public static class Notification.InboxStyle
extends Notification.Style



Helper class for generating large-format notifications that include a list of (up to 5) strings.

Here's how you'd set the InboxStyle on a notification:

 Notification notif = new Notification.Builder(mContext)
     .setContentTitle("5 New mails from " + sender.toString())
     .setContentText(subject)
     .setSmallIcon(R.drawable.new_mail)
     .setLargeIcon(aBitmap)
     .setStyle(new Notification.InboxStyle()
         .addLine(str1)
         .addLine(str2)
         .setContentTitle("")
         .setSummaryText("+3 more"))
     .build();
