Question

Is there any new api to show notification properly on honeycomb?

I run my android app using ginger bread notification on honeycomb, my notification has progress bar, and whenever I update it, the notification bar blinks.

Is there anything to avoid this side effect?

Thank you.

I’m not sure if your issue is the same I was experiencing, but I found I needed to make sure I was using the FLAG_ONLY_ALERT_ONCE flag with my notification or else the notification would keep displaying as if it were a new one every time I updated it.

notification.flags = Notification.FLAG_ONGOING_EVENT | Notification.FLAG_ONLY_ALERT_ONCE;

Even without this flag, it worked properly prior to Honeycomb. Honeycomb obviously utilizes this flag differently than prior releases.
