You also need to override http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View.html#onInitializeAccessibilityNodeInfo(android.view.accessibility.AccessibilityNodeInfo)

If you want to remove the 0%, I would try to change the class in AccessibilityNodeInfo/AccessibilityEvent: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/accessibility/AccessibilityNodeInfo.html#setClassName(java.lang.CharSequence)
