Colored application name for Android notification

Question:

How can I make a coloured application name in the push notification on Android as shown in the screenshot below?

Answer:

1. First of all, you should create your own Custom Notification Factory. You can find the sample of Notification Factory by following the link below:

https://github.com/Pushwoosh/pushwoosh-android-sdk/blob/master/Samples/Android-Advanced/app/src/main/java/com/pushwoosh/sample/NotificationFactorySample.java

2. Next, create the custom layout. You can use this one from our application as an example.

https://github.com/Pushwoosh/pushwoosh-android-sdk/blob/master/Samples/Android-Advanced/app/src/main/res/layout/notification.xml

In the TextView section add android:textColor attribute and specify the necessary colour value, in the form of "#rgb", "#argb", "#rrggbb", or "#aarrggbb".

3. Finally, apply a custom layout you have created to the Custom Notification Factory using setCustomContentView method.
