Android Notification background color

Question

I have a project on Android where I get some notifications. My question is, how can I change the color of the notification? I already have a title and some text. Any ideas?

void setNotification() {
    nm = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
    nm.cancel(uniqueID);
    Context context = getApplicationContext();
    int icon = R.drawable.notif;// R.drawable.notification_icon;
    CharSequence tickerText = "New Violations";
    long when = System.currentTimeMillis();

    CharSequence contentTitle = "New violations";
    CharSequence contentText = "Click to view the violations !";

    Notification notification = new Notification(icon, tickerText, when);
    Intent notificationIntent = new Intent(this, NotficationClass.class);
    PendingIntent contentIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, notificationIntent, 0);
    notification.flags = Notification.FLAG_AUTO_CANCEL;
    notification.setLatestEventInfo(context, contentTitle, contentText, contentIntent);
    String ns = Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE;
    NotificationManager mNotificationManager = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(ns);
    mNotificationManager.notify(uniqueID, notification);

}

you can try this new Notification.Builder(context).setLights(Color.YELLOW, 500, 500) — Developer, Sep 12 '13 at 11:59
setLights sets the color of the RGB LED in (some) android devices, but has nothing to do with the background color (black in the picture in the question) — Gavriel, Feb 25 '15 at 09:45

Use this hope this will resolve your problem

Notification.Builder notification = new Notification.Builder(context)
                .setLights(Color.Res, 500, 500)
                ;
                notification.defaults = 0;
