Notification notifyDetails = new Notification(R.drawable.alarm,intent.getExtras().getString(KEY_TITLE),System.currentTimeMillis());
notifyDetails.number = 1; ////// here you can pass the counter value which will so you the number

just a clarification as it took me a bit to find how to get it right. You need to change this, and then call back NotificationManager.notify with the same ID as the previous notification. – Floor

Are you looking for Notification#number?

I meant the public member named number in the Notification class, to which I also linked. – Encomiast

Answer 3

NotificationManager notificationManager =(NotificationManager)context.getSystemService(NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
notification.setNumber(1);

While this may be the answer it is better to include how and why the code helps to solve the problem stated in the question. – Worldling

Answer 4

NotificationManager notificationManager=(NotificationManager)context.getSystemService(NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);

This creates the notificationManager class instance. Then you will have notification object with which you can do any adjustment. To set the number of the messages you have received, simply set this:

notification.setNumber(1);
