Answer 1

When you target Android 8.0 (API level 26) , you must implement one or more notification channels. If your targetSdkVersion is set to 25 or lower, when your app runs on Android 8.0 (API level 26) or higher, it behaves the same as it would on devices running Android 7.1 (API level 25) or lower.

Note: If you target Android 8.0 (API level 26) and post a notification without specifying a notification channel, the notification does not appear and the system logs an error.

Note: You can turn on a new setting in Android 8.0 (API level 26) to display an on-screen warning that appears as a toast when an app targeting Android 8.0 (API level 26) attempts to post without a notification channel. To turn on the setting for a development device running Android 8.0 (API level 26), navigate to Settings > Developer options and enable Show notification channel warnings.

if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.O) {
   NotificationManager notificationManager = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
   String id = "id_product";
   // The user-visible name of the channel.
   CharSequence name = "Product";
   // The user-visible description of the channel.
   String description = "Notifications regarding our products";
   int importance = NotificationManager.IMPORTANCE_MAX;
   NotificationChannel mChannel = new NotificationChannel(id, name, importance);
   // Configure the notification channel.
   mChannel.setDescription(description);
   mChannel.enableLights(true);
   // Sets the notification light color for notifications posted to this
   // channel, if the device supports this feature.
   mChannel.setLightColor(Color.RED);
   notificationManager.createNotificationChannel(mChannel);
}

Creating a Push Notification on Android Oreo

To create a notification, you will use the NotificationCompat.Builder class. The constructor which was used before took only Context as a parameter, but in Android O, the constructor looks like this –

NotificationCompat.Builder(Context context, String channelId)

The following code snippet will show you how to create a notification –

Intent intent1 = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), Ma

inActivity.class);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(getApplicationContext(), 123, intent1, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
NotificationCompat.Builder notificationBuilder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(getApplicationContext(),"id_product")
       .setSmallIcon(R.drawable.flatpnicon) //your app icon
       .setBadgeIconType(R.drawable.flatpnicon) //your app icon
       .setChannelId(id)
       .setContentTitle(extras.get("nt").toString())
       .setAutoCancel(true).setContentIntent(pendingIntent)
       .setNumber(1)
       .setColor(255)
       .setContentText(extras.get("nm").toString())
       .setWhen(System.currentTimeMillis());
notificationManager.notify(1, notificationBuilder.build());

Android O gives you a few more functions to customize your notification –

setNumber() – allows you to set the number displayed in the long-press menu setChannelId() – allows you set the Channel Id explicitly if you are using the old constructor setColor() – allows a RGB value to put a color theme for your notification setBadgeIconType() – allows you to set an icon to be displayed in the long-press menu

for more info check example here

Answer 2

"Starting in Android 8.0 (API level 26), all notifications must be assigned to a channel or it will not appear."

Individual notifications must now be put in a specific channel. ( Reference )

Option 1 [simple] Change the target android version Android 7.1 (API level 25) or lower.

compileSdkVersion 25
    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.fcm"
        minSdkVersion 16
        targetSdkVersion 25
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
        testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
    }

Option 2 If you don't want to change the target version then follow the following method

if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.O) {
     NotificationManager nm = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
     NotificationChannel nc = new NotificationChannel(“[enter your product id]”, “[Name]”,NotificationManager.IMPORTANCE_MAX);
     nc.setDescription(“[your description for the notification]”);
     nc.enableLights(true);
     nc.setLightColor(Color.GREEN);
     nm.createNotificationChannel(nc);
  }

Use following Builder constructor

NotificationCompat.Builder notificationBuilder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(appContext, [id you mentioned above in constructor of NotificationChannel])

Create the notification from the Builder

nm.notify("0", notificationBuilder.build())

Answer 3

  notification = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this, ANDROID_CHANNEL_ID)
                    .setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_small_logo)
                    .setLargeIcon(picture)
                    .setContentTitle("Title")
                    .setContentText("Body")
                    .setContentIntent(pendingIntent)
                    .setAutoCancel(true)
                    .build();

