I have this exception:

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: android.app.Notification$Builder.setProgress at android.support.v4.app.NotificationCompatIceCreamSandwich.a

            // set intent so it does not start a new activity
            notificationIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP);
            PendingIntent intent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0, notificationIntent, 0);        
            Uri defaultSound = RingtoneManager.getDefaultUri(RingtoneManager.TYPE_NOTIFICATION);            

             Notification notification = new NotificationCompat.Builder(context)
             .setContentTitle(title)
             .setContentText(message)
             .setContentIntent(intent)
             .setSmallIcon(icon)
             .setLights(Color.YELLOW, 1, 2)
             .setAutoCancel(true)
             .setSound(defaultSound)
             .build();

            notificationManager.notify(0, notification);
    }     
}

and the crash happens on this line:

generateNotification(ctxt, extras.getString("message"), "New Message");

Should I just wrap that line in something like this:

if ( android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 8 )
{

}

In my manifest I allow all sdk versions like this:

There is a support library bug filed for this, see here. A fixed v4 support library can be downloaded from this link in comment #2.
