SO, I have a MainActivity that has a button which starts a service, MyService. I want the service to show the notification with a custom title,text,icon,etc. The service is a foreground service. not a bound service. everything works fine but the only thing is about my notification is keep showing "tap for more information" and clicking on it leads me to the settings page of my application. despite having the pendingIntent on my MainActivity.
What I want is to have a Notification with custom Title,Text,icon and an action to stop the service.
this is my MainActivity.java class
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
findViewById(R.id.start_tracking).setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
startCommand();
}
});
}
void startCommand() {
startService(new Intent(this, MyService.class));
}
}
Myservice.java file
public class MyService extends Service {
boolean mServiceIsStarted = false;
void moveToStartedState() {
Intent myIntentbuilder = new IntentBuilder(this).setmCommandId(Command.START).build();
Log.d(TAG, "moveToStartedState: Running on Android O - startForegroundService(intent)");
ContextCompat.startForegroundService(this, myIntentbuilder);
}
@Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
Log.d(TAG, "onStartCommand: ");
boolean containsCommand = IntentBuilder.containsCommand(intent);
routeIntentToCommand(intent);
return START_NOT_STICKY;
}
void routeIntentToCommand(Intent intent) {
if (intent != null) {
if (IntentBuilder.containsCommand(intent)) {
processCommand(IntentBuilder.getCommand(intent));
} else
commandStart();
}
}
@Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
Log.d(TAG, "onCreate: ");
}
void showNotification() {
Log.d(TAG, "showNotification: ");
HandleNotification.O.createNotification(this);
}
private void processCommand(int command) {
try {
switch (command) {
case Command.START:
commandStart();
break;
case Command.STOP:
commandStop();
break;
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e(TAG, "processCommand: exception", e);
}
}
void commandStop() {
stopSelf();
stopForeground(true);
}
void commandStart() {
if (!mServiceIsStarted) {
mServiceIsStarted = true;
moveToStartedState();
return;

Use NotificationCompat.Builder. You can follow how to create one here
NotificationCompat.Builder builder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this, CHANNEL_ID)
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.notification_icon)
.setContentTitle(textTitle)
.setContentText(textContent)
.setPriority(NotificationCompat.PRIORITY_DEFAULT);
You can add your custom small or big icon, title, content, and other properties.
An example from a project that I did long ago
private void LockNotification() {
NotificationCompat.Builder builder = new
NotificationCompat.Builder(getApplicationContext());
Intent intent = new Intent(this, MainActivity.class);
intent.putExtra("key","launch_about");
PendingIntent pendingIntent =
PendingIntent.getActivity(getApplicationContext(), 0, intent,
PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
// Set the title, text, and icon
builder.setContentTitle(getString(R.string.app_name))
.setContentText("App Lock Enabled")
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_applock)
.setContentIntent(pendingIntent)
.setOngoing(true);
// Get an instance of the Notification Manager
NotificationManager notifyManager = (NotificationManager)
getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
// Build the notification and post it
notifyManager.notify(0, builder.build());
}
