Notification.Builder and FLAG_INSISTENT

Question

I like the ease of use of Notification.Builder but it seems not support the insistent mode of notifications.

Is there a way to set the flag FLAG_INSISTENT from the Notification.Builder?

Not directly. There is a private setFlag() method on Notification.Builder -- I do not know why they did not expose it.

However, you can configure the rest of the Notification via a Builder, then adjust the flags on the completed Notification object.

Or, grab the code for Notification.Builder and modify it to create your own that exposes setFlag(), or adds setInsistent(), etc.

Thanks, adjusting the flags on the completed Notification object is the workaround I'm using. I was wondering if there was a way to set the flag from the Notification.Builder but, apparently, it seems not. – Roberto Leinardi Jun 14 '12 at 13:29
FLAG_INSISTENT is not working in Oreo above.can you please suggest something? – Pooja Shukla Feb 29 '20 at 06:54
@PoojaShukla: If there is anything like `FLAG_INSISTENT`, it likely would be part of the notification channel, as that is where sounds are configured. However, I do not know of an option that would work like `FLAG_INSISTENT` used to. But, I have not researched the point much. – CommonsWare Feb 29 '20 at 12:17

Maybe my answer can be useful to someone else

You can use:

NotificationCompat.Builder builder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(getContext());

builder.setContentTitle("Title")
       .setContentText("Hello world")
       .setSmallIcon(R.mipmap.ic_launcher);

Notification notification = builder.build();
notification.flags = Notification.FLAG_INSISTENT;
final NotificationManager notificationManager = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
mNotificationManager.notify(ID, notification)
