You are right, but we are taliking now about non existing feature so thatcould also be addressed. The major problem is that notify() is quite
non-flexible recently and forces developers to create bunch of static
icons (which takes memory and bloats apk - I could drop my app size
by at least 100K if that would be possible) instead of allowing them to
draw someting and pass that object.
Oh good lord. My point is: you are relying on another app being around, when you have no guarantee that it will be. What if the app disappears while in the middle of posting the notification? What if it gets removed while you are in the middle of running?
Keeping apps fairly self-contained is a good thing.
