Overview

Notification style for custom views that are decorated by the system.

Instead of providing a notification that is completely custom, a developer can set this style and still obtain system decorations like the notification header with the expand affordance and actions.

Use NotificationCompat.Builder.setCustomContentView(RemoteViews), NotificationCompat.Builder.setCustomBigContentView(RemoteViews) and NotificationCompat.Builder.setCustomHeadsUpContentView(RemoteViews) to set the corresponding custom views to display.

To use this style with your Notification, feed it to NotificationCompat.Builder like so:

 Notification noti = new NotificationCompat.Builder()
     .setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_stat_player)
     .setLargeIcon(albumArtBitmap))
     .setCustomContentView(contentView)
     .setStyle(new NotificationCompat.DecoratedCustomViewStyle())
     .build();
 

If you are using this style, consider using the corresponding styles like or in your custom views in order to get the correct styling on each platform version.

Methods

Returns:

Whether custom content views are displayed inline in the style

Applies the compat style data to the framework Notification in a backwards compatible way. All other data should be stored within the Notification's extras.

A helper method to get texts from a Notification's custom content view made by either NotificationCompat.Builder.setCustomBigContentView(RemoteViews), NotificationCompat.Builder.setCustomContentView(RemoteViews) or NotificationCompat.Builder.setCustomHeadsUpContentView(RemoteViews). Note that this method will not look for Notification made by NotificationCompat.Builder.setPublicVersion(Notification).

Parameters:

context: A that will be used to inflate the content view from the notification.
notification: The notification from which to get texts from its content view.

Returns:

A list of text from the notification custom content view made by the above method. Note that the method only returns a list of text from one of the custom view as the above when it set, meaning when multiple custom content views has set in a notification, the returned list will base on the detail of custom content and usage as the priority: First is Notification, then is Notification when no big content view has set, or Notification when set. Otherwise, returns the empty list.
