NotificationManagerCompat

class NotificationManagerCompat

kotlin.Any
↳	androidx.core.app.NotificationManagerCompat

Compatibility library for NotificationManager with fallbacks for older platforms.

To use this class, call the static function from to get a NotificationManagerCompat object, and then call one of its methods to post or cancel notifications.

Summary

Constants

Public methods

createNotificationChannelGroups

fun createNotificationChannelGroups(@NonNull groups: MutableList<NotificationChannelGroup!>): Unit

Creates multiple notification channel groups. See createNotificationChannelGroup(NotificationChannelGroup). It doesn't do anything on older SDKs which doesn't support Notification Channels.

Parameters
groups	MutableList<NotificationChannelGroup!>: The list of groups to create

createNotificationChannelGroup

fun createNotificationChannelGroup(@NonNull group: NotificationChannelGroup): Unit

Creates a group container for NotificationChannel objects. This can be used to rename an existing group. It doesn't do anything on older SDKs which doesn't support Notification Channels.

Parameters
group	NotificationChannelGroup: The group to create

areNotificationsEnabled

fun areNotificationsEnabled(): Boolean

Returns whether notifications from the calling package are not blocked.

getImportance

fun getImportance(): Int

Returns the user specified importance for notifications from the calling package.

Return
Int: An importance level, such as IMPORTANCE_DEFAULT.

getNotificationChannels

@NonNull fun getNotificationChannels(): MutableList<NotificationChannel!>

Returns all notification channels belonging to the calling app or an empty list on older SDKs which doesn't support Notification Channels.

getNotificationChannelGroups

Returns all notification channel groups belonging to the calling app or an empty list on older SDKs which doesn't support Notification Channels.

createNotificationChannel

fun createNotificationChannel(@NonNull channel: NotificationChannel): Unit

Creates a notification channel that notifications can be posted to. This can also be used to restore a deleted channel and to update an existing channel's name, description, group, and/or importance.

The importance of an existing channel will only be changed if the new importance is lower than the current value and the user has not altered any settings on this channel.

The group an existing channel will only be changed if the channel does not already belong to a group. All other fields are ignored for channels that already exist. It doesn't do anything on older SDKs which doesn't support Notification Channels.
