在这篇文章中,我们已经讨论并实现了基本的通知。
在本教程中,我们将研究android通知的更多高级功能,并以不同方式设置通知样式。

Android通知样式

Android Notification具有许多强大的功能,如果正确使用它们,将大大提高用户体验和用户参与度。
下面列出了我们将在本Android Notification教程中介绍的一些值得注意的功能。

  • 通知动作
  • 抬头通知
  • 大文字样式通知
  • 大图样式通知
  • 收件箱样式通知
  • 邮件样式通知

Android通知包含三个主要组件:

  • 小图标(通常是我们的应用徽标)
  • 标题
  • 内容文字

Android Nougat(API 24)的引入使通知有了新外观,如下所示。

现在,大图标出现在右侧。
通知标题旁边有一个箭头,可让我们展开,折叠通知。

在本教程中,我们将使用Android为我们提供的一些预定义超赞样式来设置通知的样式。
我们将详细介绍以下功能。

  • Android通知动作
  • 抬头通知
  • 丰富的通知

Android通知动作

Android通知操作基本上是放在通知正文下方的按钮。
通知动作必须包含一个图标,一个标签以及一个当用户选择该动作时要触发的" PendingIntent"。

随着Android N的介绍,操作按钮中的图标被省略,以留出空间给其他组件。

牛轧糖前设备中的通知措施示例如下。

以下是Android N及更高版本中的通知动作示例.Android Nougat中的通知动作

抬头通知

随着Android Lollipop(API级别21)的引入,当设备处于活动状态(即设备已解锁且屏幕处于打开状态)时,通知可以显示在一个小的浮动窗口中(也称为平视通知)。

当您使用应用程序并接到电话时,通常会看到此类通知。
弹出一个称为抬头通知的小型浮动通知,其中包含通知动作以接受或者拒绝呼叫。

丰富的通知

Android允许我们通过引入Android L向我们的应用程序添加丰富的样式。
使用这些样式将使通知看起来比以往更具吸引力。
下面列出了许多应用程序中使用的一些已知样式,这些样式是不言自明的。

  • BigTextStyle
  • BigPictureStyle
  • InboxStyle
  • MessageStyle

我们知道可以使用箭头扩展Android N上的通知。
要扩展牛轧糖之前版本的通知,您可以用两根手指在通知上向下滑动。

并非所有的Android版本都支持上述样式。
如果Android操作系统不支持丰富样式,则该样式将被忽略。

现在,让我们进入本教程的业务范围,并开发一个具有上述所有功能的应用程序。

Android通知教程代码

下面给出了" activity_main.xml"的代码:

      android:layout_marginTop="8dp"
      app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@+id/btnInboxStyle" 

</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>

我们为将要讨论的每种通知类型添加了一个按钮。

下面给出了MainActivity.java的框架代码。

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements View.OnClickListener {

  Button btnNotificationActions, btnHeadsUpNotification, btnBigTextStyle, btnBigPictureStyle,
          btnInboxStyle, btnMessageStyle;

  @Override
  protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
      super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
      setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

      clearNotification();

      btnNotificationActions = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnNotificationActions);
      btnHeadsUpNotification = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnHeadsUp);
      btnBigTextStyle = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnBigTextStyle);
      btnBigPictureStyle = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnBigPictureStyle);
      btnInboxStyle = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnInboxStyle);
      btnMessageStyle = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnMessageStyle);
      btnNotificationActions.setOnClickListener(this);
      btnHeadsUpNotification.setOnClickListener(this);
      btnBigTextStyle.setOnClickListener(this);
      btnBigPictureStyle.setOnClickListener(this);
      btnInboxStyle.setOnClickListener(this);
      btnMessageStyle.setOnClickListener(this);

  }

  @Override
  public void onClick(View v) {
      switch (v.getId()) {
          case R.id.btnNotificationActions:
              notificationActions();
              break;
          case R.id.btnHeadsUp:
              headsUpNotification();
              break;
          case R.id.btnBigTextStyle:
              bigTextStyleNotification();
              break;
          case R.id.btnBigPictureStyle:
              bigPictureStyleNotification();
              break;
          case R.id.btnInboxStyle:
              inboxStyleNotification();
              break;
          case R.id.btnMessageStyle:
              messageStyleNotification();
              break;

      }
  }

 public PendingIntent getLaunchIntent(int notificationId, Context context) {

      Intent intent = new Intent(context, MainActivity.class);
      intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TASK);
      intent.putExtra("notificationId", notificationId);
      return PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_CANCEL_CURRENT);
  }

  private void clearNotification() {
      int notificationId = getIntent().getIntExtra("notificationId", 0);

      NotificationManager manager = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
      manager.cancel(notificationId);
  }

private void notificationActions()
{
 //Logic goes here.
}

private void headsUpNotification()
{
 //Logic goes here.
}

private void bigTextStyleNotification()
{
 //Logic goes here.
}

private void bigPictureStyleNotification();
{
 //Logic goes here.
}

private void inboxStyleNotification()
{
 //Logic goes here.
}

private void messageStyleNotification()
{
 //Logic goes here.
}
}

clearNotification()方法用于清除通知列中的所有现有通知。
方法getLaunchIntent()返回一个PendingIntent实例,当从通知中触发该实例时,它将重新启动应用程序。

