As far as I'm aware, text isn't displayed in the status bar as of Lollipop. This used to be possible with the `setTicker` method. – PPartisan Feb 22 '18 at 11:07

Yes. I tried to `setTicker` method but it didn't work. However, there are some apps like Internet Speed Meter Lite that display text in Android N. I wonder how ? – Aroonalok Feb 22 '18 at 11:11

@EJusius I found it and tried to incorporate it. Did not work. – Aroonalok Feb 22 '18 at 11:21

If you're using NotificationCompat.Builder you can set text there
NotificationCompat.Builder mBuilder =
new NotificationCompat.Builder(this)
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.notification_icon)
.setContentTitle("My notification")
.setContentText("Hello World!")
