converting drawable resource image into bitmap

You probably mean Notification.Builder.setLargeIcon(Bitmap), right? :)

Bitmap largeIcon = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.large_icon);
notBuilder.setLargeIcon(largeIcon);

This is a great method of converting resource images into Android Bitmaps.

Drawable myDrawable = getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.logo);
Bitmap myLogo = ((BitmapDrawable) myDrawable).getBitmap();

Since API 22 getResources().getDrawable() is deprecated, so we can use following solution.

Drawable vectorDrawable = VectorDrawableCompat.create(getResources(), R.drawable.logo,  getContext().getTheme());
Bitmap myLogo = ((BitmapDrawable) vectorDrawable).getBitmap();

Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(context.getResources(), R.drawable.my_drawable);

Context can be your current Activity.

Here is another way to convert Drawable resource into Bitmap in android:

Drawable drawable = getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.input);
Bitmap bitmap = ((BitmapDrawable)drawable).getBitmap();

First Create Bitmap Image

Bitmap bmp = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.image);

now set bitmap in Notification Builder Icon....

Notification.Builder.setLargeIcon(bmp);
