Must the Notifications style be the one of BigTextStyle, BigPictureStyle, InboxStyle and MessagingStyle?

Question

I'm learning Notifications, I use Android Studio 4.0 with latest androidx.core.app.NotificationManagerCompat.

There is a sample code about Notifications in the project user-interface-samples.

I find there are many differents about Notifications between this androidx and previous API.

Must the Notifications style be the one of BigTextStyleNotification , BigPictureStyleNotification , InboxStyleNotification and MessagingStyleNotification ?

Answer 1

Following are the notification styles available:

Notification.BigPictureStyle, Notification.BigTextStyle, Notification.DecoratedCustomViewStyle, Notification.InboxStyle, Notification.MediaStyle, Notification.MessagingStyle

Just for information purposes, to create a notification without hustle and get all predefined formatting in one place, just do the following:

1. Go to the Project Tab of android studio and right click.
2. Click on New -> UI Component -> Notification
3. Enter the required notification name

To call this notification just enter the following:

<NotificationClassName>.createNotification(getApplicationContext());
