Android notification like Skype Application

Question

I'm writing an application for my Android phone. The application has a background service. I want to display that service in the notification area like Skype application does. If I use NotificationManager and Notification (the way android samples do), the result is different.

See this image

My notification is the one called "Service". The Skype service has an icon just above the notification area. Skype has also "normal notifications". These "normal notifications" appear below my notification.

I want my service to be above the notification area like Skype application is. Does anyone know how to do that?

Thanks in advance.

As a note for good UX, when using the Ongoing Event notifications always provide an option in the app to disable such notifications to avoid annoyance. — Ben Brocka, Jan 13 '12 at 21:24

Take a look at
