Get current notifications android

Question

I'm developing for the Android, and I want to be able to get an array of the current notifications. For example, say I have two texts and 3 facebook notifications, I want to be able to get a list of what they are, or at least get the type of them. Is there any possible way to do this with the android api?

Have you solved this problem yet? – lynn8570 Oct 23 '13 at 08:10 — lynn8570, Oct 23 '13 at 08:10

This is possible with android 4.3 upwards now

See http://developer.android.com/reference/android/service/notification/NotificationListenerService.html#getActiveNotifications()

This is not possible due to security issues. Its like stealing/intercepting other app's info which is not allowed in framework.

Ok, that stinks, could I at least get a boolean of whether there are any notifications or not? – Jay Mar 27 '12 at 21:34
