Answer 1

You can use RemoteViews for this

RemoteViews contentView = new RemoteViews(getPackageName(), R.layout.YOUR_CUSTOM_LAYOUT);
contentView.setImageViewResource(R.id.YOUR_IMAGEVIEW_ID, YOUR_ICON);
contentView.setTextViewText(R.id.YOUR_TEXT_VIEW_ID, YOUR_NOTIFICAITON_TEXT);

You can add more parameters and customize it more, you have to read the RemoveViews documentation.

Then you create a NotificationCompat.Builder and add contentView as a content from NotificationCompat.Builder something like this :

NotificationCompat.Builder mBuilder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(YOUR_CONTEXT)
.setContent(contentView);

Then create the Notification

Notification mNotification = mBuilder.build();
mNotificationManager.notify(1, mNotification);

Those are the simple steps, now you can adjust it to your liking.
