How can I resize an image in android to use it in an expanded notification?

Question

That's how I define a style for the notification:

NotificationCompat.BigPictureStyle notiStyle = new
                NotificationCompat.BigPictureStyle();
notiStyle.setBigContentTitle(context.getString(R.string.notification_ticker));
notiStyle.setSummaryText(title);
notiStyle.bigPicture(map);
notiStyle.bigLargeIcon(map); //map - bitmap

But the bitmap is too large, and notification shows only a piece of an image with full width and cropped by height, a large icon shows a little part in the center of the image.

You can resize your Bitmap before setting it to the View with the following code.

Bitmap b = BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(imageAsBytes, 0, imageAsBytes.length)
profileImage.setImageBitmap(Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(b, 120, 120, false));

You should predefine sizes based on the device screensizes type(i.e., hdpi,ldpi,mdpi,xhdpi) – Supriya Sep 24 '14 at 09:48
