How to create android notification to keep foreground service alive?
Hi community,
I have been trying to implement a foreground service for android using native code. I have no issue with creating the service itself, but I need to create a notification to inform the user, otherwise the system kills the service after 5 seconds.
I tried this code to create the notification:
NotificationCompat.Builder builder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this, CHANNEL_ID)
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.notification_icon)
.setContentTitle(textTitle)
.setContentText(textContent)
.setPriority(NotificationCompat.PRIORITY_DEFAULT);
But it causes the following error. Apparently Unity cannot find the NotificationCompat class.
06-27 11:30:59.643 9748 9777 E Unity : AndroidJavaException: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Failed resolution of: Landroidx/core/app/NotificationCompat$Builder;
06-27 11:30:59.643 9748 9777 E Unity : java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Failed resolution of: Landroidx/core/app/NotificationCompat$Builder;
Does anybody know an example of how to start a foreground service in android from unity? Or a recent example of how to implement notifications? Most examples on the internet are too old and don't work for android version of API 26 (Oreo) or above.
Regards, David
$$anonymous$$aybe the problem is that I use an androidx library in Android Studio and NotificationCompat is androidx.core.app.NotificationCompat. I found that some people are having problems combining androidx libraries and unity. Still I don't know how to solve the issue.
Hi,
yes. Actually I hired a freelancer on fiverr to do it for me. The Plugin he made didn't work properly but it helped me to spot the errors I made. It was worth the money afer I spent more than a week without any luck.
Mostly these were errors in the gradle files and unity setup.
Here the link to the fiverr page of that guy: https://www.fiverr.com/koradiyaabhay/develop-android-native-plugin-for-unity?source=order_page_summary_gig_link_title&funnel=9ea84578-4cc3-4263-96fe-fc8e23bc7f8e
Did you have any luck creating a Foreground Service plugin?
