Intents and Broadcast receivers

Now build it! Store it in the new Notification

DistressCallReceiver.java 
public class DistressCallReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {

    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
        // Add your code here!
        Notification.Builder notif = new Notification.Builder(context);
        notif.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_distress);
        notif.setContentTitle("Incoming Distress Signal");
        notif.setContentText("A distress call has been received from somewhere in space and time.");
        Notification.Builder.build();

    }
}

Hi Patrick,

You call .build() on your instance, notif and store it in a Notification variable like this:

Notification notification = notif.build();

I hope that helps,

Steve.
