MediaStyle : RemoteServiceException: Bad notification posted from package

Question

I\'m trying to create a notification media controller in my app using the code below which is working fine on all devices expect Huawei P8 Lite with An

Answer 1

I had the same issue and the root cause was not able to setStyle, it was only giving this exception in Huawei P8 Lite, not on other devices.

So, what i had to do was check if current device is android version 5.0 and its manufacturer is Huawei and remove the setStyle property. please check below code

boolean isLollipopHuawei = (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT == Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP_MR1 ||
            android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT == Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) && Build.MANUFACTURER.equalsIgnoreCase("HUAWEI");


if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT == Build.VERSION_CODES.KITKAT || Build.VERSION.SDK_INT == Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP_MR1 || Build.VERSION.SDK_INT == Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {

            if (isLollipopHuawei) {

                return builder
                        .addAction(generateAction(android.R.drawable.ic_media_previous, "Previous", Constants.ACTION_PREVIOUS))
                        .addAction(action)
                        .addAction(generateAction(android.R.drawable.ic_media_next, "Next", Constants.ACTION_NEXT))
                        .setSmallIcon(R.mipmap.vpicon_grayscale)
                        .setContentTitle(getSongDataHelper().getTitle())
                        .setContentIntent(pendingIntent)
                        .setContentText(getSongDataHelper().getAlbum())
                        .setLargeIcon(getSongDataHelper().getAlbumArt())
                        //.setColor(color)
                      /*  .setStyle(new androidx.media.app.NotificationCompat.MediaStyle()
                                .setShowActionsInCompactView(0, 1, 2)
                                .setMediaSession(mMediaSession.getSessionToken()))*/
                        .build();
            } else {
                return builder
                        .addAction(generateAction(android.R.drawable.ic_media_previous, "Previous", Constants.ACTION_PREVIOUS))
                        .addAction(action)
                        .addAction(generateAction(android.R.drawable.ic_media_next, "Next", Constants.ACTION_NEXT))
                        .setSmallIcon(R.mipmap.vpicon_grayscale)
                        .setContentTitle(getSongDataHelper().getTitle())
                        .setContentIntent(pendingIntent)
                        .setContentText(getSongDataHelper().getAlbum())
