How to create android push notifications with custom view

Android - How To Create Push Notifications With Custom View? Today, most Android applications are integrated with the option to send push notifications. Developers and app publishers consider this capability as one of the most important actions in maintaining the relationship with their users and the ability to motivate them into performing certain actions within the app. However, in most applications the display of push notification message is quite basic - a miniature version of the app icon, a title (most of the time it will be the app name), with a short description below it. Push notification message can be much more interesting! One of the better examples for it, is the way in which Groupon send their push messages - big and seductive picture, with important details such as price and the amount of discount. They also display action buttons! In this tutorial we will learn how to create a rich push notification message. Integrating Push Notifications in your app If your app doesn’t yet support in basic push notification, please refer to PushApps short tutorial: https://wiki.pushapps.mobi/display/PUSHAPPS/Android+Getting+Started This tutorial assumes you have completed the basic push notifications integration, and you are able to receive notifications to your device.

PushManager.init(getBaseContext(), GOOGLE_API_PROJECT_NUMBER, PUSHAPPS_APP_TOKEN); PushManager.getInstance(getApplicationContext()) .setShouldStartIntentAsNewTask(false); // these methods are both optional and used for the notification // customization PushManager.getInstance(getApplicationContext()).setShouldStackNotifications(true); } 2. We want PushApps to notify us when a new push notification received to the device. For that, we need to implement the PushAppsMessageInterface. @Override public void onCreate() { super.onCreate(); // first we initialize the push manager, you can also initialize the // PushManager in your main activity. PushManager.init(getBaseContext(), GOOGLE_API_PROJECT_NUMBER, PUSHAPPS_APP_TOKEN); PushManager.getInstance(getApplicationContext()).setShouldStartIntentAsNewTask(false); // these methods are both optional and us
