You can set up a custom notification, and you can add more useful information to the user.
When setting up your notification, if you want to put your own layout (and therefore more information to the user) you would need to add the "Builder.setStyle ()" function.
An example would look like this:
NotificationCompat.Builder mBuilder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this)
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.notification_icon)
.setContentTitle("Event tracker")
.setContentText("Events received")
NotificationCompat.InboxStyle inboxStyle =
new NotificationCompat.InboxStyle();
String[] events = new String[6];
// Sets a title for the Inbox in expanded layout
inboxStyle.setBigContentTitle("Event tracker details:");
...
// Moves events into the expanded layout
for (int i=0; i < events.length; i++) {
inboxStyle.addLine(events[i]);
}
// Moves the expanded layout object into the notification object.
mBuilder.setStyle(inBoxStyle);
...
// Issue the notification here.
Google has good documentation for this:
