Android Code Snippet Notifications with inline Java code

Johan Schoeman said:

Have never done anything with Notifications so I thought I would fiddle around with it this afternoon.

The only additional library that you need to enable is JavaObject
The project depends on android-support-v4 - see the reference inside the B4A project

B4X:

#AdditionalJar: com.android.support:support-v4

Nothing to add to the Manifest.

Once the notifications have been raised and you view your notifications, you can click on the "B4A added notifications" to take you to either the B4A or the B4I web page.

Attached:
B4A sample project - zipped
ProjectRes.zip - extract it and copy the folder (and its contents) to be on the same folder level as that of the B4A project's /Files and /Objects folders. It contains 2 png files.

Sample Code:

B4X:

#Region  Project Attributes
    #ApplicationLabel: JHSnotification
    #VersionCode: 1
    #VersionName:
    'SupportedOrientations possible values: unspecified, landscape or portrait.
    #SupportedOrientations: portrait
    #CanInstallToExternalStorage: False
#End Region

#AdditionalJar: com.android.support:support-v4
#AdditionalRes: ..\ProjectRes

'Tested on Android 4.4.2 and Android 7.0 devices

'#Extends: android.service.notification.NotificationListenerService

#Region  Activity Attributes
    #FullScreen: False
    #IncludeTitle: True
#End Region

Probably not useful at all - there are a number of Notification Libs in the forum...add some additional inline Java code to make it more "useful" should you wish to do so.

Have tested it on Android 4.4.2 and Android 7.0 devices and working on both
