| ↳ | android.app.Notification.BubbleMetadata | 
Encapsulates the information needed to display a notification as a bubble.
A bubble is used to display app content in a floating window over the existing
 foreground activity. A bubble has a collapsed state represented by an icon and an
 expanded state that displays an activity. These may be defined via
 Builder.Builder(PendingIntent, Icon) or they may
 be defined via an existing shortcut using Builder.Builder(String).

Fields
Public methods
describeContents
public int describeContents ()
Describe the kinds of special objects contained in this Parcelable
 instance's marshaled representation. For example, if the object will
 include a file descriptor in the output of writeToParcel(android.os.Parcel, int),
 the return value of this method must include the
 CONTENTS_FILE_DESCRIPTOR bit.
| Returns | |
|---|---|
| int | a bitmask indicating the set of special object types marshaled
 by this Parcelable object instance.
 Value is either 0orCONTENTS_FILE_DESCRIPTOR | 
getAutoExpandBubble
public boolean getAutoExpandBubble ()
| Returns | |
|---|---|
| boolean | whether this bubble should auto expand when it is posted | 
getDeleteIntent
public PendingIntent getDeleteIntent ()
| Returns | |
|---|---|
| PendingIntent | the pending intent to send when the bubble is dismissed by a user, if one exists
 This value may be null. | 
getDesiredHeight
public int getDesiredHeight ()
| Returns | |
|---|---|
| int | the ideal height, in DPs, for the floating window that app content defined by getIntent()for this bubble. A value of 0 indicates a desired height has
 not been set. | 
getDesiredHeightResId
public int getDesiredHeightResId ()
| Returns | |
|---|---|
| int | the resId of ideal height for the floating window that app content defined by getIntent()for this bubble. A value of 0 indicates a res value has not
 been provided for the desired height. | 
getIcon
public Icon getIcon ()
| Returns | |
|---|---|
| Icon | the icon that will be displayed for this bubble when it is collapsed, or nullif the bubble is created viaBuilder.Builder(String). | 
getIntent
public PendingIntent getIntent ()
| Returns | |
|---|---|
| PendingIntent | the pending intent used to populate the floating window for this bubble, or
 null if this bubble is created via Builder.Builder(String). | 
getShortcutId
public String getShortcutId ()
| Returns | |
|---|---|
| String | the shortcut id used for this bubble if created via Builder.Builder(String)or null if created
 viaBuilder.Builder(PendingIntent, Icon). | 
isBubbleSuppressable
public boolean isBubbleSuppressable ()
Indicates whether the bubble should be visually suppressed from the bubble stack if the user is viewing the same content outside of the bubble. For example, the user has a bubble with Alice and then opens up the main app and navigates to Alice's page.
To match the activity and the bubble notification, the bubble notification should
 have a LocusId set that matches a locus id set on the activity.
| Returns | |
|---|---|
| boolean | whether this bubble should be suppressed when the same content is visible outside of the bubble. | 
isBubbleSuppressed
public boolean isBubbleSuppressed ()
Indicates whether the bubble is currently visually suppressed from the bubble stack.
| Returns | |
|---|---|
| boolean | |
isNotificationSuppressed
public boolean isNotificationSuppressed ()
Indicates whether the notification associated with the bubble is being visually
 suppressed from the notification shade. When true the notification is
 hidden, when false the notification shows as normal.
 
Apps sending bubbles may set this flag so that the bubble is posted without the associated notification in the notification shade.
Generally the app should only set this flag if the user has performed an action to request or create a bubble, or if the user has seen the content in the notification and the notification is no longer relevant.
The system will update this flag with true to hide the notification
 from the user once the bubble has been expanded.
| Returns | |
|---|---|
| boolean | whether this bubble should suppress the notification when it is posted | 
writeToParcel
public void writeToParcel (Parcel out, int flags)
Flatten this object in to a Parcel.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
| out | Parcel: The Parcel in which the object should be written.
 This value cannot benull. | 
| flags | int: Additional flags about how the object should be written.
 May be 0 orParcelable.PARCELABLE_WRITE_RETURN_VALUE.
 Value is either0or a combination ofParcelable.PARCELABLE_WRITE_RETURN_VALUE, and android.os.Parcelable.PARCELABLE_ELIDE_DUPLICATES |
