Android how to show notification on screen

user606669 picture user606669 · Sep 16, 2011 · Viewed 97k times · Source

I've been working on push notifications and I am able to implement it and display it on status bar, the problem I am facing is that I want to display it even if the phone is lock, Under the lock screen where it says ("drag to unlock"), I have seen notifications like that but cant find any example to that.

Example: Just like when you received a missed call , it will show it under the lock button on your screen.

Code:

String ns = Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE;
NotificationManager mNotificationManager = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(ns);
int icon = R.drawable.icon_launcher;
CharSequence tickerText = "MyApplication";
long when = System.currentTimeMillis();
Notification notification = new Notification(icon, tickerText, when);
notification.defaults |= Notification.DEFAULT_SOUND|Notification.DEFAULT_VIBRATE|Notification.DEFAULT_LIGHTS;;
CharSequence contentTitle = this.title;
CharSequence contentText = this.message;
Intent notificationIntent = new Intent(this, MainActivity.class);
PendingIntent contentIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, notificationIntent, 0);
notification.setLatestEventInfo(context, contentTitle, contentText, contentIntent);
mNotificationManager.notify(NOTICE_ID, notification);

Create Notification using NotificationCompat.Builder

NotificationCompat.Builder mBuilder =   new NotificationCompat.Builder(this)
            .setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher) // notification icon
            .setContentTitle("Notification!") // title for notification
            .setContentText("Hello word") // message for notification
            .setAutoCancel(true); // clear notification after click
Intent intent = new Intent(this, MainActivity.class);
PendingIntent pi = PendingIntent.getActivity(this,0,intent,Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
mBuilder.setContentIntent(pi);
NotificationManager mNotificationManager =
                    (NotificationManager) getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
mNotificationManager.notify(0, mBuilder.build());
