    // Add as notification
    NotificationManager manager = (NotificationManager) context.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);

You can use the following code, it works for me

       RemoteViews myView = new RemoteViews(context.getPackageName(),
                R.layout.notifybaralert);

        myView.setTextViewText(R.id.tv_NotifyAlertTitle, msgTitle);
        myView.setTextViewText(R.id.tv_NotifyAlertMsg, msgBody);
        notify.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher); //to set icon that appers on the bar
        notify.setAutoCancel(true);
        notify.setContentIntent(pintent);
        notify.setContent(myView);
        notify.setContentTitle(msgTitle); //to set title that appears on the bar

Here myView is RemoteView type.

The xml for notifybaralert is as follows

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical" >

    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:orientation="horizontal"
        android:weightSum="3" >

        <ImageView
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:layout_weight=".5"
            android:adjustViewBounds="true"
            android:src="@drawable/ic_launcher" />

        <LinearLayout
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:layout_weight="2"
            android:orientation="vertical" >

            <TextView
                android:id="@+id/tv_NotifyAlertTitle"
                style="@style/NotificationTitle"
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:text="Babaji Shivram"
                android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge" />

            <TextView
                android:id="@+id/tv_NotifyAlertMsg"
                style="@style/NotificationText"
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:maxLines="8"
                android:text="TextView" />
        </LinearLayout>
    </LinearLayout>

</LinearLayout>

It gives the notification exactly like the image that you provided.

Hope this helps :)
