I would like to ask if someone can give me an example that uses NotificationCompat.Builder with a foreground service. Can anyone do that please?

public void onStartCommand (Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
    NotificationCompat.Builder  mNotifyBuilder = new NotificationCompat.Builder ( this) 
       .setContentTitle("somthing");
    mNotificationManager.notify (mNotificationId,mNotifyBuilder.build());

}

When I use this in the foreground it refuses, so how can i use them together?

Quoting the Android docs:

At a minimum, all notifications consist of a base layout, including:

  • The notification's icon. The icon symbolizes the originating app. It may also potentially indicate notification type if the app generates more than one type.
  • A notification title and additional text.
  • A timestamp.

In your code, you are only setting the title. You need use the setSmallIcon(), setLargeIcon(), setContentText() and setWhen() methods of the NotificationCompat.Builder instance before calling build().
