How to load Glide cached image in NotificationCompat.Builder.setLargeIcon()?

Question

Like this image I am trying to set notification large icon as user profile thumbnail like whatsapp or other chatting apps

I have tried

 Glide.with(context)
            .asBitmap()
            .load(messageNotification.getLargeIcon())
            .into(new SimpleTarget<Bitmap>() {
                @Override
                public void onResourceReady(Bitmap resource, Transition<? super Bitmap> transition) {
                   builder.setLargeIcon(resource);

                }
            });

but it is not working.. Any Help?

If you set the large icon using glide..the you should also notify the NotificationManager onResourceReady(resource, transition)

.into(new SimpleTarget<Bitmap>() {
    @Override
    public void onResourceReady(Bitmap res, Transition<? super Bitmap> t) {
       builder.setLargeIcon(res);
       yourNotificationManager.notify(id, builder.build());

    }
});

This is because glide uses background thread to load image..so before your image is loaded into builder... the notification manager is already notified (mainthread) with builder not having large image..

SimpleTarget it is deprecated is there any other solution – Crinoid

@VinitPoojary use CustomTarget<Bitmap> – Underlayer
