Custom notification with two action button

Question

I am using following code to generate notifications with two action button and some details. Please help me, why i am not able to see action button in notification?

public static void sendNotification(Context mContext, int mode, String title, String message) { try { RemoteViews remoteViews = new RemoteViews(mContext.getPackageName(), R.layout.custom_notification);

    // Set Notification Title
    String strtitle = "Instevent";
    // Set Notification Text
    String strtext = "Event has created";

    // Open NotificationView Class on Notification Click
    Intent intent = new Intent(mContext, MainActivity.class);
    // Send data to NotificationView Class
    intent.putExtra("title", strtitle);
    intent.putExtra("text", strtext);
    // Open NotificationView.java Activity
    PendingIntent pIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(mContext, 0, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);

    NotificationCompat.Builder builder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(mContext)
    // Set Icon
            .setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_address_book)
            // Set Ticker Message
            .setTicker("Ticker message")
            // Dismiss Notification
            .setAutoCancel(true)
            // Set PendingIntent into Notification
            .setContentIntent(pIntent)
            // Set RemoteViews into Notification
            .setContent(remoteViews);

    // Locate and set the Image into customnotificationtext.xml
    // ImageViews
    remoteViews.setImageViewResource(R.id.nfImage, R.drawable.ic_action_accept);
    remoteViews.setTextViewText(R.id.nfEventName, "Custom notification");
    remoteViews.setTextViewText(R.id.nfEventTime, "This is a custom layout");
    remoteViews.setTextViewText(R.id.nfEventAddress, "This is a custom layout");

    // Create Notification Manager
    NotificationManager notificationmanager = (NotificationManager) mContext.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
    // Build Notification with Notification Manager
    notificationmanager.notify(0, builder.build());
}
catch (Exception e)
{
    e.printStackTrace();
    Log.print("Notification====>>", e.getMessage());
}

}

I had a similar error in my App. The problem was that RemoteViews does not support every kind of layout or view.

In your case, I think the problem is the <View/> part in your custom_notification.xml. Try removing or replacing it with a supported layout element. You can find them here: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/appwidgets/index.html#CreatingLayout
