I am sending a notification from the watch, and I want the notification to be clickable, i.e., it opens an activity when clicked. Here is what it comes out to look like

But, I do not want the play icon to show, just want the plain notification look. Even if I set an empty action icon, the icon space is still taken and I cannot fit text into that space. Is there a way to free up that icon space for text to show?

Code as follows:

```
NotificationCompat.Builder builder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this)
            .setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher)
            .setContentTitle("Tracking")
            .setContentText("Tap to open.")
            .setLargeIcon(BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.launchbg))
            .setLocalOnly(true)
            .addAction(R.drawable.empty_icon, "blah", pendingSaveIntent)                 
            .extend(new NotificationCompat.WearableExtender()
                    .setContentAction(0));

```
