How to update Notification with RemoteViews?

Here’s a detail example for you to update the notification using RemoteViews: Layout for the Notification, i.e. res/layout/custom_notification_small.xml: Hope this example helps you a lot! NOTE: You can’t update the custom NotificationCompat on pre-Honeycomb, so I added an alternative way to update it on pre-Honeycomb, i.e. checking the API level first and use the deprecated Notification instead.
