.

.

import android.app.Notification

import android.view.View

.

.

fun sendNotification(view: View) {

 

    val channelID = "com.ebookfrenzy.notifydemo.news"

 

    val notification = Notification.Builder(this@MainActivity,

            channelID)

            .setContentTitle("Example Notification")

            .setContentText("This is an example notification.")
