Custom notification

Question

How to create a received message notification to look like a other sms notifications. My notification does not look like the notifications of the usual sms app as for the notification of the usual sms app then it has a drop down that when clicked the entire message body can be seen with a button for calling the sender or replying. 

    NotificationCompat.Builder builder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(context)  
                .SetSmallIcon(Resource.Drawable.ic_chat).SetLargeIcon(BitmapFactory.DecodeResource(Resources.System, Resource.Drawable.ic_chat))  
                 
                .SetAutoCancel(true)  
                .SetStyle(inbox)  
                .SetDefaults(NotificationCompat.DefaultAll);
