Tap the button below to send a notification.\n\nThe notification\'s icon will immediately appear in the notification bar. Drag the notification bar open to see the full notification. Depending on which version of Android you\'re running, the full notification will display an icon and two or three lines of text. \n\nTap the notification to execute the notification\'s \"action,\" which is an intent that we associate with the notification when it\'s created. This sample notification\'s action is to send a browse intent with the url of the Notification docs on developer.android.com. \n\nThis sample uses the NotificationCompat API for maximum compatibility with versions of Android from Froyo (Android 2.2) to the present. Try it on devices or AVDs that are running different versions of Android. You\'ll see that while the presentation varies slightly, the basic functionality is the same. NotificationCompat automatically takes advantage of the expanded notification format in newer versions of Android, and falls back gracefully to a reduced set of functionality on earlier versions.
