Help Challenge Task 2 of 5 error !!??

The instruction say: Next we want to build the notification with an icon, title, and text. Set the icon to R.drawable.ic_distress, the title to Incoming Distress Signal, and the text as A distress call has been received from somewhere in space and time..

And my code below, but when I click the check work it says Bummer! Make sure you use the text specified in the instructions!

I clearly have the same exact text as the instruction says.

DistressCallReceiver.java 
public class DistressCallReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {

    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
        // Add your code here!
      Notification.Builder notif = new Notification.Builder(context);
        notif.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_distress);
        notif.setContentTitle("Incoming Distress Signal");
        notif.setContentText("A distress call has been received from somewhere in space and time..");


    }
}
