There are several threads already on how to make custom layouts in the notification bar. The problem is I must be missing something simple.
I have a custom_notification_layout.xml. code...
What is the secret to actually updating the notification?

I am trying to create a notification that will appear in the "ongoing" area of the notification bar (like WeatherBug).
Here is the code that I am using:
PendingIntent intent = PendingIntent.getActivity(lastContext, 0, notifyIntent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT | Notification.FLAG_ONGOING_EVENT | Notification.FLAG_NO_CLEAR)
From what I understand, FLAG_NO_CLEAR, should also prevent the notification from being cleared by pressing the Clear button, this is also not working.
Does anyone know of an app that achieves the display of recently used apps in the notification dropdown area?Essentially, performing the same function that a long press on the home button does, but obviously eliminating the need to press a button. I've been looking for something like this for a good while, and was pleasantly surprised to see HTC had included this very function in their latest version of Sense.... when I went to the HTC London meet last week. unfortunately, the HTC guys demoing informed me there is currently no way to obtain this feature for current handsets.
View 3 Replies View Relatedtoday a strange icon started to show up in the notification area. It has no notification attached to it, restarting the device doesn't make it go away and neither am I aware of any app installed that could have caused this. Due to the resemblance the icon bears to the ICS logo, I thought it might be some system-based event (something like an android anniversary date or whatnot), yet it persisted through GMT midnight, which makes it seems less likely then it did when I found out. I tried an image-based search for any images and screenshots containing the said icon, but came out empty-handed. As Henzman said, it's the new icon of the Power Toggles app.

I haven't had it long enough to test the reception issues but I am unable to bring the notification area at the top of the screen down by swiping my finger. I can click 'menu>notifications' from the homescreen and that brings it up but I can't swipe it down - most odd. Although I have seen it come down about 30 seconds after I swipe it on occasion. This was the case with the old firmware and still is with the new. I've done soft and hard resets and it's still the case. Everything else on the phone works perfectly as far as I can see.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI live in an area where there is solid EVDO coverage yet my Hero doesnt display the 'EV' over the signal bars like it says it should according to the manual. My old Pre would tell me if I was on Sprint's EVDO network or 1x. Am I missing something?
Also, I constantly have a symbol of a satellite dish with flashing incoming network waves on my notification area even though I have turned off GPS and location services. I can't find anything about this symbol in the manual. anyone know what this is?
The GPS icon is now always on my notification area. This has only been happening for the past couple of days. Previously, it would come on when in use (e.g. using Google Maps or some other application that was using the GPS) and then would disappear when the application terminated.
I used Taskiller to terminate all running applications, but the GPS icon was still on after I killed ALL of the running applications. So, I'm assuming that it's not because of a new, or updated, application I installed.
It doesn't appear to be causing any problems, but wonder if it's really on and draining the battery more than necessary. Also, it was a reminder to me that I'd left an application running that was using the GPS.
Is anyone else seeing this?

View 2 Replies View RelatedJust a quick question, is there a way, with out installing a theme or Home replacement, to remove the text under the icons, so its just an icon only? also, is there a way to hide the notification area? I thought it would be cool to tap the screen once, and have the batter/time/date/notification area drop down from the top like how it is right now with the stock version, then tap the screen again and it hides the notification area. Wouldn't that be cool? Any way to do this or does something do this already?

