you can just create a service that runs in the background that'll timeout after five minutes and delete your notification — Tapan Kumar Patro, Mar 15 '17 at 14:00
If you want to do that even when app is killed you can achieve it by using AlarmManager by setting alarm after required hours of triggering notification. — Mayank Pandya, Mar 15 '17 at 14:05

You should use:

NotificationManager manager = (NotificationManager) context.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
            manager.cancel(notificationId);

to clear the notification (by the notificationId). If you want to timing this operation you can use a AlarmManager like:

AlarmManager alarmMgr = (AlarmManager)context.getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
Intent intent = new Intent(context, CustomAlarmReceiver.class);
alarmIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, 0, intent, 0);

alarmMgr.set(AlarmManager.ELAPSED_REALTIME_WAKEUP,
        SystemClock.elapsedRealtime() +
        60 * 1000, alarmIntent);

put your clear method inside CustomAlarmReceiver class.
