You cannot specify from Message how many lines the notification will use when displayed. Android displays the text passed to it as is. Even if you are able to define how many lines the notification uses, that will have to be done on the Android side not the server side.

Generally you don't have control over how many lines are used in your notification. Like @Aspicas noted you can use the ContentText for a compact version of your message and then use BigTextStyle for a larger version of your message.

I did it like:-

Message message = new Message.Builder()
                             .timeToLive(30)
                             .delayWhileIdle(true)
                             .addData("title", msgTitle)
                             .addData("text", msgText)
                             .build();

And in the client app side, you can extract the title and text seperately and display it in two lines.

Try this:

NotificationManager notificationManager = getNotificationManager();
        PendingIntent pi = getPendingIntent();
        Builder builder = new Notification.Builder(this);
        builder.setContentTitle(title)
                .setContentText(message)
                .setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher)
                .setAutoCancel(true);

Notification notification = new Notification.BigTextStyle(builder).bigText(message).build();

NOTE

It's reports "an error": Call requires API level 16 but i'm using on Lower APIS...
