notifications don't work with ics?

[pjsmith]

Hi,

I have an app that worked fine on my htc desire, but after an upgrade to a htc one s, whilst notifications still vibrate or sound off and get reported in my app, they no longer appear in the notification bar at the top of the screen.

Does anything different need to be done for ics? Maybe it's a sense thing?

Thanks.

I only have a tablet that runs ICS, so it may be different. On mine, tapping on the time brings up notifications, but I know that HTC sense has a lot of different features.

Should work

They should work, on my Galaxy Nexus it works fine.

I'm not familiar with any issue regarding notifications and ICS. Make sure that there is room for the notification icon.

Just revisiting this after a bit of a rest and the b4a upgrade!

Still cannot get this to work for some weird reason. I reduced the size of my notification icon to 24x24, but still it does not work.

My code is

' Show notification
Dim n As Notification
n.Initialize
n.icon = "androidicon"
n.AutoCancel=True
n.Insistent=False
n.Light=True
' set different behaviour for different priorities
If t.Priority = 0 Then n.Sound=False
If t.Priority > 0 Then n.Sound=True
If t.Priority = 2 Then n.Insistent=True
If t.Priority = -1 Then
n.Sound=False
n.Vibrate=False
End If
n.SetInfo("New alert", Data, Main)
' run the alert
n.Notify(alertId)

The vibrate, sounds etc work fine and if I drag down the notification bar the alert cancels, but I don't see the notification like I used to prior to changing my handset to the OneS. Anyone else had this with Sense ? (just wondering if it's an HTC thing, though it worked fine on my old desire)

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

I'm mostly working with Android ICS (Galaxy Nexus) and notifications work fine. Maybe you should create a small project with the icon and upload it?

Notifications working fine so far on the wifes new Galaxy S III. Which is ICS. There seems to be a few niggles popping up regarding the HTC One series. Maybe they did too much tweaking.

OK. Following Erels advice, if anyone could test/review this very, very simple project for me and let me know if it works on their device, I'd be grateful. On the OneS, no notifications appear, though the vibrate etc does happen. I tried installing in an emulated device as I don;t have other hardware to test. It didn't work there either. This was a 4.03 virtual device.

I have no problem with notifications on my One X or my ICS tablet.

Try setting the notify id to 1 instead of 0.
