java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: android.app.Notification$Builder.build

Question

I have just added notification icon to the notification bar in my app, which supports Android >= 11 and it started to throw below error:

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: android.app.Notification$Builder.build
at com.xynapse.autokam.MainActivity.onCreate(MainActivity.java:195)

at dalvik.system.NativeStart.main(Native Method)

Below is my part of code responsible for building notification.

navigationIntent = new Intent(this, MainActivity.class);
navigationIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_MAIN);
navigationIntent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_LAUNCHER);
navigationIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP|Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP);
pi = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, navigationIntent,0);

notification = new Notification.Builder(this)
.setContentIntent(pi)
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.splash_logo)
.setContentTitle("Status")
.setContentText("Standby mode")
.build();

Does anyone have any idea why I'm getting NoSuchMethodError for simple .build method? Or am I just missing something here?

Thanks in advance.

UPDATE It appeared to me that .build method has been added in API16, stupid question, but maybe it will help someone :)

The answer is just the same as here: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: android.app.Notification$Builder.addAction

You can use NotificationCompat.Builder from the Android Support package (android.support.v4.app.NotificationCompat.Builder).
