[android] Notification not showing in Oreo

In Android O it's a must to use a channel with your Notification Builder

below is a sample code :

// Sets an ID for the notification, so it can be updated.
int notifyID = 1; 
String CHANNEL_ID = "my_channel_01";// The id of the channel. 
CharSequence name = getString(R.string.channel_name);// The user-visible name of the channel.
int importance = NotificationManager.IMPORTANCE_HIGH;
NotificationChannel mChannel = new NotificationChannel(CHANNEL_ID, name, importance);
// Create a notification and set the notification channel.
Notification notification = new Notification.Builder(MainActivity.this)
            .setContentTitle("New Message")
            .setContentText("You've received new messages.")
            .setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_notify_status)
            .setChannelId(CHANNEL_ID)
            .build();

Or with Handling compatibility by:

NotificationCompat notification =
        new NotificationCompat.Builder(this)
        .setSmallIcon(R.drawable.notification_icon)
        .setContentTitle("My notification")
        .setContentText("Hello World!")
        .setChannelId(CHANNEL_ID).build();

Now make it notify

NotificationManager mNotificationManager =
            (NotificationManager) getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
 mNotificationManager.createNotificationChannel(mChannel);

// Issue the notification.
mNotificationManager.notify(notifyID , notification);

or if you want a simple fix then use the following code:

NotificationManager mNotificationManager =
            (NotificationManager) getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.O) {
       mNotificationManager.createNotificationChannel(mChannel);
    }

Updates: NotificationCompat.Builder reference

NotificationCompat.Builder(Context context)

This constructor was deprecated in API level 26.0.0 so you should use

Builder(Context context, String channelId)

so no need to setChannelId with the new constructor.

And you should use the latest of AppCompat library currently 26.0.2

compile "com.android.support:appcompat-v7:26.0.+"
