You have no choice but to set an image. You are welcome to have the image contain text.

In the screenshot you cited, the app probably has ~100 images to choose from for different percentage levels. You can organize those into a single LevelListDrawable, then use the two-parameter version of setSmallIcon() to indicate which level you want.

Thanks for your quick response but i have always different text so how can i manage?
@Harshid: That is not possible. setSmallIcon() requires a resource, and you cannot create a resource at runtime.
