I have service that I've used startForeground() method with a Notification.
i'm saving an instance of my Notification in order to update it easily.
there was no problem updating any of the field in it, but when i'm updating the ticker text and notifying the NotifcationManager about the change - it doesn't show my new ticker.
Is it event possible to update the Notification's ticker text of a foreground Service's Notification ?
Is so - any idea why isn't it updating and showing the new ticker on screen ?
I found a solution that feels funny.
I can call Service.stopForeground(true);
followed by Service.startForeground(myNotificationId, myNotification) with the notification with the new ticker and it does the trick but it doesn't make sense..

I have integrated pushwoosh in android application (not in titanium)..
I am successfully getting notification also..
My issue is,
Text is displayed on notification area which I passed from woosh..
BUT NOT ABLE to extract it from intent
intent.getExtras().getString(PushManager.PUSH_RECEIVE_EVENT)
Also my notification does not remain on notification area..
it only displayed once and disappear, I am not able to click on that
because it is not staying there..as like other notification..!!??
Please can anybody suggest any thing..?
For notification to remain on the notification bar there is falg to set in Android Notification.
Notification not= new Notification(R.drawable.icon,title+" "+context.getString(R.string.Start_in),System.currentTimeMillis());
not.flags=Notification.FLAG_NO_CLEAR;
For Android Notification there is One falg to Clear the notification or not. So I think there will some flag to Not clear the Notification when it arrives.
So Try to find out the flag for not clearing the Notification.
As you are setting flag for sound
pushManager.setSoundNotificationType(SoundType.ALWAYS);
I have an ongoing task and after it finishes, I want the notification to become cancelable.
For that, I create a new notification with notification.flags as zero, but the notification keeps being un-cancelable.
Apparently, FLAG_FOREGROUND_SERVICE prevented the notification from turning into cancelable, even after reseting the flags.
After removing FLAG_FOREGROUND_SERVICE and using only 0 or FLAG_ONGOING_EVENT, the notification could be made cancelable or un-cancelable - respectively.
Please take a look here : Android update notification
In short what you will do is this:
Create your notification first time and assign a notification ID to it.
Once your service is done executing create a new cancelable notification with the same id
fire that notification, it should make the previous notification cancelable .
I would like to animate the icon of the app without having to cancel the notification and create a new one (because in this way the icon doesn't stay in the same position of the notification bar but could move to first place if there are other notification running).
I'm able to get this with normal notification, but I would like to get the same behaviour when I use startForeground in my service. This method launches a new notification which can't be removed unless you remove service from foreground using stopForeground.
Is this possible to do? How?
Use the same notification ID for the startForeground method and the Notification object.
I'd like to selectively hide and show a notification based on what a user does.
Since that would happen pretty often, I'd like to have it appear in the notification dropdown without having the text message appear in the status bar every time I show it.
Task manager does it when I toggle it in its preference screen.
When you create the Notification object, pass null for the ticker text.
Notification n = new Notification(R.drawable.icon, null, System.currentTimeMillis());
I want to set a onClickListner for a status bar Notification. How it is possible ? Please help. Now i can load a Activity by using the pending intent. I like to set a onClickListner for the notificatioin.

It is not possible to set an OnClickListener for a notification. Because of the way notifications are handled/displayed there is no way to guarantee that the process that created the notification will be running at the time the notification is clicked. This means that any code you wrote to provide click handling may not be running.
If you need click listener style behavior you will have to do it using the PendingIntent: set it to start a Service that runs the logic or to use an Intent that is received by a BroadcastReceiver. This will let you perform activity without requiring a UI.
