How to dismiss full screen intent to notification bar?

I am trying to display a notification about incoming call (from within my app) to a user. I found out that I can use NotificationCompat.Builder.setFullScreenIntent() to make a notification persistent on the top of the screen when application is running in the background.
However now when user does not answer the call and other party stops ringing how do I make that full screen intent disappear and show it inside a notification bar?
The only way I can think of is calling cancel() on that notification ID and creating a new one without full screen intent. But is this a good way of doing this? Is there a 'good practice' on how to achieve what I want?
Snippet showing how I create the notification:
public void displayNotification(String title, String text, int conversationId) {
// Create the NotificationChannel, but only on API 26+ because
// the NotificationChannel class is new and not in the support library
this.createNotificationChannel();
Intent intent = new Intent(context, MainActivity.class);
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK|Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this.context, 0, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_IMMUTABLE);
NotificationCompat.Builder builder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this.context, this.channelID);
builder.setContentTitle(title);
builder.setContentText(text);
builder.setSmallIcon(R.mipmap.ic_launcher);
builder.setFullScreenIntent(pendingIntent, true);
NotificationManagerCompat notificationManager = NotificationManagerCompat.from(this.context);
notificationManager.notify(conversationId, builder.build());
}

How to change text in status bar dynamically

I want to create an app that will show internet speed as notification in status bar the problem is that when i create notification it only shows icon but i think this is not the way (if you think there is a way using this then how ?) i used this codes snippet to show notification but what changes to do if i want the result that others are getting as you can see also in screen shot in the leftmost side :
Intent intent = new Intent(this, MainActivity.class);
PendingIntent contenIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this,
0, intent, 0);
NotificationCompat.Builder notification = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this, CHANNEL_ID_2)
.setLargeIcon(getBitmapFromString("22", 20, this))
.setContentTitle("Title")
.setContentText("Description")
.setPriority(NotificationCompat.PRIORITY_HIGH)
.setContentIntent(contenIntent)
.setVisibility(NotificationCompat.VISIBILITY_PUBLIC)
.setTicker("23")
.setSmallIcon(android.R.drawable.screen_background_light_transparent)
.setOnlyAlertOnce(true);
NotificationManagerCompat notificationManager = NotificationManagerCompat.from(this);
notificationManager.notify(1, notification.build());
The text changes in notification per second and it is not fake.
I have already tried this solution but not accurate since it overlaps with notification icon.
Any help will be appreciated thanks in advance.

You can draw the text that you want to display on a bitmap and then set that as an icon to the notification.
NotificationCompat.Builder notification = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this, CHANNEL_ID_2);
notification.setSmallIcon(Icon.createWithBitmap(getBitmapIcon()))
implement getBitmapIcon() and return the bitmap icon that you want to display.

How to make .addAction do something

This may have been asked before but I'm still not sure of what to do. I am new to android studio and creating an app in general thus all terms seems foreign to me. Not sure where to go when I click snooze or when I click stop. Should I make a function for the snooze? If so, how do I tie it back to the addAction function?
PendingIntent main = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0,
new Intent(context, Homepage.class),0 );
NotificationCompat.Builder notif = new NotificationCompat.Builder(context)
.setContentTitle("Hello alarm")
.addAction(R.mipmap.ic_launcher_round, "Snooze", main)
.addAction(R.mipmap.ic_launcher_round, "Stop", main)
.setSmallIcon(R.mipmap.ic_launcher_round);

You are almost there. You have set the actions to call the main PendingIntent, what you miss to do is to actually build this notification and register it. From the official android documentation https://developer.android.com/training/notify-user/build-notification.html
it remains to write:
// Sets an ID for the notification
int mNotificationId = 001;
// Gets an instance of the NotificationManager service
NotificationManager mNotifyMgr =
(NotificationManager) getSystemService(NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
// Builds the notification and issues it.
mNotifyMgr.notify(mNotificationId, notif.build());

Android: Using AUTO-CANCEL on a notification when your app is running in the background

I have looked at all the other AUTO-CANCEL-not-working questions here, and they all seem to involve mistakes that I am not making. I have tried both
builder.setAutoCancel(true);
and
Notification notif = builder.build();
notif.flags |= Notification.FLAG_AUTO_CANCEL;
Neither works.
I am using NotificationCompat since my minimum API is 8. Here is my full code. In this particular notification, I am not calling an intent, since I don't need the user to do anything.
NotificationCompat.Builder builder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this);
builder.setContentTitle(getString(R.string.app_name) + ": my title");
builder.setContentText(message);
builder.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.notification_icon);
Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.prog_icon);
builder.setLargeIcon(bitmap);
builder.setAutoCancel(true); // dismiss notification on user click
NotificationManager notiManager = (NotificationManager)getSystemService(NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
notiManager.notify(MY_NOTI_MANAGER_ID, builder.build());
The notification displays just perfectly. You can swipe to clear it. But simply tapping it does not dismiss the notification. It just lights up and stay there.
Some possible differences between my code and others' posted here:
1) I am using NotificationCompat (which should not make a difference, but we've heard that before).
2) Since my notification is simple, I do not attach an intent.
Please let me know if you have any insights.
Edit: My purpose is to dismiss a notification without foregrounding my background app.

