Notify-Android

Android library that simplifies creating & showing app notifications. Change the notification's icon or add a circular image or a picture to the notification using the Notify class.

Installation

Add jitpack.io to your root build.gradle:

allprojects {
    repositories {
        ...
        maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
    }
}

Include the dependency in your app build.gradle:

dependencies {
    implementation 'com.github.isradeleon:Notify-Android:1.0.5' // updated for Android X
}

Notification channel for API >= 26

You may need to add the default notification channel to your app/res/values/strings.xml file:

<resources>

    <string translatable="false" name="notify_channel_id">MyDefaultChannelID</string>

    <string translatable="false" name="notify_channel_name">MyDefaultChannelName</string>

    <string translatable="false" name="notify_channel_description">MyDefaultChannelDescription</string>

</resources>

Basic usage

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

    Notify.build(getApplicationContext())

        /*
         * Set notification title and content
         * */
        .setTitle("Jill Zhao")
        .setContent("Hi! So I meet you today?")

        /*
         * Set small icon from drawable resource
         * */
        .setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_notifications_none_white_24dp)
        .setColor(R.color.colorPrimary)

        /*
         * Set notification large icon from drawable resource or URL
         * (make sure you added INTERNET permission to AndroidManifest.xml)
         * */
        .setLargeIcon("https://images.pexels.com/photos/139829/pexels-photo-139829.jpeg?auto=compress&cs=tinysrgb&dpr=2&h=150&w=440")

        /*
         * Circular large icon
         * */
        .largeCircularIcon()

        /*
         * Add a picture from drawable resource or URL
         * (INTERNET permission needs to be added to AndroidManifest.xml)
         * */
        .setPicture("https://images.pexels.com/photos/1058683/pexels-photo-1058683.jpeg?auto=compress&cs=tinysrgb&dpr=2&h=650&w=940")
