Hey Kevin, Thanks for the response. The icon I'm trying to update would be a placeholder image that I would store in the resources of my application. I was hoping I would be able to change this within my program based on certain conditions and have the status bar reflect the changes when the icon gets updated. (i.e. Say you wanted to keep an icon of the current temperature in the titlebar and be able to change that icon in your resources with new text as the temperature changes.) I know you can customize the view for the window shade but I'd like to be able to change the actual icon that displays in the status bar. Notifications only take a drawable resource so I wouldn't be able to use setImageResource(int resource id) to change that. Would this be possible at all?
