Notification settings

Mobile Messaging supports configuration of Notifications provided by the library. Different Notification settings are available via NotificationSettings.Builder.

Configure Notification Settings

Callback Activity

It is possible to define custom callback activity to open when user taps on notification. By default the library will use default activity for the application package.

NotificationSettings.Builder(context)
.withCallbackActivity(MyActivity::class.java)
.build()

expand to see Java code

new NotificationSettings.Builder(context)
.withCallbackActivity(MyActivity.class)
.build();

Notification Title

Default notification title is application name (R.string.app_name). However custom notification title can also be used in notifications.

NotificationSettings.Builder(this)
    .withDefaultTitle("MyCustomNotificationTitle")
    .build()

expand to see Java code

new NotificationSettings.Builder(this)
    .withDefaultTitle("MyCustomNotificationTitle")
    .build();

Note:

To force custom title and message body for In-App chat notifications please read Customize notifications

Notification Icon

Default notification icon is launcher icon (R.mipmap.ic_launcher). Custom icon resource id can also be supplied to overwrite default behavior. If supplied, the icon should follow guidelines described here: https://m2.material.io/design/iconography/system-icons.html#design-principles

NotificationSettings.Builder(this)
    .withDefaultIcon(R.drawable.ic_my_notification_icon)
    .build()

    .withColor(ContextCompat.getColor(this, R.color.red))
    .build()

new NotificationSettings.Builder(this)
    .withColor(ContextCompat.getColor(this, R.color.red))

Intent Flags

It is possible to configure notification intent flags. Provided flags are delegated to Intent.addFlags(). Default flags are Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP.

NotificationSettings.Builder(this)
.withIntentFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP)
.build()

Notification Auto-cancel

Notification auto-cancel parameter can be set via Notification Settings by calling an appropriate Builder method. The default value of auto-cancel is true. This parameter is forwarded to NotificationCompat.Builder.setAutoCancel().

NotificationSettings.Builder(this)

.withoutNotificationAutoCancel()
.build()

new NotificationSettings.Builder(this)
.withoutNotificationAutoCancel()

Set Notification Settings

Constructed Notification Settings can be applied via MobileMessaging.Builder.

                .withDisplayNotification(NotificationSettings.Builder(application)
                    .withoutNotificationAutoCancel()
                    .withoutForegroundNotification()
                    .build())
                .build()

MobileMessaging mobileMessaging = new MobileMessaging.Builder(application)

                    .build())
