Notifications appear in the notification shade that is pulled down from the status bar of the screen and each notification can include actions such as a button to open the app that sent the notification. Android 7 has also introduced Direct Reply, a feature that allows the user to type in and submit a response to a notification from within the notification panel.
The goal of this chapter to outline and demonstrate the implementation of local notifications within an Android app. The next chapter ([[An Android 7 Firebase Remote Direct Reply Notification Tutorial]]) will cover the implementation of direct reply notifications, while the use of Firebase to initiate and send remote notifications will be covered in the chapter entitled [[An Android 7 Firebase Notifications Tutorial]].
