So I have a notification in my app. The notification has some text and an image which I fetch from a LruCache which I populate at the start. The problem is that on Kit-Kat devices (Moto E, XIomi) in my case, the notification stops updating if it has already updated a fixed number of times, lets say n (this n is usually fixed for each device, and is <10). This is my code for updating
String title = CommonUtils.getTitleFromID(id, context);
Bitmap bitmap = DataProvider.getInstance(context).diskLruImageCache.getBitmap(id + "");
if (playbackPaused) {
bigView.setImageViewResource(R.id.pause, R.drawable.pause_noti);
smallView.setImageViewResource(R.id.pause1, R.drawable.pause_noti);
remoteViews.setImageViewResource(R.id.pause2, R.drawable.pause_noti);
playbackPaused = false;
Log.d(TAG, "noti-false");
}
bigView.setTextViewText(R.id.title, title + "");
bigView.setImageViewBitmap(R.id.img, bitmap);
smallView.setTextViewText(R.id.title1, title);
smallView.setImageViewBitmap(R.id.img1, bitmap);
mNotificationManager.notify(NOTIFY_ID, notification);
I tried with a bit of debugging and all and I found that if I do not set the bitmap, (and just do
bitmap = null) then everything works fine.
I don't understand why this is happening. This issue is android version specific since I already tested on Nexus 5 (Lollipop) and other Android 5 phones but there this doesn't happen. Does someone have any idea what the reason behind this might be?
I am not expecting an exact situation. Even some ideas in the right direction will be very helpful. Thanks !!
I am also adding the code for my DiskLruCache in case that might be needed,
