You can also use PackageManager. I don't know if that's a "better
practice" or not.

You can't, AFAIK. Things that take a Context and a resource ID might
be able to use your package context to get the resource from other
packages. Methods like the Notification constructor that do not take a
Context will get the resource from your own package.
