2 Android ActiveNotifications Sample
3 ===================================
4
5 Notification Groups and the Notification Manager can be used together to simplify
6 how users experience notifications. This sample demonstrates how
7 the NotificationManager can tell you how many notifications your
8 application is currently showing. It also shows how to manage the
9 notifications as a group and introduce a summary for the group, when
10 supported by the platform.
11
12 Introduction
13 ------------
14
15 Notifications can now be grouped.
16
17 Starting with Android N, you can set notification groups for notifications
18 and define a notification group summary.
19
20 In Android M, you can query for the active notifications that your app sent
21 sing the [notify][2] methods.
22
23 This sample demonstrates simple use of these features by allowing a user
24 to add notifications and then query how many notifications
25 are currently being displayed via the [getActiveNotifications()][3] method.
