I am very new to programming and would like to know what is the best way to go about creating a notification icon badge similar to the ones on the iPhone apps. This would be basically for creating a badge for the notifications that end up in the notification bar.

I'm a longtime iPhone user (since 3G) who just switched to Android and the Galaxy Note 3 this week. There are several things I miss about iOS, and one of them is badge notifications without the need for a 3rd party app. Ideally, when I'm due a notification from Facebook, I want only a badge notification on the app's icon, like you do in iOS, and I'm getting that with "Missed it!" installed. However, I don't want an actual notification (via audible tone and indicator) in the notification bar. Is it possible to disable notifications via the notification bar, but still have it display a badge notification on the icon?
View 1 Replies View RelatedOn the iPhone, you can add a numbered badge to the application icon. On BlackBerry, I've successfully painted an image onto the application's icon while in the program. I want to do this for Android as well. I don't want to use the notification bar, as it's not something that needs to be notified instantly. Instead, I just want the user to be able to see how many new messages are in the application just by looking at the application icon.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI wanted to create a notification without the icon in the status bar (the state that is not expanded). I tried the custom expanded view and set the icon for this view only. But it did not work. When I give 0 as icon to the constructor, the icon disappears but notification also does not appear in the expanded view.
Notification notification = new Notification(0, "", 0); I tried a lot of combinations but didn't come out with a solution. By the way, I know it is working because I saw this feature in some apps. Thanks.
Is it possible to hide just the notification icon without hiding the notification itself from pulldown?
Use case: Yahoo Weather app, the persistent notification in the pulldown is beautiful. I want it to always be there. However, the little temperature notification icon is pretty ugly, and I want to hide/disable it.
Using JB's "disable notifications" won't work since it will disable the entire notification, not just the icon.
I am trying to add badges to the icons in my android app. e.g. in the facebook app(for iPhone), in the home page the number of pending requests is shown on the requests icon.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI would like my application icon to be available to other applications.
I understand this is a bit unclear so will try explain:
Applications such as Astros program manager lists applications with their icon. For all apps this is the correct icon as on the launcher, except mine which is displaying the standard android icon. I have set my icon as the manifest using: android:icon="@drawable/runninglate"
This works on the launcher but Astro still shows the default icon from when I create the project (which I deleted a long time ago). I have also tried renaming my icon file to icon.png in case this was a standard. This also failed to work.
What I'm doing is getting a list of all the current running processes on the phone. Which I have done by,
private List<RunningAppProcessInfo> process;
private ActivityManager activityMan;
...
activityMan = (ActivityManager)getSystemService(Context.ACTIVITY_SERVICE);
process = activityMan.getRunningAppProcesses();
this works fine. When I call the processName field like
process.get(i).processName;
I get a name like com.android.mail for example.
what I'm trying to do is use this to get access to that application so I can display its icon to the user, but I cant find anything that lets me do this.
I'm testing this app on my hero so the api level is 3 (android 1.5).
How can I create a Button with icon and text?
View 7 Replies View RelatedNotification and NotificationManager are used to create icons to be placed on the top-left position of the screen. A Notification also need to have an entry on the status bar pull-down.
However, icons on the right side such as the battery, signal strength, wireless indicators do not need any entry on the status bar.
How do I make such icons without any entry in the status bar pull-down?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm using Xcode for a while, and I'd like to start developing Android Applications. However, the SDK is for Eclipse. I personally don't like Eclipse, because of the UI and it starts to suck on my iMac. I was wondering if it is possible to create Android Applications with the Xcode Tools so I can stay with my old friend Xcode (and maybe even Interface Builder (very unlikely) รถ). Can anyone tell me?

I have placed an icon on the status bar. I would like to run a method of another class whenever the user selects that icon. I've seen similar functionality used in volume icons that sit on the status bar that allow a user to raise or lower the volume when the icon is clicked. However, these icons are on the right side of the status bar, and from what I've seen, I'm not allowed to put an icon there. I don't know if that kind of functionality is available to left side icons. So basically, I'm looking for how to run a function when a status bar icon is clicked. I don't want to open an activity, I just want to run a function.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI want to show a notification icon in my application, but to take the icon from a different package.My application loads resources from external packages, and ,may show some information in the notification bar. I can take the title and text from the external package, but the icon can be specified only as resource ID, and Android extract the resource from the running context.
View 3 Replies View RelatedThe Notification API allows to set a drawable resource id for the icon of a notification. This drawable resource id is used to put the icon in the status bar and in the expanded window shade.This is a limitation if the icon images are to be represented by a Drawable or from a content provider at runtime. I propose that the Notification class adds fields (or methods) that would allow to set a Drawable or an Uri for the notification icon. This Drawable or Uri would then be used by the system notification service to put the icon in the status bar and in the expanded window shade.
View 2 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to display a custom icon (i.e., an icon which is a application resource) on a notification ? For sounds you can pass a Uri which makes possible to play custom sounds when notifying, but for the icon you only pass the resource id when creating the Notification object, which as I understand makes possible only to display the system icons (i.e., those on android.R).
