Espresso test for Notification to showing up

Question

I want to test that when I receive push, Notification will be showing up. And it might be as well to check its properties (like title, set intent and so on.)

How can

Answer 1

Espresso UI test framework doesn't see more than actual View. I doubt seriously that you can check any notification with Espresso.

For this purpose use another Googles testing framework uiautomator, which is described as:

UI Automator is a UI testing framework suitable for cross-app functional UI testing across system and installed apps.

Here you would find how to use it with Espresso: http://qathread.blogspot.com/2015/05/espresso-uiautomator-perfect-tandem.html
