如何制作自定义通知？

Question

I have been struggling in these last two days to find a way to make a custom android notification. I have passed by the remote views solution but this solution is very limited to changing the layout only. What I need is to put a custom view(other than text views, image views, and these typical views that are usually seen in a notification) in a notification. Is that possible?

I do not know what you mean by this. The RemoteViews can certainly have more than a layout manager (eg, LinearLayout ); otherwise, it would pointless.

You are welcome to try whatever RemoteViews supports, minus the AdapterView subclasses (eg, ListView ). Interactive widgets, such as buttons, will be unreliable, particularly on Android 1.x/2.x, as vendor customizations to the notification tray sometimes prevent interactive widgets from working properly.

A simplest example of custom notification

 private void showCustomeNoti() { NotificationCompat.Builder mBuilder = new NotificationCompat.Builder( this).setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher); RemoteViews mContentView = new RemoteViews(getPackageName(), R.layout.custome_notification_layout); mBuilder.setContent(mContentView); NotificationManager mNotificationManager = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE); mNotificationManager.notify(100, mBuilder.build()); } 

Call this function when you want to show custom notification.
