Notification Error "The method setProgress(int, int, boolean) is undefined for the type NotificationCompat.Builder"

Question

Does anyone know how to show a progress bar update in notification bar while downloading a file?

    Context context = MyClass.this.getApplicationContext();
    NotificationManager notificationManager = (NotificationManager) 
                                context.getSystemService(NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
    Notification updateComplete = new Notification();
    updateComplete.icon         = R.drawable.ic_launcher;
    updateComplete.tickerText   = "Starting to download...";
    updateComplete.when         = System.currentTimeMillis();
    Intent notificationIntent   = new Intent(context, MyClass.class);
    PendingIntent contentIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0,
                                                        notificationIntent, 0);
    String contentTitle         = "Download"; 
    updateComplete.setLatestEventInfo
                      (context, contentTitle, "downloading...", contentIntent);
    notificationManager.notify("yyy",1, updateComplete);

I reverted the [suggested edit](http://stackoverflow.com/review/suggested-edits/1999128#./1999128) because it was invalid. Folks, if you suggest edits, why do you change strings? This makes no sense. And changing personal formatting preferences is really also a waste of time. — class stacker, Apr 26 '13 at 09:04
