title: How can I dynamically change the Notification message when I aggregate multiple notifications in Android?
body: <p>I'm trying to perform this simple task dealing with push notifications in Android (C2DM):</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>if no notification exists in the notification bar, set it to "foo A"</li>
  <li>if a notification already exists, grab it, read its text, and then update it to something like "N notifications: foo, bar, ...". This is similar to what the gmail client would do on Android when you get 1 email vs multiple ones</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>I have looked through the docs, read <a href="http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/notifiers/notifications.html#Updating" rel="nofollow">http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/notifiers/notifications.html#Updating</a>, searched SO and the web, but so far, I don't see a way to get access to the notification currently in the notification bar.</p>
  
  <p>Do I need to manage the count elsewhere and have it reset when the user dismisses the notification? Is there no way to read the existing one?</p>
  
  <p>Thank you.</p>
