Solution

  • From the developer documentation:

    When you target Android 8.0 (API level 26), you must implement one or more notification channels to display notifications to your users.

    int NOTIFICATION_ID = 234;
    NotificationManager notificationManager = (NotificationManager) ctx.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
    String CHANNEL_ID;
    if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.O) {
        CHANNEL_ID = "my_channel_01";
        CharSequence name = "my_channel";
        String Description = "This is my channel";
        int importance = NotificationManager.IMPORTANCE_HIGH;
        NotificationChannel mChannel = new NotificationChannel(CHANNEL_ID, name, importance);
        mChannel.setDescription(Description);
        mChannel.enableLights(true);
        mChannel.setLightColor(Color.RED);
        mChannel.enableVibration(true);
        mChannel.setVibrationPattern(new long[]{100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 400, 300, 200, 400});
        mChannel.setShowBadge(false);
        notificationManager.createNotificationChannel(mChannel);
    }
    
    NotificationCompat.Builder builder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(ctx, CHANNEL_ID)
        .setSmallIcon(R.mipmap.ic_launcher)
        .setContentTitle(title)
        .setContentText(message);
    
    Intent resultIntent = new Intent(ctx, MainActivity.class);
    TaskStackBuilder stackBuilder = TaskStackBuilder.create(ctx);
    stackBuilder.addParentStack(MainActivity.class);
    stackBuilder.addNextIntent(resultIntent);
    PendingIntent resultPendingIntent = stackBuilder.getPendingIntent(0, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
    builder.setContentIntent(resultPendingIntent);
    notificationManager.notify(NOTIFICATION_ID, builder.build());
    

    One interesting thing to note: If a channel already exists, calling createNotificationChannel has no effect, so you can create all channels whenever you start your application.
