add info to top of phone / device

[dualznz]

Hi all
Loving the new version of b4a

I have a quick question i could not find it using the helper application
i am running a service for my application and there is a icon that shows on the top of the phone but what i would like to know is there anyway i can add information that will appear next to the icon once i have send the mediaplay sound via the service.

the widget updates the information when its recieved from the service but i would like to also display a message like "new jobs have been successfully added" next to the service icon.

cheers

any updates on this, if its not possible without cloud then i wont worry about it.
is it by any chance part of Notification?

The small icon you seen is a regular notification object. You can add text to it and update it as needed.

This. You can read about notifications here.

thanks for the reply, i looked into that and the .SetInfo adds the information when you hold the top of the phone and pull down to show running tasks.

i could not find anything else in the notification.INTELLISENCE to add text to the icon

any thoughts

Notifications only show an icon in the bar. There isn't enough room to show text.
