I have some queries when it comes to notification on android programming. I have read up on the notificationmanager, notification and notificationbuilder but it doesn't seem to allow it to listen for notifications.
What I am trying to do is when a notification is send by any application, I will be able to know the contents of it. Is that actually possible and how can it be done?
With API level 18 release, there is now a NotificationListenerService. http://developer.android.com/reference/android/service/notification/NotificationListenerService.html
There is currently no generic way to intercept Notifications sent from other applications.
