How can I customize notifications on Android?

Pushy Support
  • Updated
On native Android, please modify the Push BroadcastReceiver implementation and use the NotificationCompat.Builder Android SDK methods to customize the notification.
 
For example, to change the sound, find the following in yourPushReceiver.java:
.setSound(RingtoneManager.getDefaultUri(RingtoneManager.TYPE_NOTIFICATION))
 
Replace with:
.setSound(Uri.parse(ContentResolver.SCHEME_ANDROID_RESOURCE + "://" + mContext.getPackageName() + "/" + R.raw.your_custom_sound))
 
Replace R.raw.your_custom_sound with your sound file name in the resources/raw folder.
 
 
For multi-line notifications, set the notification style to BigTextStyle as follows: 
.setStyle(new Notification.BigTextStyle().bigText(notificationText))

 Then, use \n inside the notification text to insert a line break.
