Question

Is it possible to disable the swipe delete feature of an android notification from the notifications list in android. Please help me.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Try this code

builder.setOngoing(true); // Cant cancel your notification (except notificationManager.cancel(); )

Above code in Notifcation Builder.

public void DisplayNotification() {

// Use NotificationCompat.Builder to set up our notification.
NotificationCompat.Builder builder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this);

//icon appears in device notification bar and right hand corner of notification
builder.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_stat_notification);

// This intent is fired when notification is clicked
Intent tapIntent = new Intent(CurrentActivity.this, SecondActivity.class);

PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, tapIntent, 0);

// Set the intent that will fire when the user taps the notification.
builder.setContentIntent(pendingIntent);

builder.setOngoing(true); // Cant cancel your notification (except NotificationManger.cancel(); )

// Content title, which appears in large type at the top of the notification
builder.setContentTitle("Notifications Title");

// Content text, which appears in smaller text below the title
builder.setContentText("Your notification content here.");

NotificationManager notificationManager = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);

// Will display the notification in the notification bar
notificationManager.notify(NOTIFICATION_ID, builder.build());
}

Cancel Notification

public void cancelNotification() {
        mNotificationManager = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
        mNotificationManager.cancel(NOTIFICATION_ID); // Notification ID to cancel
    }

Happy Coding :)

you can mark your Notification as an 'ongoing' notification.

--> Notification.Builder setOngoing
