android notification - RemoteServiceException

Question

I am getting RemoteServiceException. This occurs if I simply call the following in onResume() of the activity :

 NotificationManager mNotificationManager = (NotificationManager) mContext.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);

        NotificationCompat.Builder notif = new NotificationCompat.Builder(mContext);
        notif.setTicker("Notification ticker")
             .setContentTitle("Vinceri")
             .setContentText("Ha recibido una oferta de trabajo")
             .setAutoCancel(true);
        //create notification from builder
        Notification notification = notif.build();
        mNotificationManager.notify(0, mBuilder.buildNotification(content));

It occurs only if notify is called.

android.app.RemoteServiceException: Bad notification posted from package com.java: Couldn't create icon: StatusBarIcon(pkg=com.java id=0x1 level=0 visible=true num=0 )

add this line in your code

notif.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.alarm);

make sure alarm icon should be on drawable folder
