How can I update the notifica

Answer 1

here's the code to do so in your service. Create a new notification, but ask notification manager to notify the same notification id you used in startForeground.

Notification notify = createNotification();
final NotificationManager notificationManager = (NotificationManager) getApplicationContext()
    .getSystemService(getApplicationContext().NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);

notificationManager.notify(ONGOING_NOTIFICATION, notify);
