title: Xamarin, Android: Customize the standard notification
body: <p>We are using our server to send push notifications to each individual phone. But I'd like to customize the layout of the notification a little but I couldnt find out how. The notification looks like this:<a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/lVEBY.jpg" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/lVEBY.jpg" alt="enter image description here"></a></p>
  
  <p>So there is somewhat a custom layout already there, with this little bell. The title and the text come from the server and the "BOOK OF LIFE"  from the app. So there must be a way to override this, right? I was able to get to the notification's text like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>    protected override Android.App.Notification BuildNotification(Context context, PushMessage pushMessage)
      {
          // TODO customize the notification
          pushMessage.Text = "xy";
          return base.BuildNotification(context, pushMessage);
      }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But I just cannot find a way to change the layout. How would I override the bell and the general layout?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks :) </p>
