Reading notification without NotificationListenerService in android

I'm currently working on app that read certain notifications and then silencing some of them. I've managed doing this using NotificationListenerService on Android 4.3+ but I would like to make it compatible for previous versions too. So is there anyway to listening to incoming notifications and getting its content?

I heard about AccesibilityService but I don't quite understand if it is possible to use it to read notifications' content and how. Any suggestions?

Thanks from adavnce!

It's possible with the accessibility service (event 64) You can get at the notification object from this and then parse it.

There's a sample class of parsing the notification here: http://notifications-widget.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/NotificationsWidget/src/com/roymam/android/notificationswidget/NotificationParser.java
