I'm using Glide for all loading images from server, but I'm having troubleshooting trying to set them in a correct way to notifications and RemoteControlClientCompat (that cool thing with lock screens). I am developing a music player, so every time that a song is changed the song cover from notifications has to change. I have this code and it works for the first time (althoug the image is load from url or from drawable), but not when it is called for second time. The image doesn't change! CustomNotification is invoked when a song is changed. And RegisterRemoteClient is invoked on start activity.
If this is not the correct way to do it, please tell how.
public void CustomNotification() {
Log.d(TAG, "Set custom notification");
simpleRemoteView = new RemoteViews(getApplicationContext().getPackageName(), R.layout.notification_custom);
expandedRemoteView = new RemoteViews(getApplicationContext().getPackageName(), R.layout.notification_big);
mNotification = new NotificationCompat.Builder(getApplicationContext())
.setSmallIcon(R.mipmap.ic_main_logo)
.setTicker(mSongTitle + " - " + mSongAuthors)
.setContentTitle(mSongTitle).build();
setRemoteListeners(simpleRemoteView);
setRemoteListeners(expandedRemoteView);
try {
//Check if playingSong has a cover url, if not set one from drawable
if(!playingSong.has("cover")){
mDummyAlbumArt = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(),R.drawable.image_song_album);
mDummyAlbumArt2 = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(),R.drawable.image_song_album);
mDummyAlbumArt3 = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(),R.drawable.image_song_album);
}else {
Glide.with(MainActivity.context)
.load(API.imgUrl(playingSong.getString("cover_img")))
.asBitmap()
.into(new SimpleTarget<Bitmap>(100, 100) {

Glide is an Image Loader Library for Android developed by bumptech and is a library that is recommended by Google. It has been used in many Google open source projects including Google I/O 2014 official application. It provides animated GIF support and handles image loading/caching.
Glide is a library for showing and caching images in android and it's not usable for videos.
You need to set use NotificationTarget class to set your notification image as glide target
NotificationTarget notificationTarget = new NotificationTarget(
context,
R.id.iv_album_art,
remoteView,
notification,
NOTIFICATION_ID);
and then use that target in usual glide way
Uri uri = ContentUris.withAppendedId(PlayerConstants.sArtworkUri,
mediaitem.getAlbumId());
Glide.with(getApplicationContext())
.asBitmap()
.load(uri)
.into(notificationTarget);
It is explained in Glide's guideline here
