Android notification is not showing

The code won’t work without an icon. So, add the setSmallIcon call to the builder chain like this for it to work:

.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.icon)

Android Oreo (8.0) and above

Android 8 introduced a new requirement of setting the channelId property by using a NotificationChannel.

NotificationManager mNotificationManager;

NotificationCompat.Builder mBuilder =
    new NotificationCompat.Builder(mContext.getApplicationContext(), "notify_001");
Intent ii = new Intent(mContext.getApplicationContext(), RootActivity.class);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(mContext, 0, ii, 0);

NotificationCompat.BigTextStyle bigText = new NotificationCompat.BigTextStyle();
bigText.bigText(verseurl);
bigText.setBigContentTitle("Today's Bible Verse");
bigText.setSummaryText("Text in detail");

mBuilder.setContentIntent(pendingIntent);
mBuilder.setSmallIcon(R.mipmap.ic_launcher_round);
mBuilder.setContentTitle("Your Title");
mBuilder.setContentText("Your text");
mBuilder.setPriority(Notification.PRIORITY_MAX);
mBuilder.setStyle(bigText);

mNotificationManager =
    (NotificationManager) mContext.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);

// === Removed some obsoletes
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.O)
{
    String channelId = "Your_channel_id";
    NotificationChannel channel = new NotificationChannel(
                                        channelId,
                                        "Channel human readable title",
                                        NotificationManager.IMPORTANCE_HIGH);
   mNotificationManager.createNotificationChannel(channel);
  mBuilder.setChannelId(channelId);
}

mNotificationManager.notify(0, mBuilder.build());
