animationfile.xml :

  <animation-list
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:oneshot="false">
<item android:drawable="@drawable/icaon" android:duration="10000" />
<item android:drawable="@drawable/icon" android:duration="10000" />
</animation-list>

It didn't work without having a ticker set! It was shown but wasn't animated. It looks like it will only be animated if you also call setTicker(...). — Aron Lorincz, Jul 24 '14 at 11:08

To show the upload or download notification like the default one which we have in android (an up or down arrow moving up or down respectively like this like , till the upload or download is completed), simply use the below.

Set your notification builder to,

mBuilder.setSmallIcon(android.R.drawable.stat_sys_download);
mBuilder.setTicker(mContext.getString(R.string.notification_ticker)); //Pass an empty string if you dont want any text to appear on the status bar
//Call notify() method of notification manager to see the effect

And when you want the animated icon to stop after the upload or download is completed use below,

 mBuilder.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_download); //ic_download is similar looking icon in your drawable folder
 mNotifyManager.notify(0, mBuilder.build());

Hope this helps. :)
