NotificationCompat android - how to show only Large icon without small

Question

When I add notification:

        NotificationCompat.Builder mBuilder =
                            new NotificationCompat.Builder(this)  
              .setSmallIcon(R.drawable.plus)
.setContentTitle(title)
.setAutoCancel(true) 
.setContentText(text)
.setSound(RingtoneManager .getDefaultUri(RingtoneManager.TYPE_NOTIFICATION))
.setLargeIcon(bm);

I see large icon and small in it: enter image description here

How can I set only large Icon, without small. If use only setLargeIcon, I don't see notification at all, just sound alert.

i want to this type of notification like "E" image and than circle in corner of E image please help i cannot get. — Kevan Aghera, Jun 28 '17 at 09:38

Small icon is mandatory. If you don't set a large one you'll get your small icon bigger in the middle of the circle with the color of your choice (setColor).

If i were you i'd put that blank E on a transparent background for smallicon, and set a red color for the circle.

get the small icon id and then try to hide it

int smallIconId = ctx.getResources().getIdentifier("right_icon", "id", android.R.class.getPackage().getName());
if (smallIconId != 0) { 
    if (notification.contentView!=null)
        notification.contentView.setViewVisibility(smallIconId, View.INVISIBLE);
}

try looking at this post it will help too

i test the code on api 18,23 (samsung j1,galaxy S6) work fine

notice : small icon is required one that means you should set value for that , but you can try the code above to hide small icon ,... – ShahinFasihi Apr 28 '16 at 19:46
Or just set a transparent one and don't make crazy asumptions about the icon id not changing name – Xavier Falempin May 12 '16 at 12:41
i did not try to transparent the small icon but working with id was good for me ;) but finally it is your way if you say so – ShahinFasihi May 13 '16 at 21:25
Setting a transparent icon doesn't work as you don't see you icon in the status bar then. Instead you should create a custom content view and pass it to the builder with setContentView – Marcel Derks Sep 22 '16 at 11:02
Above code helped to hide the small icon when user pull the notification. But in lint shows "notification.contentView" is deprecated, any alternative for this to remove warning? – ashok reddy Dec 03 '16 at 13:59
@ashokreddy I use `@SuppressWarnings("deprecation")` and I don't worry about it unless I need ro raise the API levels. – soger Apr 21 '17 at 11:01

Based on the previous answer you can also hide the expended view too :

int smallIconId = AnghamiApp.getContext().getResources().getIdentifier("right_icon", "id", android.R.class.getPackage().getName());
            if (smallIconId != 0) {
                notification.contentView.setViewVisibility(smallIconId, View.INVISIBLE);
                notification.bigContentView.setViewVisibility(smallIconId, View.INVISIBLE);
            }

You can create a custom notification and then show whatever you want in the large notification area. See and example here TutorialsFace: Build all types of Notifications in Android
