NotificationCompat.Builder doesn't work, Android 2.2.1

Question

I have next code:

NotificationCompat.Builder mBuilder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(
        this).setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher)
        .setContentTitle("My notification")
        .setContentText("Hello World!");

Why it doesn't work? It shows nothing. Testing on Android 2.2.1.

Update. Code of activity:

import android.app.Activity;
import android.app.AlertDialog;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v4.app.NotificationCompat;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.View;

public class LoginActivity extends Activity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_login);
    }

    public void start(View view) {
        NotificationCompat.Builder mBuilder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(
                this).setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher)
                .setContentTitle("My notification")
                .setContentText("Hello World!");
    }
}

Button in layout:

<Button
    android:id="@+id/startButton"
    android:layout_width="100dp"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_above="@+id/aboutButton"
    android:layout_alignLeft="@+id/aboutButton"
    android:layout_marginBottom="20dp"
    android:onClick="start"
    android:text="Start" />

UPDATE2. Error log:

Answer 1

It works:

Intent resultIntent = new Intent(this, LoginActivity.class);
PendingIntent resultPendingIntent =
    PendingIntent.getActivity(
    this,
    0,
    resultIntent,
    PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT
);

NotificationCompat.Builder mBuilder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(
        getApplicationContext()).setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher)
        .setContentTitle("My notification")
        .setContentText("Hello World!")
        .setContentIntent(resultPendingIntent);

NotificationManager manager = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
manager.notify(FM_NOTIFICATION_ID, mBuilder.build());
