How to implement the deprecated methods of Notification

This is how i ended up to the solution:

if (currentapiVersion < android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB) {

            notification = new Notification(icon, text, time);
            notification.setLatestEventInfo(this, title, text, contentIntent); // This method is removed from the Android 6.0
            notification.flags |= Notification.FLAG_AUTO_CANCEL;
            mNM.notify(NOTIFICATION, notification);
        } else {
            NotificationCompat.Builder builder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(
                    this);
            notification = builder.setContentIntent(contentIntent)
                    .setSmallIcon(icon).setTicker(text).setWhen(time)
                    .setAutoCancel(true).setContentTitle(title)
                    .setContentText(text).build();

            mNM.notify(NOTIFICATION, notification);
        }

Edit:

The above solution works. Still, since, NotificationCompat.Builder class was introduced, we can skip the if condition for checking that compares current API version. So, we can simply remove the if...else condition, and go with:

NotificationCompat.Builder builder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(
                        this);
notification = builder.setContentIntent(contentIntent)
                      .setSmallIcon(icon).setTicker(text).setWhen(time)
                      .setAutoCancel(true).setContentTitle(title)
                      .setContentText(text).build();
mNM.notify(NOTIFICATION, notification);
