call this method

private void triggerNotification(String s) {
    CharSequence title = "Hello";
    CharSequence message = s;
    NotificationManager notificationManager;
    notificationManager = (NotificationManager) context
            .getSystemService("notification");
    Notification notification;
    notification = new Notification(
            com.yourPackage.R.drawable.notification, "Notifiy.. ",
            System.currentTimeMillis());
    PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0,
        null, 0);
    notification.setLatestEventInfo(context, title, message, pendingIntent);
    notificationManager.notify(1010, notification);
}
