        notificationManager.notify(0, noti);

    }

or start foreground service

startForeground(101,notification);

textView.setTypeface(null, Typeface.BOLD_ITALIC);
textView.setTypeface(null, Typeface.BOLD);
textView.setTypeface(null, Typeface.ITALIC);
textView.setTypeface(null, Typeface.NORMAL);

To keep the previous typeface

textView.setTypeface(textView.getTypeface(), Typeface.BOLD_ITALIC)

    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    getWindow().addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_KEEP_SCREEN_ON);
  }

or

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

private Handler handler = new Handler();
handler.postDelayed(runnable, 100);

private Runnable runnable = new Runnable() {
   @Override
   public void run() {
      /* do what you need to do */
      foobar();
      /* and here comes the "trick" */
      handler.postDelayed(this, 100);
   }
};

If you want it to stop, you can just call handler.removeCallback(runnable) and it won’t start again, until you tell it to
