If someone reading this, there is a method here. it is better to specify a tag name also with id, so that it will help if you are bundling the part as a module to share with developers.

NOTE: The problem with assigning some random integer id is that, if any module or library uses the same id, your notification will be replaced by new notification data.

// here createID method means any generic method of creating an integer id
int id = createID();
// it will uniqly identify your module with uniq tag name & update if present.
mNotifyManager.notify("com.packagename.app", id, mBuilder.build());
