Is there an alternative to PRIORITY_MAX that is obsolete?

Question

I’m using the class NotificationCompat.Builder to create a notification where it has to be at the top with the highest priority.

I set the notification priority as follows:

notification.setPriority(Notification.PRIORITY_MAX);

However, Android Studio says the field PRIORITY_MAX this deprecated.

Question

Therefore, I would like to know if there is any alternative to PRIORITY_MAX and which is not deprecated or obsolete?

Answer 1

The method setPriority has become obsolete since the API 26 and in the documentation it is recommended to use setImportance

You can use IMPORTANCE_HIGH in place of PRIORITY_MAX.

Below the values that can be reported as parameter, these values are available from the API 24.

• IMPORTANCE_UNSPECIFIED
• IMPORTANCE_NONE
• IMPORTANCE_MIN
• IMPORTANCE_LOW
• IMPORTANCE_DEFAULT
• IMPORTANCE_HIGH
