Illustration of BigTextStyle notification

Android notification is a common tool for notifying user with information. In usual notification, there is just one line for displaying content. Content is truncated at the end of the line when there is not enough space.

Android therefore adds a special notification style for solving this problem. It is BigTextStyle . It has two states — collapsed state and expanded state. Collapsed state is the same as the usual notification style with a line of title and a line of content. Expanded state consists of a new title with a multiple-lined content. See the above gif for a better illustration.
