Android Code Snippet Version safe notification

Update: If you are using B4A v8.0+ then the standard notifications will work.
Make sure to call Notification.SetInfo as the last step before using the notification.
New class for more powerful notifications: NB6 - Notifications Builder class (2018)

Are you using B4A v8? The code in the first post is not required anymore. The built-in notification object will work.

Hi, Erel --
Yes, I use B4A v8. The built-in notification object doesn't work like I need. Or I am wrong somewhere.
The program shoild work under Android 4+. The notification should be visible (popup) in foreground/background.

I began from your sample in https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...s-firebase-cloud-messaging-fcm.67716/#content and changed n.Initialize2 (n.IMPORTANCE_HIGH).

Under Oreo 8.0 all is nice, except I do not found an equalent of notificationbuilde largeicon. Is it possible to set ?

For Android 5, 6, 7 I used your code from this topic with small changes, because built-in notification doesn't work like I want.
This way more or less works, except I am not happy that Android draws small icon near large icon.

The notification builder library still works as before. Some of the properties might need to be changed in the channel itself (Custom notifications channel).

Well, I removed "setChannelId" for API26+ (createNotificationChannel remains). Works in Oreo, if app is in foreground.

In background ...
Service.StartForeground in Oreo is limited by 5 seconds afrer Service_Create, To bypass this limitation I moved Service.StartForeground (...) to Service_Create subroutine.
In firebasemessagingInstance_MessageArrived event the program saves notification and restarts the service (StopService (Me) .. StartService (Me)).

Remains background problem in Android 4.

This is a mistake and not needed.

Please start a new thread for further discussion.

I've used the "#additionaljar: com.android.support: support-v4" but still wrong
Additional error messages (B.jpg) and TestNotification.zip please ask you how to correct

This code snippet is no longer relevant. Use the regular Notification object or NB6.