• ANDROID_CHANNEL_ID = "CHANNEL_ID"
• PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(getApplicationContext(), 0, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
• intent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), HomeActivity.class); intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP);

You can use below class for generating notification in lower and upper version of android(Tested from 4.2(Jelly Bean) to 8.1.1(Oreo)).

public final class NotificationHelper extends Thread {

    private Context context;
    private NotificationManager notifManager;
    private NotificationCompat.Builder notification_compact;
    private Notification.Builder notification_builder;
    private int OREO_NOTIFICATION_TYPE = 2; //setting default notificaiton type 2, as 1 is not for constant updating
    //put string channel name and id in **<>**
    private static final String CHANNEL_ONE_ID = "<Your_channel_string_ID>";
    private static final String CHANNEL_ONE_NAME = "<Your channel_String_NAME>";
    private static final String CHANNEL_TWO_ID = "<Your_channel_string_ID_TWO>";
    private static final String CHANNEL_TWO_NAME = "<Your channel_String_NAME_TWO>";
    private String title = "", message = "";


    /**

Just call this class from FCM, with context and msg. As its a thread class you can update the notification constantly also.

Don't forget to call destroyNotification() method, when your work ends.

You can discover and make changes in it, as you like

Answer 5

In oreo version can not add a notification without Channel so need to add following code in firebase notification Service class for oreo notification without channel can not send notification :

private void sendMyNotification(String message,String title) {
    NotificationManager notificationManager =
            (NotificationManager) getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
    Intent intent = new Intent(this, MainActivity.class);
    intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP);
    PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_ONE_SHOT);
    Uri soundUri= RingtoneManager.getDefaultUri(RingtoneManager.TYPE_NOTIFICATION);

    if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.O) {
        @SuppressLint("WrongConstant")
        NotificationChannel notificationChannel=new NotificationChannel("my_notification","n_channel",NotificationManager.IMPORTANCE_MAX);
        notificationChannel.setDescription("description");
        notificationChannel.setName("Channel Name");
        notificationManager.createNotificationChannel(notificationChannel);
    }
        NotificationCompat.Builder notificationBuilder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this)
                .setSmallIcon(R.drawable.listlogo)
                .setLargeIcon(BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.tlogo))
                .setContentTitle(title)
                .setContentText(message)
                .setAutoCancel(true)
                .setSound(soundUri)
                .setContentIntent(pendingIntent)
                .setDefaults(Notification.DEFAULT_ALL)
                .setPriority(NotificationManager.IMPORTANCE_MAX)
                .setOnlyAlertOnce(true)
                .setChannelId("my_notification")
                .setColor(Color.parseColor("#3F5996"));
        //.setProgress(100,50,false);
        notificationManager.notify(0, notificationBuilder.build());
}

Answer 6

Then you are sending notifications without data{} object in your json. That's an old bug(?) or like supposed to work like that. If you don't have any data in your notification, then you won't trigger notifications while your app is on foreground.

Example json:

"notification":
{
  "title": "notification_title",
  "body": "notification_body"
},

"data":
{
  "example":"hey",
  "example2":"you need me."
},

"priority" : "high",

"registration_ids":
[
  "crYjxvFkASE:APA91bGv4GWj9erJ6LsblEzpag5ObkcESEsBthxsJObJ38DhZ3GbSMLlGQK3qS_qvUvrcrg_cqBgCWhBeq1X2wgxO7gmcc_gW0jM4qZYYugF5wraTHwvDKNnjQwn8dpyGEbFMXLOCvE9"
]

Answer 7

only data notifications is handled on android Oreo

try to remove the notification

`
 remove this key notification 
 {"notification":
 {
  "title": "notification_title",
  "body": "notification_body"
 },
 // keep only the data key 
  "data":
 {
  "example":"hey",
  "example2":"you need me."
 },

 "priority" : "high",

 "registration_ids":
    []


`

when the app is in background .. the onRecievedMessage will not called if the payload is contains both notification key and data key ..

so remove the notification .. and only keep the data key .. and it will work well
