Android notification icon template?

Do you have a tutorial on how to create a nice icon to insert a status bar as a notification in an Android app? Ideally, I am looking for a template or icon that I can easily change. I am not a designer. I need emoticons, icons in the status bar.

You can upload icons on the buzzbox sdk resources page:

there is also a photoshop file that you can download and modify.

Android’s official template pack has another simple status bar template icon

Check out Android Asset Studio ! This is a great tool for creating multiple Android icons, including notification icons.

Notification notification = new Notification(R.drawable.asterisk_sign, text, System.currentTimeMillis());
PendingIntent contentIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, new Intent(this, MainActivity.class), 0); //this is how we will launch an Activity when the user clicks the notification
notification.setLatestEventInfo(this, getText(R.string.app_name), text, contentIntent);
mNM.notify(R.string.minutemaid_service_started, notification);  //send the notification to the system, to be displayed in the notification bar

This is an example of how to make a notification in the notification panel that triggers an action when it is selected.
