I have a MediaPlayer Service, that plays songs even when the app is minimized. Now i wanted to display a "player notification" for the user to interact and that the service doesn't get killed. I have implemented the two functions but the notification just doesn't show up. I hear the notification sound and when i go to app info i see the 2 notification channels but no notification. Is it because i am calling the method in a service?
@Override
public void onCreate() {
createNotificationChannel();
mediaSession = new MediaSessionCompat(this, "PlayerAudio");
showNotification();
}
private void createNotificationChannel(){
if(Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.O){
CharSequence name = "BaywatchBerlin";
String description = "Mit Klaas Heufer Umlauf";
int importance = NotificationManager.IMPORTANCE_LOW;
NotificationChannel notificationChannel = new NotificationChannel("lemubitA", name, importance);
notificationChannel.setDescription(description);
notificationChannel.setSound(null, null);
NotificationManager notificationManager = getSystemService(NotificationManager.class);
notificationManager.createNotificationChannel(notificationChannel);
}
}
public void showNotification(){
Intent intent = new Intent(this, MainActivity.class);
PendingIntent contentIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, intent, 0);
Intent prevIntent = new Intent(this, NotificationReceiver.class).setAction(ACTION_PREV);
PendingIntent prevPendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, 0, prevIntent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
Intent playIntent = new Intent(this, NotificationReceiver.class).setAction(ACTION_PLAY);
PendingIntent playPendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, 0, playIntent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
Intent nextIntent = new Intent(this, NotificationReceiver.class).setAction(ACTION_NEXT);
PendingIntent nextPendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, 0, nextIntent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
Bitmap picture = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.logonew);
Notification notification = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this, CHANNEL_ID_2)
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.logo)
.setLargeIcon(picture)
.setContentTitle(((ServiceState) this.getApplication()).getSongs().get(getPosition()).Name)
.setContentText("Baywatch Berlin")
.addAction(R.drawable.ic_skip_previous, "Previous", prevPendingIntent)
.addAction(R.drawable.ic_play_arrow, "Play", playPendingIntent)
.addAction(R.drawable.ic_skip_next, "Next", nextPendingIntent)
.setStyle(new androidx.media.app.NotificationCompat.MediaStyle()
.setMediaSession(mediaSession.getSessionToken()))
.setPriority(NotificationCompat.PRIORITY_LOW)
.setContentIntent(contentIntent)
.setOnlyAlertOnce(true)
.build();
NotificationManager notificationManager = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
notificationManager.notify(0, notification);
}
