How to display multiple notifications in android

Question

I am receiving only one notification and if there comes another notification, it replaces the previous one and here is my code

private static void generateNo         


        

Answer 1

You just need to change your one-line from notificationManager.notify(0, notification); to notificationManager.notify((int) System.currentTimeMillis(), notification);...

This will change the id of notification whenever the new notification will appear

Answer 2

val notifyIdLong = ((Date().time / 1000L) % Integer.MAX_VALUE)
var notifyIdInteger = notifyIdLong.toInt()
if (notifyIdInteger < 0) notifyIdInteger = -1  * notifyIdInteger // if it's -ve change to positive
notificationManager.notify(notifyIdInteger, mBuilder.build())
log.d(TAG,"notifyId = $notifyIdInteger")

Answer 3

You need to add a unique ID to each of the notifications so that they do not combine with each other. You can use this link for your reference :

Answer 4

just replace your line with this

 notificationManager.notify(Unique_Integer_Number, notification);

hope it will help you.

Answer 5

I solved my problem like this...

/**
     * Issues a notification to inform the user that server has sent a message.
     */
    private static void generateNotification(Context context, String message,
            String keys, String msgId, String branchId) {
        int icon = R.drawable.ic_launcher;
        long when = System.currentTimeMillis();
        NotificationCompat.Builder nBuilder;
        Uri alarmSound = RingtoneManager
                .getDefaultUri(RingtoneManager.TYPE_NOTIFICATION);
        nBuilder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(context)
                .setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher)
                .setContentTitle("Smart Share - " + keys)
                .setLights(Color.BLUE, 500, 500).setContentText(message)
                .setAutoCancel(true).setTicker("Notification from smartshare")
                .setVibrate(new long[] { 100, 250, 100, 250, 100, 250 })
                .setSound(alarmSound);
        String consumerid = null;
        Integer position = null;
        Intent resultIntent = null;
        if (consumerid != null) {
            if (msgId != null && !msgId.equalsIgnoreCase("")) {
                if (key != null && key.equalsIgnoreCase("Yo! Matter")) {
                    ViewYoDataBase db_yo = new ViewYoDataBase(context);
                    position = db_yo.getPosition(msgId);
                    if (position != null) {
                        resultIntent = new Intent(context,
                                YoDetailActivity.class);
                        resultIntent.putExtra("id", Integer.parseInt(msgId));
                        resultIntent.putExtra("position", position);
                        resultIntent.putExtra("notRefresh", "notRefresh");
                    } else {
                        resultIntent = new Intent(context,
                                FragmentChangeActivity.class);
                        resultIntent.putExtra(key, key);
                    }
                } else if (key != null && key.equalsIgnoreCase("Message")) {
                    resultIntent = new Intent(context,
                            FragmentChangeActivity.class);
                    resultIntent.putExtra(key, key);
                }.

                resultIntent = new Intent(context, FragmentChangeActivity.class);
                resultIntent.putExtra(key, key);
            }
        } else {
            resultIntent = new Intent(context, MainLoginSignUpActivity.class);
        }
        PendingIntent resultPendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context,
                notify_no, resultIntent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
        if (notify_no < 9) {
            notify_no = notify_no + 1;
        } else {
            notify_no = 0;
        }
        nBuilder.setContentIntent(resultPendingIntent);
        NotificationManager nNotifyMgr = (NotificationManager) context
                .getSystemService(context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
        nNotifyMgr.notify(notify_no + 2, nBuilder.build());
    }

Answer 6

Using Shared Preferences worked for me

SharedPreferences prefs = getSharedPreferences(Activity.class.getSimpleName(), Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
int notificationNumber = prefs.getInt("notificationNumber", 0);
...

notificationManager.notify(notificationNumber , notification);
SharedPreferences.Editor editor = prefs.edit();
notificationNumber++;
editor.putInt("notificationNumber", notificationNumber);
editor.commit();
