Display Notification Text in Status Bar - Android

Question

In my application I need to display notification to the user. The following code snippet worked great by display the icon and content title in the Android device title bar.

Answer 1

Below code worked for me. Just a few corrections in the second snippet.

Intent resultIntent = new Intent(this, TestService.class); 

    PendingIntent pi = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, resultIntent, 0);

    NotificationCompat.Builder builder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(getApplicationContext())
        .setContentIntent(pi) 
        .setAutoCancel(true) 
        .setContentTitle("title")
        .setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_notif) //add a 24x24 image to the drawable folder
                                           // and call it here 
        .setContentText("desc"); 

    NotificationManager nm = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
    nm.notify(0, builder.build());
