I am using Google's Push notification and I want to show the number of notification in the notification icon, instead of showing the multiple notifications. Something like this -
Is there a method or something in the Notification Class for android?
the Notification class should be used for displaying notifications on the top bar (like the Gmail notifications). From what I understood, you can just use a normal TextView applying some styles to make it look nice and place it inside your screen.
You can select the icon you will display when the notification is created.
With .setsmallIcon() I think.
I also encourage you to implement bigtextviews for JellyBean. NoficationCompat2 is a good library to manage this elegantly on different Android versions.

I would like to use an icon via a url as opposed to an already included drawable. Is this possible? The only method signature for setSmallIcon accepts an int for a Drawable resource.
However, what can I do if I want to include a smallIcon in the push notification that I'm sending? (Let's say for instance another user's gravatar).
No, you cannot set a custom smallIcon for a notification, as per the documentation and training section. However, as CommonsWare commented, you can set a custom largeIcon. This type of icon is shown when the user expands the notification panel, or on the "heads-up" notifications in Android 5.0+ (when the priority is at least HIGH). This can be done by calling setLargeIcon(myBitmap) on your Notification.Builder object. myBitmap can be any Bitmap object, loaded from the internet or otherwise.
I believe the reasoning behind this is so that the user can always quickly identify which apps are trying to notify them. Otherwise, the user would have to try to figure out what each new icon meant when just quickly checking notifications.
I came across this notification while doing some research and it has me wondering... how do you include this splash art in the notification list on Android?
I have not seen an Android app do this before. Checking Google's documentation (https://developer.android.com/preview/notifications.html), I don't see it mentioned.
Any thoughts or ideas on how this is accomplished?

You need a custom notification layout via RemoteViews. Have a look at the documentation.
You first create a RemoteViews with your custom layout. This is the normal XML file you are used to. Then call the Notification.Builder.setContent() and pass in your RemoteViews.
And, dont forget to set the small icon for your notification or else it just wont display.
I have a Service that has to run all the time, so after a long research I think that only way to have it running is use a Foreground Service, and for to use it, I need a notification. The problem starts when I have to set it, that it's always appearing the icon of the notification in the top of the screen and this is very disturbing. There's no problem if the notifications apears when you open the Notification Bar. I have an example of this case:
If you look to the image 1, I have the Facebook's Messenger popup window opened, but no notification there of the app. Ok, but If you see in the image 2 when I expand the bar, there's the notification. What kind of notification is this?
Image1 => https://db.tt/t7fLfGQP
Image2 => https://db.tt/ougBIOiF
Also I tried to set the Notification.PRIORITY_MIN and .SetOngoing(true) but I can't get the desired functionality. Can someone help me, please?
you can do this using setPriority(Notification.PRIORITY_MIN) but here you also add .SetOngoing(true) so Ongoing notifications cannot be manually removed from the notification drawer. so you have to remove this property and Try also get more Detail from here: http://developer.android.com/design/patterns/notifications.html
Thats it...
I do it like this:
RemoteViews views = new RemoteViews(..);
views.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.button1,pd);
noti.contentviews = views;
and then notify the notification.
I can see the button in the notification,
but the button can't be clicked.
When i click the button,the whole notification clicked!
How can i resolve this question?
I found everywhere for this,but nothing useful found.
someone said, some phones don't support the notification button,
but samsung galaxy s, the musicplayer's notification has button click event.
You cannot put interactive widgets, like a Button, in a Notification and get user input from them. These are for output display only.
We can made custom notification and put buttons into that and also can perform different functionality on that onClick function, recently I was stuck in the same problem but this link

I am pretty new to android. I am trying create an app that customizes the expanded view of the notification panel . For start , I would like to add one button at the top of the notifications panel that will delete the message.I have checked the reference from http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/notifiers/notifications.html , however , this is not helping much as it is the view of the each notification . That is not what I want , I want to add the button at the top of the panel for any notification. Could you please direct me what should or how should I go about doing that. Any idea , reference would be highly appreciated

You are welcome to create your own custom firmware for this. It is not possible via an Android SDK application.
