rfresh Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Apr 16, 2012 #1 When my app runs, I want to display a value in the top msg bar. Sorry I may not be calling it the correct name (top msg bar). I would need it to display even when my app is paused. Can someone point me to what docs I would need to look at? Thanks...

rfresh Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Apr 16, 2012 #3 Is there a way to just have text display (2 chars) in the notification area instead of an icon? Upvote 0
barx Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Apr 17, 2012 #4 A notification cannot have 'No Icon' you have to set a transparent Icon. The Ticker Text shown with notifications only shows for a few seconds. Just an idea ans I don't know how to do it off the top of my head. You could possibly build the icon drawable making it a image of the characters you wish to display. they set it as the notification icon. I would think this would require a canvas. Someone else could help more with this. Upvote 0
