Full-Screen Incoming Calls Notification - Only Shown Small Dialog

[davidnardya]

Description

I am trying to change the incoming calls notification to present a full screen designed view and not a simple notification at the top of the screen. I understand Android OS now blocks services from starting the activity, and when I tried to use full screen intent there was no change to the size of the notification. I also tried to create a custom view for the notification but still no change.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Install demp app
2. Get an incoming call

Code

Here's the notification creation code:

NotificationCompat.Builder(
            applicationContext, channelId
        )
            .setSmallIcon(R.drawable.centerya_logo_just_c_1024_1024)
            .setContentTitle(applicationContext.applicationInfo.name)
            .setContentText(text)
            .setContent(contentView)
            .setCategory(Notification.CATEGORY_CALL)
            .setExtras(extras)
            .setAutoCancel(true)
            .setVisibility(NotificationCompat.VISIBILITY_PUBLIC)
            .setPriority(NotificationCompat.PRIORITY_MAX)
            .addAction(R.drawable.baseline_close_24,"Decline", piRejectIntent)
            .addAction(R.drawable.baseline_check_24,"Answer", piAcceptIntent)
            .setFullScreenIntent(pendingIntent, true)

Here's the custom view:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:gravity="center"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools">

    <ImageView
        android:id="@+id/caller_image"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:src="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:contentDescription="caller_image" />

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/caller_title"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        tools:text="Caller"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:textSize="20sp"
        android:textColor="@color/black"
        />
</LinearLayout>

Here are the manifest permissions:

<uses-feature
        android:name="android.hardware.telephony"
        android:required="true" />

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.MANAGE_OWN_CALLS" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE_PHONE_CALL" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONS"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.USE_FULL_SCREEN_INTENT" />

And the services in the manifest:

<service
            android:name=".services.IncomingCallNotificationService"
            android:enabled="true"
            android:exported="false" >
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="ACTION_ACCEPT" />
                <action android:name="ACTION_REJECT" />
            </intent-filter>
        </service>
        <service
            android:name=".services.VoiceConnectionService"
            android:exported="false"
            android:label="@string/app_name"
            android:permission="android.permission.BIND_TELECOM_CONNECTION_SERVICE" >
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.telecom.ConnectionService" />
            </intent-filter>
        </service>
        <service
            android:name=".services.VoiceFirebaseMessagingService"
            android:exported="false"
            android:foregroundServiceType="phoneCall"
            android:stopWithTask="false" >
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="com.google.firebase.INSTANCE_ID_EVENT" />
                <action android:name="com.google.firebase.MESSAGING_EVENT" />
            </intent-filter>
        </service>

@davidnardya This isn't an SDK question, this is a more general Android development question... That being said, I don't believe you can make a full screen notification. At best, you can make a notification that when the user taps on it, it launches a full screen activity.

With the latest Android SDK (34) you can make full screen notifications more info can be found here..

I would recommend modifying our Quickstart where we put up notifications and adapt it to fit your needs
