How exactly to use Notification.Builder

Question

I found that I am using a deprecated method for noficitations (notification.setLatestEventInfo())

It says to use Notification.Builder.

• How do I use it?

When I try to create a new instance, it tells me:

Notification.Builder cannot be resolved to a type 

Answer 1

Notification.Builder API 11 or NotificationCompat.Builder API 1

This is a usage example.

Intent notificationIntent = new Intent(ctx, YourClass.class); PendingIntent contentIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(ctx,         YOUR_PI_REQ_CODE, notificationIntent,         PendingIntent.FLAG_CANCEL_CURRENT);  NotificationManager nm = (NotificationManager) ctx         .getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);  Resources res = ctx.getResources(); Notification.Builder builder = new Notification.Builder(ctx);  builder.setContentIntent(contentIntent)             .setSmallIcon(R.drawable.some_img)             .setLargeIcon(BitmapFactory.decodeResource(res, R.drawable.some_big_img))             .setTicker(res.getString(R.string.your_ticker))             .setWhen(System.currentTimeMillis())             .setAutoCancel(true)             .setContentTitle(res.getString(R.string.your_notif_title))             .setContentText(res.getString(R.string.your_notif_text)); Notification n = builder.build();  nm.notify(YOUR_NOTIF_ID, n);
