Answer 1

You need to set use NotificationTarget class to set your notification image as glide target

NotificationTarget notificationTarget = new NotificationTarget(  
    context,
    remoteView,
    R.id.iv_album_art,
    notification,
    NOTIFICATION_ID);

and then use that target in usual glide way

    Uri uri = ContentUris.withAppendedId(PlayerConstants.sArtworkUri,
        mediaitem.getAlbumId());

    Glide.with(getApplicationContext()) 
    .load(uri)
    .asBitmap()
    .into( notificationTarget );

It is explained in Glide's guideline here
