title: How do I update the notification text for a foreground service in Android?
body: <p>I have a foreground service setup in Android.  I would like to update the notification text.  I am creating the service as shown below.</p>
  
  <p>How can I update the notification text that is setup within this foreground service?  What is the best practise for updating the notification?  Any sample code would be appreciated.</p>
  
  <pre><code>public class NotificationService extends Service {
  
      private static final int ONGOING_NOTIFICATION = 1;
  
      private Notification notification;
  
      @Override
      public void onCreate() {
          super.onCreate();
  
          this.notification = new Notification(R.drawable.statusbar, getText(R.string.app_name), System.currentTimeMillis());
          Intent notificationIntent = new Intent(this, AbList.class);
          PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, notificationIntent, 0);
          this.notification.setLatestEventInfo(this, getText(R.string.app_name), "Update This Text", pendingIntent);
  
          startForeground(ONGOING_NOTIFICATION, this.notification);
  
      }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I am creating the service in my main activity as shown below:</p>
  
  <pre><code>    // Start Notification Service
      Intent serviceIntent = new Intent(this, NotificationService.class);
      startService(serviceIntent);
  </code></pre>
