This document refers to deprecated parts of the platform and has been left intact to help customers with legacy integrations. In order to access the latest platform features and documentation, please go to https://docs.sentiance.com.

The example below shows how to create a notification that can be passed to . We use the android.support.v7.app.NotificationCompat class to build a notification suitable for both old and new Android versions.

The notification channel, necessary for Android 8 and above, has the channel importance set to IMPORTANCE_LOW, the minimum by Google for notifications used for running services.

private Notification createNotification() {
    // PendingIntent that will start your application's MainActivity
    Intent intent = new Intent(context, MainActivity.class);
    PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0, intent, 0);
     
    // On Oreo and above, you must create a notification channel
    String channelId = "channel-id";
    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.O) {
        NotificationChannel channel = new NotificationChannel(channelId, "Channel name", NotificationManager.IMPORTANCE_LOW);
        channel.setShowBadge(false);
        NotificationManager notificationManager = (NotificationManager) context.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
        notificationManager.createNotificationChannel(channel);
    }

    return new NotificationCompat.Builder(context, channelId)
            .setContentTitle(context.getString(R.string.app_name) + " is running")
                .setContentText("Touch to open.")
                .setContentIntent(pendingIntent)
                .setShowWhen(false)
                .setSmallIcon(R.mipmap.ic_launcher)
                .setPriority(NotificationCompat.PRIORITY_MIN)
                .build();
}
