How to set display name when sending with GMail API?

With the Gmail API, if you do not provide a FROM header, the FROM header is set to the sender's email address. If I set the FROM header to any of the following forms, Gmail displays a phishing warning to my recipients, stating "Be careful with this message. Gmail could not verify that it actually came from [...]":

name <[email protected]>

'name' <[email protected]>

"name" <[email protected]>

where name is in exactly the same form as my display name.

Is there any way to send my display name without creating the phishing warning?

If you are using Java client, you could use

MimeMessage email = new MimeMessage(Session.getDefaultInstance(new Properties(), null));
email.setFrom(new InternetAddress(fromEmailAddress,"displayName"));
email.addRecipient(javax.mail.Message.RecipientType.TO,
                new InternetAddress(toEmailAddress));
email.setSubject(messageSubject);

pass down the displayName to the InternetAddress constructor
