Android Question Notify in Notification Area but not Notification Drawer?

[GuyBooth]

When I notify the user, there are times when I want to place a logo in the Notification area (the line at the very top of the screen) but I don't want to put anything in the Notification Drawer that pulls down below it.

This code works fine for when I want to put a notification in the Drawer:

    nNotify.Initialize
    nNotify.Icon = "icon"
    nNotify.Sound=False
    nNotify.Light=False
    nNotify.OnGoingEvent=True
    nNotify.SetInfo(Header, Message, "")
    nNotify.Notify(1)

but I have been unable to find a way to only put an Icon in the Notification area. Filling the SetInfo with empty strings still puts the logo in the drawer; setting the OnGoingEvent to False doesn't seem to change anything at all.
Is there a way to put nothing at all in the Notification Drawer and still put a logo at the top of the screen?

It is not possible.

Is it possible, as an alternative then, to put an Icon on the action bar/notification area to indicate that a service is running?

to put an Icon on the action bar/notification area to indicate that a service is running

Setup your Service to be a Sticky service (do not use the starter service for this. Use any other service)

You are probably looking for a foreground service (Service.StartForeground).

That makes sense - I may need to run a service that does nothing at all just to get the "indicator". The service that currently provides the Notify runs every 10 minutes and only runs for milliseconds.
