Question

What is the proper way to add an action to the notification in API 23 since addAction(int icon, CharSequence title, PendingIntent intent) is deprec

Answer 1

Use Icon class at first parameter for Drawable if api level >= 23(marshmallow)

https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Notification.Action.Builder.html

https://developer.android.com/sdk/api_diff/23/changes/android.app.Notification.Action.Builder.html

example)

Notification.Action action = new Notification.Action.Builder(
    Icon.createWithResource(this, R.drawable.ic_prev),
    "action string",
    pendingIntent).build();

Answer 2

//Exemple of notification with Button
private void scheduleNotificationWithButton(String message) {

    int notifReCode = 1;

    //What happen when you will click on button
    Intent intent = new Intent(this, MainActivity.class);
    PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 1, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_ONE_SHOT);

    //Button
    NotificationCompat.Action action = new NotificationCompat.Action.Builder(R.mipmap.ic_launcher, "Go", pendingIntent).build();

    //Notification
    Notification notification = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this)
            .setSmallIcon(R.mipmap.ic_launcher)
            .setContentText("Back to Application ?")
            .setContentTitle("Amazing news")
            .addAction(action) //add buton
            .build();

    //Send notification
    NotificationManager notificationManager = (NotificationManager)
            this.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
    notificationManager.notify(1, notification);
}

Answer 3

Instead of this one:

addAction (int icon, CharSequence title, PendingIntent intent)

This method was deprecated in API level 23.

Use:

addAction (Notification.Action action)

It's all in the developer docs!

So to use this:

first build your action with the NotificationCompat.Action.Builder

NotificationCompat.Action action = new NotificationCompat.Action.Builder(R.drawable.ic_prev, "Previous", prevPendingIntent).build();

Note: Use NotificationCompat.Action

And than add it to your notification:

yournotification.addAction(action);

You just have to use NotificationCompat.Builder builder in place of Notification.Builder builder because NotificationCompat.Builder allows you to build your application below Android Version 4.1

Solved by using NotificationCompat.builder:

    String strTitle = getString(R.string.new_message);
    String strText = getString(R.string.hi_whats_up);
    Intent intent = new Intent(this, NotificationView.class);
    intent.putExtra("title", strTitle);
    intent.putExtra("text", strText);

    PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
    NotificationCompat.Builder builder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this)
           .setSmallIcon(R.mipmap.ic_launcher)
           .setTicker("Notification Ticker")
           .setContentTitle("Notification Title")
           .setContentText("Notification Text")
           .addAction(R.mipmap.ic_launcher, "Notification Action", pendingIntent)
           .setContentIntent(pendingIntent)
           .setAutoCancel(true);
    NotificationManager notificationManager = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
           notificationManager.notify(0, builder.build());
