A simple method to create an android notification

AndroidNotification.java

  private void fireNotification(int score) {
  	NotificationCompat.Builder mBuilder =
		        new NotificationCompat.Builder(this)
		        .setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher)
		        .setContentTitle("Hit!")
		        .setContentText("High Score!")
		        .setNumber(score)
		        .setAutoCancel(true);
		
		// Creates an explicit intent for an Activity in your app
		Intent resultIntent = new Intent(this, LLRActivity.class);

		// The stack builder object will contain an artificial back stack for the
		// started Activity.
		// This ensures that navigating backward from the Activity leads out of
		// your application to the Home screen.
		TaskStackBuilder stackBuilder = TaskStackBuilder.create(this);
		// Adds the back stack for the Intent (but not the Intent itself)
		stackBuilder.addParentStack(MyActivity.class);
		// Adds the Intent that starts the Activity to the top of the stack
		stackBuilder.addNextIntent(resultIntent);
		PendingIntent resultPendingIntent =
		        stackBuilder.getPendingIntent(
		            0,
		            PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT
		        );
		mBuilder.setContentIntent(resultPendingIntent);
		NotificationManager mNotificationManager =
		    (NotificationManager) getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
		
		// mId allows you to update the notification later on.
		int mId = 1;
		
		mNotificationManager.notify(mId, mBuilder.build());
