Custom notification layouts and text colors
<p>My application shows some notifications, and depending on user preferences it might use a custom layout in a notification. It works well, but there is a small problem -- <strong>text colors</strong>. Stock Android and almost all manufacturer skins use black text against a light background for notification text, but Samsung doesn't: their notification pulldown has a dark background and the text in the default notification layout is white.</p>

<p>So this causes a problem: the notifications that don't use any fancy layouts show up fine, but the one that uses a custom layout is hard to read because the text is black instead of the default white. Even the <a href="http://d.android.com/guide/topics/ui/notifiers/notifications.html#CustomExpandedView" rel="nofollow">official documentation</a> just sets a <code>#000</code> color for a <code>TextView</code>, so I couldn't find any pointers there.</p>

<p>A user was kind enough to take a screenshot of the problem:</p>

<p>So <strong>how do I use the default notification text color from the device</strong> in my layouts? I'd rather not start dynamically altering the text color based on phone model, since that requires a lot of updating and people with custom ROM's might still get the problem, depending on the skin they're using.</p>
