Set custom notification - show full content text
suggest changeIf you want have a long text to display in the context, you need to set a custom content.
For example, you have this:

But you wish your text will be fully shown:

All you need to do, is to add a style to your content like below:
private void generateNotification(Context context) { String message = "This is a custom notification with a very very very very very very very very very very long text"; Bitmap largeIcon = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), android.R.drawable.ic_dialog_alert); NotificationCompat.Builder builder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(context); builder.setContentTitle("Title").setContentText(message) .setSmallIcon(android.R.drawable.ic_dialog_alert) .setLargeIcon(largeIcon) .setAutoCancel(true) .setWhen(System.currentTimeMillis()) .setStyle(new NotificationCompat.BigTextStyle().bigText(message)); Notification notification = builder.build(); NotificationManagerCompat notificationManager = NotificationManagerCompat.from(context); notificationManager.notify(101, notification); }
Found a mistake? Have a question or improvement idea?
