification n = new Notification.Builder(this)
.setContentTitle("New mail from " + "test@gmail.com")
.setContentText("Subject")
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.icon)
.setContentIntent(pIntent)
.setAutoCancel(true)
.addAction(R.drawable.icon, "Call", pIntent)
.addAction(R.drawable.icon, "More", pIntent)
.addAction(R.drawable.icon, "And more", pIntent).build();
NotificationManager notificationManager =
(NotificationManager) getSystemService(NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
notificationManager.notify(0, n);
Best way
Code above needs minimum API level 11 (Android 3.0).
If your minimum API level is lower than 11, you should you use support library's NotificationCompat class like this.
So if your minimum target API level is 4+ (Android 1.6+) use this:
import android.support.v4.app.NotificationCompat;
-------------
NotificationCompat.Builder builder =
new NotificationCompat.Builder(this)
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.mylogo)
.setContentTitle("My Notification Title")
.setContentText("Something interesting happened");
int NOTIFICATION_ID = 12345;
Intent targetIntent = new Intent(this, MyFavoriteActivity.class);
PendingIntent contentIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, targetIntent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
builder.setContentIntent(contentIntent);
NotificationManager nManager = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
nManager.notify(NOTIFICATION_ID, builder.build());
