ICNotificationFactory

This class is responsible for creating local notifications for display on the device. By default, the SDK will only produce notifications for Push messages.

Customisations may be introduced by inheriting from this class and overriding onBuildNotification and getActionIconId.

📘
It is possible to completely replace the default notification generation by overriding createNotification instead of onBuildNotification. In this instance you are responsible for building the complete notification and will not get any of the pre-built interactive message functionality.

Return Type	Method
Notification	createNotification(Context context, ICMessage message, int notificationId, Bitmap bigPicture)
Notification	createNotification(Context context, ICMessage message, int notificationId, Bitmap bigPicture, Bitmap largeIcon)
int	getActionIconId(String action, String identifier, ICMessage message)
void	onBuildNotification(Context context, NotificationCompat.Builder builder, ICMessage message, int notificationId)
