Usually it's better use InboxStyle than HTML parts.

Spannable sb = new SpannableString("Bold text"); sb.setSpan(new StyleSpan(android.graphics.Typeface.BOLD), 0, 3, Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);

Notification notification = new Notification.Builder() .setContentTitle("5 New mails from " + sender.toString()) .setContentText(subject) .setSmallIcon(R.drawable.new_mail) .setLargeIcon(aBitmap) .setStyle(new Notification.InboxStyle() .addLine(str1) .addLine(sb); .setContentTitle("") .setSummaryText("+3 more")) .build();
