Addline of NotificationCompat.InboxStyle is not working

I am trying to make a chat application where my user will get notifications. The volume of notifications are so high, if I will make one entry for each notifications then it will fill up all the places, so I thought of applying BigTextView notifications or Stack of notifications.

I wrote below piece of code:

NotificationManager notificationManager = (NotificationManager)
        this.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
if(listMessage.size() <= 5)
listMessage.add(messagetype + ":" + msg);
else
{
     listMessage.remove(4);
     listMessage.add(messagetype + ":" + msg);
}
Intent notificationIntent = new Intent(this, GcmActivity.class);
notificationIntent.putExtra("title", messagetype);
notificationIntent.putExtra("message", msg);
PendingIntent intent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0,notificationIntent, 0);
notificationIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP
        | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP);
    NotificationCompat.Builder mBuilder;
        mBuilder =
                new NotificationCompat.Builder(this)
                        .setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher)
                        .setContentTitle("My MESSENGER")
                        .setStyle(new NotificationCompat.BigTextStyle()
                                .bigText("MESSAGES"))
                        .setContentText(msg)
                        .setAutoCancel(true)
                        .setLights(Color.WHITE, 1000, 5000)
                        .setDefaults(Notification.DEFAULT_VIBRATE |
                                Notification.DEFAULT_SOUND | Notification.DEFAULT_LIGHTS)
                        .setContentIntent(intent);

        NotificationCompat.InboxStyle inboxStyle =
                new NotificationCompat.InboxStyle();

        inboxStyle.setBigContentTitle("MESSAGES");
        for(int j= 0;j < listMessage.size();j++)
        {

            inboxStyle.addLine(listMessage.get(j));
        }

        mBuilder.setStyle(inboxStyle);
        notificationManager.notify(0, mBuilder.build());

This seems not to add lines in the notification. it just shows the setContentText and it shows nothing.

You may not have the expanded view of the notification. You need to swipe down within the notification (it works better with two fingers).
