You need to set the priority to high or max in order to trigger a heads-up notification on Android versions that support it:

Notification notify = new NotificationCompat.Builder(context)
    // ...
    .setPriority(NotificationCompat.PRIORITY_HIGH)
    .setDefaults(NotificationCompat.DEFAULT_VIBRATE)
    .build();

As stated in the official Notification documentation the notification also needs either a vibration or a ringtone to produce a heads-up notification:

The notification has high priority and uses ringtones or vibrations

Also see this question for more information on heads-up notifications.
