Custom notification marquee text doesnt work android

Question

Hi im trying to make part of my text in the notification manager marquee but doesnt work i tried this:

  <TextView
    android:id="@+id/title_text"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:ellipsize="marquee"
    android:fadingEdge="horizontal"
    android:gravity="bottom"
    android:marqueeRepeatLimit="marquee_forever"
    android:scrollHorizontally="true"                                     
    android:focusable="true"
    android:focusableInTouchMode="true"              
    android:singleLine="true"
    android:textSize="15sp"
    android:textStyle="bold" >
  </TextView>

and in my .java i use remoteview:

Notification notification = new Notification(icon, tickerText, when);
RemoteViews contentView = new RemoteViews(getPackageName(), R.layout.notification);

contentView.setTextViewText(R.id.title_text, "This is a very long text which is not fitting in the screen so it needs to be marqueed");

i would like to have marquee for that title_text This is a very long text which is not fitting in the screen so it needs to be marqueed

but the marquee doesnt work just stays static what i can do?

thank you.

i changed my xml:

  <TextView
    android:id="@+id/title_text"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:ellipsize="marquee"
    android:fadingEdge="horizontal"
    android:gravity="bottom"
    android:marqueeRepeatLimit="marquee_forever"
    android:scrollHorizontally="false"                                     
    android:focusable="true"
    android:focusableInTouchMode="true"              
    android:singleLine="true"
    android:textSize="15sp"
    android:textStyle="bold" 
    android:textColor="#fff">
    <requestFocus/> 
  </TextView>

i added <requestFocus/> and now my marquee works perfect.
