Default XML for Status Notification

Question

I am looking to use a custom XML for a status bar notification.

To use as a starting point, is there anywhere to find the default notification's xml code?

Thankyou.

Try that one :-)

<!-- Nobody should be using this file directly. If you do, you will get a
     purple background. Have fun with that. -->
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/status_bar_latest_event_content"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:background="#FFFF00FF"

    <include layout="@layout/notification_template_material_base"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        />
</FrameLayout>

See Creating a Custom Expanded View in the Android developers site.

I quote:

Create the XML layout for the expanded view. For example, create a layout file called custom_notification_layout.xml and build it like so:

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
              android:orientation="horizontal"
              android:layout_width="fill_parent"
              android:layout_height="fill_parent"
              android:padding="3dp"
              >
    <ImageView android:id="@+id/image"
              android:layout_width="wrap_content"
              android:layout_height="fill_parent"
              android:layout_marginRight="10dp"
              />
    <TextView android:id="@+id/text"
              android:layout_width="wrap_content"
              android:layout_height="fill_parent"
              android:textColor="#000"
              /> </LinearLayout>

This layout is used for the expanded view, but the content of the ImageView and TextView still needs to be defined by the application. RemoteViews offers some convenient methods that allow you to define this content...
