Android how to show notification on screen


I've been working on push notifications and I am able to implement it and display it on status bar, the problem I am facing is that I want to display it even if the phone is lock, Under the lock screen where it says ("drag to unlock"), I have seen notifications like that but cant find any example to that.



Example: Just like when you received a missed call , it will show it under the lock button on your screen.



Code:




String ns = Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE;
NotificationManager mNotificationManager = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(ns);
int icon = R.drawable.icon_launcher;
CharSequence tickerText = "MyApplication";
long when = System.currentTimeMillis();
Notification notification = new Notification(icon, tickerText, when);
notification.defaults |= Notification.DEFAULT_SOUND|Notification.DEFAULT_VIBRATE|Notification.DEFAULT_LIGHTS;;
CharSequence contentTitle = this.title;
CharSequence contentText = this.message;
Intent notificationIntent = new Intent(this, MainActivity.class);
PendingIntent contentIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, notificationIntent, 0);
notification.setLatestEventInfo(context, contentTitle, contentText, contentIntent);
mNotificationManager.notify(NOTICE_ID, notification);

  1. I can't give you a sample or a snippet just a hint to everyone who is wondering how this is possible. Indeed the SDK does not support it. However you access many low level api through the NDK (http://developer.android.com/sdk/ndk/index.html)

Slow Android emulator

I have a 2.67 GHz Celeron processor, 1.21 GB of RAM on a x86 Windows XP Professional machine. My understanding is that the Android emulator should start fairly quickly on such a machine, but for me it does not. I have followed all instructions in setting up the IDE, SDKs, JDKs and such and have had some success in staring the emulator quickly but is very particulary. How can I, if possible, fix this problem?
