How do I combine all my notifications into one expandable one in API 14+?

My app might have multiple notifications for different events and instead of showing 4 notifications, I want to combine them like GMail does. How do I do this? Is this possible in API 14 or was this added in JellyBean?

The large notification you're thinking of (specifically InboxStyle) was added in Jelly Bean, but there's nothing stopping you from aggregating multiple pieces of information in a single notification on earlier versions of Android (you just won't be able to fit as much in). Use NotificationCompat to create a Notification that has a nice bigContentView for JB+ devices and a more concise summary version on older devices.
