Android notification developer getNotification () vs build ()

According to the documentation I saw, the android notification collector was introduced in API 11 and:

  • APIs 11 through 15 use the .getNotification () method to create an object notification
  • API 16 and later use .build () to create a notificaiton object.
It sounds simple enough, but how to write code in Eclipse that will call the correct method depending on the version of the API?

If your application supports devices older than API level 11, you should use NotificationCompat.Builder, in which case you can just use build()all the time.

getNotification() , API 16 . . , getNotification() build() .

API Runtime.

if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT>=android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN) {
  // call something for API Level 16+
} else if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT>=android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB) {
  // call something for API Level 11+
}
