Prevent user from dismissing notification
In addition to Andro Selvas answer:
If you are using the NotificationCompat.Builder, just use
builder.setOngoing(true);
Use the flag,FLAG_ONGOING_EVENT to make it persistent.
Notification notification = new Notification(icon, tickerText, when); notification.flags = Notification.FLAG_ONGOING_EVENT;Also you can check, FLAG_NO_CLEAR
I used the below code to make my notification persistent:
startForeground(yourNotificationId,notificationObject);
To make it dismissable, just do the below:
stopForeground(true);
