Getting Notification in Broadcast Receiver

Question

I have added a some itent like AACTION_POWER_CONNECTED in my manifest file, I want to get Notification when charger is connected. This my code.

    public class AwesomeReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {

    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
        Toast.makeText(context, "Inside onReceive", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        NotificationCompat.Builder mBuilder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(context);
        mBuilder.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher);
        mBuilder.setContentTitle("This is A Notification");
        mBuilder.build();

    }
}

I am getting the Toast each time when I connect my charger but not getting the notification. As I am completely new in Android, I don't know how to achieve this.

Please review your code before you post it on social site. :P — Kalpesh Patel, Sep 29 '16 at 13:41
Use this to show notification. `NotificationManager notificationManager = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE); notificationManager.notify(notificationId, notificationBuilder.build());` — Kalpesh Patel, Sep 29 '16 at 13:44

Try this code:

public class AwesomeReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {

    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
        Toast.makeText(context, "Inside onReceive", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        NotificationCompat.Builder mBuilder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(context);
        mBuilder.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher);
        mBuilder.setContentTitle("This is A Notification");

        NotificationManager mNotificationManager =
(NotificationManager) getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
        mNotificationManager.notify(mId, mBuilder.build());
    }
}

Actually you created Notification object but never fired it :) So, you were simply remaining with the notify() to call.

what id `mId`, here ? – Firdoesh khan Sep 29 '16 at 14:03
@Firdoeshkhan Its unique id assigned to every notification. For now, you can pass 0 – Chintan Soni Sep 29 '16 at 14:24
