Android notification .addAction deprecated in api 23

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 deprecated ? Couldn't find any example, thank you.

My old action: .addAction(R.drawable.ic_prev, "Previous", prevPendingIntent)

According to the [docs](http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Notification.Builder.html#addAction%28android.app.Notification.Action%29), you should use `addAction (Notification.Action action)` instead. — Tigger, Feb 26 '16 at 09:25

I already looked at that example @sasikumar, it doesn't help me, I don't understand how to build the `Notification.Action action` — Marian Pavel, Feb 26 '16 at 09:31

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);

I know, I already read it, but I don't understand how to proper build the `Notification.Action action` – Marian Pavel Feb 26 '16 at 09:32

This is incorrect, incompatible types, you need to change `new Notification.Action.Builder()` to `new Action()` and the result: `new Notification.Action(.....)` is still deprecated or vice versa which is still deprecated. – Marian Pavel Feb 26 '16 at 09:39
For this to work use 'new NotificationCompat.Builder(context)' – TouchBoarder Jun 29 '16 at 15:27
`Notification.Action` doesn't seem to be deprecated. – ben_joseph Sep 24 '16 at 13:30

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();

//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);
}

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());

This works great for me. Seems redundant for android to have so many ways to create a stupid notification? — Thunderstick, Feb 10 '18 at 16:49

Actually, the only option to use all non-deprecated methods is by Using Icon for Action.Builder.

    
Notification.Action action = new Notification.Action.Builder(Icon.createWithResource(this, R.drawable.act_hike), 
getString(R.string.finish_recording), pActionFinish).build();

//Create a notification
Notification notification = new Notification.Builder(this, NOTIFICATION_CHANNEL_ID)
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.atlas)
.setContentTitle(getString(R.string.app_name))
.setContentText(getString(R.string.foreground_notification))
.addAction(action)
.setContentIntent(pIntent)
.build();

Use special builder Notification.Action.Builder.

    Notification.Action.Builder builder = new Notification.Action.Builder( Icon.createWithResource( this, R.drawable.ic_pause), getString( R.string.pause ), PendingIntent.getBroadcast( this, 1, new Intent( TIMER_PAUSE ), 0 ) );
    Notification.Action action = builder.build();
...
    notification_builder.addAction( action ); // or setActions( action );