So apparently you do need a pending intent.
At Android - notification manager, having a notification without an intent, I found a solution that grabs the current active application as your pending intent (so that you don't have to start your own activity in order to dismiss the notification).
I just added the following two lines of code (right after setting the auto-cancel):
PendingIntent notifyPIntent =
PendingIntent.getActivity(getApplicationContext(), 0, new Intent(), 0);
builder.setContentIntent(notifyPIntent);
It worked great. I would say that if you don't want your activity to restart as a result of the user clicking your notification, then this is your best option.

You appear to be missing the PendingIntent and setContentIntent() call. I believe that is required for auto-cancel to work.
Here is some Notification-displaying logic from this sample project that works:
private void raiseNotification(Intent inbound, File output, Exception e) {
NotificationCompat.Builder b=new NotificationCompat.Builder(this);
b.setAutoCancel(true).setDefaults(Notification.DEFAULT_ALL)
.setWhen(System.currentTimeMillis());
if (e == null) {
b.setContentTitle(getString(R.string.download_complete))
.setContentText(getString(R.string.fun))
.setSmallIcon(android.R.drawable.stat_sys_download_done)
.setTicker(getString(R.string.download_complete));
Intent outbound=new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
outbound.setDataAndType(Uri.fromFile(output), inbound.getType());
b.setContentIntent(PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, outbound, 0));
}
else {
b.setContentTitle(getString(R.string.exception))
.setContentText(e.getMessage())
.setSmallIcon(android.R.drawable.stat_notify_error)
.setTicker(getString(R.string.exception));
}
NotificationManager mgr=
(NotificationManager)getSystemService(NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
mgr.notify(NOTIFY_ID, b.build());
}

Hai dear friend if you want to show non cancelable
notification(not cancelable for users) for a particular
time and after that you need clear it (like the music player) you can use this.
mNotificationBuilder .setSmallIcon(android.R.drawable.btn_plus);
mNotificationBuilder .setContentTitle("My notification");
mNotificationBuilder .setContentText("Notificattion From service");
mNotificationBuilder .setLights(0xFF0000FF, 500, 500);
Notification note = mNotificationBuilder.build();
note.flags = Notification.FLAG_ONGOING_EVENT; // For Non cancellable notification
mNotificationManager.notify(NOTIFICATION_ID, note);

Notifications disappear as soon as service ends

I've got a service that scrapes a website for data then if necessary gives the user a notification.
The problem I'm having is that the notifications disappear as soon as the service closes (which could be instantly). The below code is all of the notification code the app has. I haven't put in any code to cancel the notifications.
public static void CreateNotificationCompat(int notificationID, String link, String title, String text, Context ctx)
{
Intent notificationIntent = new Intent("android.intent.action.VIEW", Uri.parse(link));
PendingIntent contentIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(ctx.getApplicationContext(), 0, notificationIntent, 0);
NotificationManager nm = (NotificationManager) ctx
.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
NotificationCompat.Builder builder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(ctx);
Resources res = ctx.getResources();
builder.setContentIntent(contentIntent)
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.notify_icon)
.setWhen(System.currentTimeMillis())
.setContentTitle(title)
.setContentText(text)
.setAutoCancel(false);
Notification n = builder.getNotification();
nm.notify(notificationID, n);
}
If it makes any difference (pretty sure it doesn't) i'm using the application context here.
My services is started periodically, processes a website, notifies if needed and then closes.
At the end of my service instead of just calling stopSelf() i sleep for 30 or so seconds and then call stopSelf(). Then the notification stays for 30 seconds and then disappears. Nothing relevant appears in logcat at the time the notifications disappear.
I've only been able to test using ICS so far.

The code you have posted works. I tested it from both an activity and a service on jb, and the notification stays when the components are stopped. I even verified that I could kill the process and the notification stays. Try to strip down the app and see if the problem persists. Specifically check to see that you don't call cancel on the notification by mistake.

You seem to forgot check developer manual first. See here http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/notifiers/notifications.html and look for FLAG_ONGOING_EVENT and FLAG_NO_CLEAR flags.

That's why simulators are quite useful. Try it. It's part of SDK.

Please try the old way on the same device and tell us if it behaves the same way:
private static void CreateNotificationCompat(int notificationID, String link, String title, String text, Context ctx) {
String ns = Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE;
NotificationManager mNotificationManager = (NotificationManager) ctx.getSystemService(ns);
Notification notification = new Notification(R.drawable.notify_icon, title, System.currentTimeMillis());
notification.flags = Notification.FLAG_AUTO_CANCEL;
PendingIntent contentIntent;
Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
Intent notificationIntent = new Intent("android.intent.action.VIEW", Uri.parse(link));
contentIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(ctx, notificationID,
notificationIntent, 0);
notification.setLatestEventInfo(ctx, title, text,
contentIntent);
mNotificationManager.notify(notificationID, notification);
}

Just aa note this behaviour occurs when startForeground() is used and then stopSelf() is called.