I hate posting a query about something so seemingly simple. I googled around and can't find a duplication of the icon in the notification area of my new (since January) Eris running 1.5 stock.
I'll describe it: it in most ways resembles a little musical note, perhaps an eighth-note, but with a diagonal slash through it (not in a circle as the "no" sign).
Nothing running in the background, music-wise. On page 47 of the user guide/manual is a list of all stock icons; it is not there. No new apps have been installed for weeks.Any ideas as to what it could be?
I have a TF101g transformer. I just recently rooted it and installed Jelly bean with EOS-tf101-20130617-120.zip and gapps_4.2.2_TF101_20130323b.zip Everything seems to be working fine except with the notification area failing to show mounted sd, micro sd and usb drives. When they are inserted into the tablet I see in the notification area that the system is scanning the micro sd card but after it is mounted nothing is there. As a result it is difficult to unmount them except for going to settings and then storage device and then unmount them from there.
With Ice cream android, when I put in any sd cards, the notification area would have the sd cards listed. I could open it with a folder and browse it and I could unmount it also when finished with it.
What I must do to get the sd card listed in the notification area?
I am trying to update TextView in my Activity with text messages from DatagramServer ( see below) The problem I have is that "backgound UDP server receives plenty of traffic, but onProgessUpdate is ever executed only once so only the first of the messages appear in the TextView.
public class MyActivity extends Activity {
TextView txtStatus; // txtStatus initialized
new BackgroundAsyncTask().execute();
public class BackgroundAsyncTask extends
AsyncTask<Void, String, Void> {
public static final String SERVERIP = "127.0.0.1";
// 'Within' the emulator! public static final int SERVERPORT = 2222;
private DatagramSocket socket;
protected Void doInBackground(Void... params) {
try { InetAddress serverAddr = InetAddress.getByName(SERVERIP);
Log.d("UDP", "S: Waiting for connection...");
socket = new DatagramSocket(SERVERPORT, serverAddr);
while(true) { byte[] buf = new byte[1024];
DatagramPacket packet = new DatagramPacket(buf, buf.length);
Log.i("telemetry server", " waiting for packet");
socket.receive(packet);
Log.i("received", new Integer(packet.getLength()).toString());
Log.i("UDPServer received:", new String(packet.getData()));
publishProgress(new String(packet.getData()));
} } catch (Exception e) { Log.i("Dbg server", e.getMessage());
} // end of try Log.i("Dbg server", "Dbg server: Done.");
socket.close(); return null;
} @Override protected void onPostExecute(Void result) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
//it will never been shown in this exercise...
} @Override protected void onPreExecute() {

I've seen it discussed in a thread somewhere but can't find it. Is anyone working on an app to use the menu buttons as an LED notification? The moment for me would be close to perfect if there was some way to have lights for notification. If I were a programmer I would be working my buns off to write this app.

Took me a while to figure it out. Also, if you try to sync a DRM protected MP3, the X gets cranky and kind of freezes up and displays a get license in the notification area.

I recently purchased Xperia X10 mini pro handset, however I am facing with one problem.
I am not able to drag down the notification area when I am holding the mobile in portrait mode.
If I shift to landscape mode (by sliding the qwerty keyboard out), then when I press at the top status bar, I can drag the notification area down.
this is the current state/situation: I have an Activity which binds a Service which creates AsyncTasks which downloads various web resources. That works well, but of course the ProgressBar shows nothing. Previously i had an Activity which created an AsyncTask which downloaded some stuff. The AsyncTask got the View which holds the ProgressBar. So i could update the progress using onProgressUpdate and publishProgress. Obviously this doesn't work any longer because I have no reference to the ProgressBar.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a problem updating a progress bar.
First i have a custom adapter in which i create a row for each item with a textview and a progress bar. (i have a item_row.xml in where i define the layout for each row)
CODE:...............
Ok, now i have a service downloading in background data from an external API, and i want when to update the progress bar every second with the progress of the download.
For that, i have a timer task made with a handler (reference)
But the problem is how can i access again to the progress bars created in my adapter in order to update the progress?
I would like to know if it is possible to get 'leftover' calls to AsyncTask#onProgressUpdate after AsyncTask#onPostExecute has been called? I am setting text on the same TextView using both of them, and I don't want to set text such as "Done!" and then have it overwritten at a later point by text such as "Almost there - 90%"Also, I am assuming that the onProgressUpdate method works similar to a SwingWorker method in that multiple calls to publishProgress may stack up before a call to onProgressUpdate occurs. I would really like to know where the "newer" and "older" progress updates are on the parameter - aka are the newest updates at position 0 in the parameter, or at position progress.length?

View 4 Replies View RelatedIs there any way to detect whether the Notification Windows is being shown? I have a service that updates an ongoing notification, complete with a progress bar and text? Is there a way to know if the notifiication screen is actually being shown, so I can adjust how often I wouldn't be so concerned if not for the fact that the HTC Incredible will reboot after it receives several hundred or so updates. Based on a controlled experiment with a beta tester, the service could continue for 24 hours if it did not update progress, but dies after several hundred updates. So I am desperate to reduce the notifications, if that's what works, and one of the ways I could do that is by not updating as much or at all if that screen isn't being shown.
