Answer 1

Are you sending a new notification each time, or updating an existing one? Can you post the code?

In the meantime, you can generally answer questions like "Can I pin my notification to a static position, or to the top of the list" by thinking "Wait, what would happen if two or more programs both tried to pin their notification to be first?" and realising that the arms-race that would ensue amongst programs as they try ever harder to make sure their notification is first is why this sort of feature is not supported.

You don't need the Notification.FLAG_NO_CLEAR flag.
