my problem seems be without (smart) solution... please help

I'm working on app that update a persistent notification with temp and weather description.

The problem is that I want show current temp in notification bar but 

mNotification = new Notification.Builder(ctx)
    .setTicker(number);

this code show but with auto-hide, the only value data still persist in bar it's smallIcon.

The problem is that setSmallIcon() want a resource (int) to work, this is carzy, there are other options?

I don't want put inside app 100 or more little images with number, it's no sense...

Thank you

No it is not possible according to the current android notification design principle. You are only allowed to add text in the notification area/status bar.

  • Ok, I think that there aren't any option to fix text in title bar? (by default text desapear after few ms) – Ivan Jan 09 '15 at 20:54
  • Ok, I know, by .setOngoing(true) but I can make permanent ticker too? – Ivan Jan 10 '15 at 15:55
  • This is useless, I did read it, the point isn't make permanent notification (that I did) but show info in title bar (in this case temp). I make some icon to test with a switch based on number but are too small – Ivan Jan 10 '15 at 17:44
