Android Notification Bar icon, is there a way to lock the location of the icon?

Question

I currently have a service driven notification appearing. I am trying to figure out if there is a way to lock the location at which the icon appears. I want to ensure that the icon is always in the same location on the Notification bar, no matter how many notifications appear before or after it. Ideally, I would like to lock it on the right side of the clock and Wifi icons. I am in Ice Cream Sandwich. Does anyone know if this is possible? Thanks all.

Answer 1

First, you cannot control the position of your Notification in the status or system bar, sorry.

Second, at least on phones, your Notification will be on the left, away from "the clock and Wifi icons".

Answer 2

Use the Notification.when propperty. You can locate it the first or the last using really high values (long.Max) or really small ones (-long.Max). But we are allways talking about the left group.
