Notification.MediaStyle


public static class Notification.MediaStyle
extends Notification.Style

java.lang.Object
   ↳ android.app.Notification.Style
     ↳ android.app.Notification.MediaStyle


Notification style for media playback notifications. In the expanded form, Notification.bigContentView, up to 5 Notification.Actions specified with addAction will be shown as icon-only pushbuttons, suitable for transport controls. The Bitmap given to setLargeIcon() will be treated as album artwork.

Unlike the other styles provided here, MediaStyle can also modify the standard-size Notification.contentView; by providing action indices to setShowActionsInCompactView(int) you can promote up to 3 actions to be displayed in the standard view alongside the usual content.

Notifications created with MediaStyle will have their category set to CATEGORY_TRANSPORT unless you set a different category using setCategory().

Finally, if you attach a MediaSession.Token using setMediaSession(MediaSession.Token), the System UI can identify this as a notification representing an active media session and respond accordingly (by showing album artwork in the lockscreen, for example).

Starting at Android O any notification that has a media session attached with setMediaSession(android.media.session.MediaSession.Token) will be colorized. You can opt-out of this behavior by using Notification.Builder.setColorized(boolean).

Starting at Android V the NO_CLEAR flag will be set for valid MediaStyle notifications.

To use this style with your Notification, feed it to Notification.Builder.setStyle(android.app.Notification.Style) like so:

 Notification noti = new Notification.Builder()
     .setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_stat_player)
     .setContentTitle("Track title")
     .setContentText("Artist - Album")
     .setLargeIcon(albumArtBitmap))
     .setStyle(new Notification.MediaStyle()
         .setMediaSession(mySession))
     .build();
