NotificationCompat.Builder

This package is part of the Android support library which is no longer maintained. The support library has been superseded by AndroidX which is part of Jetpack. We recommend using the AndroidX libraries in all new projects. You should also consider migrating existing projects to AndroidX. To find the AndroidX class that maps to this deprecated class, see the AndroidX support library class mappings.

public static class NotificationCompat.Builder
extends Object

java.lang.Object
↳	android.support.v4.app.NotificationCompat.Builder

---

Builder class for NotificationCompat objects. Allows easier control over all the flags, as well as help constructing the typical notification layouts.

On platform versions that don't offer expanded notifications, methods that depend on expanded notifications have no effect.

For example, action buttons won't appear on platforms prior to Android 4.1. Action buttons depend on expanded notifications, which are only available in Android 4.1 and later.

For this reason, you should always ensure that UI controls in a notification are also available in an Activity in your app, and you should always start that Activity when users click the notification. To do this, use the setContentIntent() method.
