Android Toast Message Notification

Android Toast notification is a message that pops up on the surface of the window. It only fills the amount of space required for the message,the user activity remains visible and interactive . The notification remains on the screen for sometimes and fades away.

To display a simple Toast,we need to makeText for that Toast and then call show() to display it.
The code used for Toast notification is :

Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Toast Message", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

Here makeText has three parameters :

1. Context - The application Context.
2. Text- The Text message that need to be Displayed.
3. Duration - The Duration of the Toast to be Displayed.
