This worked for me, whereby an ongoing activity (not SERVICE) notification is updated 'silently'.

NotificationManager notifManager; // notifManager IS GLOBAL
note = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this)
    .setContentTitle(YOUR_TITLE)
    .setSmallIcon(R.drawable.yourImageHere);

note.setOnlyAlertOnce(true);
note.setOngoing(true);
note.setWhen( System.currentTimeMillis() );

note.setContentText(YOUR_MESSAGE);

Notification notification = note.build();
notifManager.notify(THE_ID_TO_UPDATE, notification );
