# Notification Channel Example

The following example shows how to create a notification with a channel.

var channel = Ti.Android.NotificationManager.createNotificationChannel({
        id: 'my_channel',
        name: 'TEST CHANNEL',
        importance: Ti.Android.IMPORTANCE_DEFAULT
    }),
    notification = Ti.Android.createNotification({
        icon: Ti.Android.R.drawable.ic_dialog_info,
        contentTitle: 'TITLE',
        contentText : 'This is a test',
        channelId: channel.getId()
    });

Ti.Android.NotificationManager.notify(100, notification);

# Properties

# apiName READONLY

Availability
7.0.0
apiName :String

The name of the API that this proxy corresponds to.

The value of this property is the fully qualified name of the API. For example, Titanium.UI.Button returns Ti.UI.Button.


# bubbleParent

Availability
7.0.0
bubbleParent :Boolean

Indicates if the proxy will bubble an event to its parent.

Some proxies (most commonly views) have a relationship to other proxies, often established by the add() method. For example, for a button added to a window, a click event on the button would bubble up to the window. Other common parents are table sections to their rows, table views to their sections, and scrollable views to their views. Set this property to false to disable the bubbling to the proxy's parent.

Default: true

var listener = function() { Ti.API.info("Event listener called."); }
window.addEventListener('click', listener);

To remove the listener, pass in a reference to the callback function:

window.removeEventListener('click', listener);
