is it possible to add video in android push notification?

Question

Is ti possible too embedded video into android rich notification as it possible in iOS? I know that the android officially still do not support that, but it may be some tricky way to improvise that? :)

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

There is no way to show video on RemoteViews. You can use only widgets that are described in the official documentation

As you show in comments as example, it's not a video in the notification, it's a simple image (but as I assume, when you click on it, some apps, that can show video by URL (or something like that), will be started and showing you content, that's all)

Answer 2

You have to implement FCM Messages 'Data message'. This will allow you to send custom json data. More info here: FCM documentation. Such message will not be shown automatically - after receiving you need to build your custom notification layout. More info here: Android dev documentation It's not possible to show video directly on notification panel. Checkout how youtube does it.
