NotificationCompat.Builder

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.
