How to import android.support.v7.app.NotificationCompat.Builder class in Android Studio

Question

I am trying to implement simple notifications in my android app. I am reffering this developer guide

But getting this error message :

Incompatible types. Required: android.support.v7app.NotificationCompat.Builder Found: android.support.v4.app.Notification.Compat.Builder 

Error Message screenshot

For the following code snippet :

NotificationCompat.Builder mBuilder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this)                         .setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher)                         .setContentTitle("My notification")                         .setContentText("Hello World!"); 

Here are my imports :

import android.content.Intent; import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity; import android.os.Bundle; import android.support.v7.app.NotificationCompat; import android.view.View; import android.widget.Button; 

I think the correct NotificationCompat class is imported. I am using Android Studio v2.1.2 for development. Please help me with this error message. I am new to android programming and java.