在深入研究每种通知的实现之前,让我们定义一下BroadcastReceiver,如下所示。

package com.theitroad.stylingnotifications;

import android.app.NotificationManager;
import android.content.BroadcastReceiver;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;

public class NotificationReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {

  @Override
  public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {

      int notificationId = intent.getIntExtra("notificationId", 0);

      NotificationManager manager = (NotificationManager) context.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
      manager.cancel(notificationId);
  }
}

使用定义如下的接收器更新AndroidManifest.xml文件。

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="https://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
  package="com.theitroad.stylingnotifications">

  <application
      android:allowBackup="true"
      android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
      android:label="@string/app_name"
      android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
      android:supportsRtl="true"
      android:theme="@style/AppTheme">

      <receiver android:name=".NotificationReceiver"
          android:exported="false"

      <activity android:name=".MainActivity">
          <intent-filter>
              <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" 

              <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" 
          </intent-filter>
      </activity>

  </application>

</manifest>

在通知中添加动作

private void notificationActions() {

      int NOTIFICATION_ID = 1;

      NotificationCompat.Builder builder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this);
      builder.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.jd);
      builder.setColor(ContextCompat.getColor(this, R.color.colorPrimaryDark));
      builder.setLargeIcon(BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.jd));
      builder.setContentTitle("Notification Actions");
      builder.setContentText("Tap View to launch our website");
      builder.setAutoCancel(true);
      PendingIntent launchIntent = getLaunchIntent(NOTIFICATION_ID, getBaseContext());

      Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("https://www.theitroad.local"));
      PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, intent, 0);

      Intent buttonIntent = new Intent(getBaseContext(), NotificationReceiver.class);
      buttonIntent.putExtra("notificationId", NOTIFICATION_ID);
      PendingIntent dismissIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(getBaseContext(), 0, buttonIntent, 0);

      builder.setContentIntent(launchIntent);
      builder.addAction(android.R.drawable.ic_menu_view, "VIEW", pendingIntent);
      builder.addAction(android.R.drawable.ic_delete, "DISMISS", dismissIntent);

      NotificationManager notificationManager = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);

      //Will display the notification in the notification bar
      notificationManager.notify(NOTIFICATION_ID, builder.build());
  }

在上面的代码中,我们在实例builder上设置了各种样式。

setColor()设置通知图标,标题和操作按钮文本的自定义颜色。

addAction()用于在通知内容下方设置操作按钮。
它需要三个参数:图标,文本和PendingIntent实例。

setContentIntent()设置点击通知正文时将触发的PendingIntent。
在上面的代码中,我们仅添加了PendingIntent以重新启动该应用程序。

setAutoCancel(true)用于在单击通知时关闭该通知。

NotificationManager类用于显示通知。

下面给出了触发上述类型的通知时应用程序的输出。

注意:

  • 单击"查看"按钮后,该网址会在浏览器中启动,但不会取消该通知。

  • 单击" DISMISS"按钮时,通知已清除,但通知托盘保持打开状态。

  • 单击通知内容后,该通知将被取消,并且该活动将重新启动。
    这是调用getLaunchIntent()和clearNotification()方法的地方。

实施抬头通知

private void headsUpNotification() {

      int NOTIFICATION_ID = 1;
      NotificationCompat.Builder builder =
              new NotificationCompat.Builder(this)
                      .setSmallIcon(R.drawable.jd)
                      .setContentTitle("Heads Up Notification")
                      .setContentText("View the latest Swift Tutorial")
                      .setAutoCancel(true)
                      .setDefaults(NotificationCompat.DEFAULT_ALL)
                      .setPriority(NotificationCompat.PRIORITY_HIGH);

      Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("https://www.theitroad.local/15126/swift-function"));
      PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, intent, 0);

      Intent buttonIntent = new Intent(getBaseContext(), NotificationReceiver.class);
      buttonIntent.putExtra("notificationId", NOTIFICATION_ID);
      PendingIntent dismissIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(getBaseContext(), 0, buttonIntent, 0);

      builder.addAction(android.R.drawable.ic_menu_view, "VIEW", pendingIntent);
      builder.addAction(android.R.drawable.ic_delete, "DISMISS", dismissIntent);

      NotificationManager notificationManager = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
      notificationManager.notify(NOTIFICATION_ID, builder.build());
  }

要将通知设置为抬头通知,需要在构建器实例上设置两个属性。

setDefaults(NotificationCompat.DEFAULT_ALL)
setPriority(NotificationCompat.PRIORITY_HIGH)

刷单向通知会取消该通知。
如果未取消,则抬头通知将消失,并在状态列中变为标准通知。

BigTextStyle通知

private void bigTextStyleNotification() {
      int NOTIFICATION_ID = 1;

