Android application icon changes with runtime

Question

In my app I want to display different icons for the application. Changes should be according to the scenario. For example, it will mark the number of days remaining for the task completion. On the android menu this icon will display the number of days remaining. If anyone has any idea for this, I would appreciate it. Thanks.

There are actually a number of ways to achieve this. If you notice Google's clock app these days, it does show the current time.

This can be done easily. Within your activity code, just write:

getActionBar().setIcon(R.drawable.new_icon);
