Ticker text is optional, and may be null in some cases.

You haven't posted any code, but are you using the onNotificationPosted(StatusBarNotification) method from NotificationListenerService? That was implemented in API 18 (Android 4.3), so it should work for you. The documentation states that the full Notification object should be returned, which should give you more than just the ticker text.

Correct, ticker text is not a required field when building a notification. In fact, the only required notification contents are:

Unfortunately, the extras bundle is only available on Android 4.4 (KitKat) devices - previous versions do not have any easy access to this data - you only have access to the RemoteViews which you'd need to inflate and parse manually (definitely not recommended).