      PendingIntent launchIntent = getLaunchIntent(NOTIFICATION_ID, getBaseContext());
      Intent buttonIntent = new Intent(getBaseContext(), NotificationReceiver.class);
      buttonIntent.putExtra("notificationId", NOTIFICATION_ID);
      PendingIntent dismissIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(getBaseContext(), 0, buttonIntent, 0);

      NotificationCompat.Builder builder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this);
      builder.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.jd);
      builder.setLargeIcon(BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.jd));
      builder.setContentTitle("Big Text Style");
      builder.setStyle(new NotificationCompat.BigTextStyle().bigText(getResources().getString(R.string.lorem_ipsum)));
      builder.setAutoCancel(true);
      builder.setContentIntent(launchIntent);
      builder.addAction(android.R.drawable.ic_delete, "DISMISS", dismissIntent);
      builder.addAction(android.R.drawable.ic_menu_send, "OPEN APP", launchIntent);
      NotificationManager notificationManager = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);

      //Will display the notification in the notification bar
      notificationManager.notify(NOTIFICATION_ID, builder.build());
  }

通过将样式设置为" NotificationCompat.BigTextStyle()",可以将通知定制为大文本样式通知。
要显示的字符串在方法bigText()中输入。

BigPictureStyle通知

private void bigPictureStyleNotification() {
      int NOTIFICATION_ID = 1;
      Bitmap pic = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.bg);

      Intent buttonIntent = new Intent(getBaseContext(), NotificationReceiver.class);
      buttonIntent.putExtra("notificationId", NOTIFICATION_ID);
      PendingIntent dismissIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(getBaseContext(), 0, buttonIntent, 0);
      PendingIntent launchIntent = getLaunchIntent(NOTIFICATION_ID, getBaseContext());

      NotificationCompat.Builder builder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this);
      builder.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.jd);
      builder.setLargeIcon(BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.jd));
      builder.setContentTitle("Big Picture Style");
      builder.setStyle(new NotificationCompat.BigPictureStyle().bigPicture(pic));
      builder.setAutoCancel(true);
      builder.setContentIntent(launchIntent);
      builder.addAction(android.R.drawable.ic_delete, "DISMISS", dismissIntent);

      NotificationManager notificationManager = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);

      //Will display the notification in the notification bar
      notificationManager.notify(NOTIFICATION_ID, builder.build());
  }

为了将BigPicture显示在通知中,样式设置为NotificationCompat.BigPictureStyle().bigPicture(bitmap))

具有上述通知类型的输出如下。

InboxStyle通知

private void inboxStyleNotification() {
      int NOTIFICATION_ID = 1;

      PendingIntent launchIntent = getLaunchIntent(NOTIFICATION_ID, getBaseContext());
      NotificationCompat.Builder builder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this);
      builder.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.jd);
      builder.setLargeIcon(BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.jd));
      builder.setStyle(new NotificationCompat.InboxStyle().addLine("Hello").addLine("Are you there?").addLine("How's your day?").setBigContentTitle("3 New Messages for you").setSummaryText("Inbox"));
      builder.setAutoCancel(true);
      builder.setContentIntent(launchIntent);
      NotificationManager notificationManager = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);

      //Will display the notification in the notification bar
      notificationManager.notify(NOTIFICATION_ID, builder.build());
  }

收件箱样式通知是通过使用新的NotificationCompat.InboxStyle()样式设置的。
每条消息都放在方法addLine()内。
所有消息的摘要文本都放在方法setSummaryText()中。
这种风格的setContentTitle()setBigContentTitle()代替

邮件样式通知

消息样式是Android N引入的。
通常用于聊天。

private void messageStyleNotification() {
      int NOTIFICATION_ID = 1;

      PendingIntent launchIntent = getLaunchIntent(NOTIFICATION_ID, getBaseContext());
      NotificationCompat.Builder builder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this);
      builder.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.jd);
      builder.setLargeIcon(BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.jd));
      builder.setContentTitle("Messages");
      builder.setStyle(new NotificationCompat.MessagingStyle("Teacher").setConversationTitle("Q&A Group")
              .addMessage("This type of notification was introduced in Android N. Right?",0,"Student 1")
              .addMessage("Yes",0,null)
              .addMessage("The constructor is passed with the name of the current user. Right?",0,"Student 2")
              .addMessage("True",0,null));
      builder.setAutoCancel(true);
      builder.setContentIntent(launchIntent);
      NotificationManager notificationManager = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);

      //Will display the notification in the notification bar
      notificationManager.notify(NOTIFICATION_ID, builder.build());
  }

在上面的代码中," NotificationCompat.MessagingStyle(String)"包含一个表示当前用户的字符串(通常在聊天中是您!)。
每条消息都带有时间戳和发件人名称添加到方法addMessage()中。
如果发件人名称设置为null,则表示消息来自当前用户(您),并且该名称来自构造函数。

在MainActivity.java中添加上述所有方法将为我们提供以下代码。

              messageStyleNotification();
              break;

      }
  }

  private void notificationActions() {

      int NOTIFICATION_ID = 1;

      builder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this);
