Hello Kostya,
can you please elaborate this a little bit :
a) For me it seems, that the Notifications from a service
without the foreground stuff are not deleted when you kill the
service
( i.e. using Settings-Applications-Running Services )
b) what did you mean with 2.x -API ?
I use notify nd cancel normally.
Thanks a lot !
Frank
