Vertical line in XML for notification in Android

I have created a custom notification XML file. I would like to draw a vertical line like the horizontal line in the below picture. I have been trying various ways couldn't achieve it. The orientation in xml from horizontal to vertical didn't help me.

Check my screenshot below:I would like to get the vertical line instead of the red line.

enter image description here

Tried the following code:

    <LinearLayout
        android:id="@+id/horizontalLayout"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="2dip"
        android:background="#000000"
        android:orientation="vertical" >
    </LinearLayout>

Below is my XML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#151515"
android:baselineAligned="false"
android:orientation="horizontal" >

<LinearLayout
    android:id="@+id/iconimagelayout"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:gravity="center"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:paddingLeft="5dp" >

    <ImageView
        android:id="@+id/iconimage"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:contentDescription="@string/icon"
        android:src="@drawable/cancel" />
</LinearLayout>

<LinearLayout
    android:id="@+id/NameLayout"
    android:layout_width="0dp"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:layout_weight=".70"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:paddingLeft="10sp" >

    <LinearLayout
        android:id="@+id/topTextlayout"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:background="#2E2E2E"
        android:gravity="center_horizontal"
        android:paddingBottom="5dp" >

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/topText"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:paddingTop="5dp"
            android:text="TITLE"
            android:textColor="#FFFFFF"
            android:textSize="18sp" />
    </LinearLayout>

    <LinearLayout
        android:id="@+id/horizontalLayout"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="2dip"
        android:background="#000000"
        android:orientation="horizontal" >
    </LinearLayout>

    <LinearLayout
        android:id="@+id/textLayout"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:background="#1C1C1C"
        android:paddingTop="5dp" >

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/text"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:paddingBottom="10dp"
            android:paddingLeft="5dp"
            android:text="MESSAGE BODY"
            android:textColor="#FFFFFF"
            android:textSize="18sp" />
    </LinearLayout>

    <LinearLayout
        android:id="@+id/horizontalLayout2"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="2dip"
        android:background="#000000"
        android:orientation="horizontal" >
    </LinearLayout>

    <LinearLayout
        android:id="@+id/alldismisslayout"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:background="#2E2E2E" >

        <ImageView
            android:id="@+id/dismissicon"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:contentDescription="@string/dismissicon"
            android:src="@drawable/cancel" />

        <LinearLayout
            android:id="@+id/dismissLayout"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:gravity="center|left" >

            <TextView
                android:id="@+id/dismissText"
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:paddingLeft="5dp"
                android:text="@string/notificationdismiss"
                android:textColor="#FFFFFF"
                android:textSize="18sp" />
        </LinearLayout>
    </LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>

</LinearLayout>

Not sure where exactly I have to put the vertical line code.

Just use proper backgrounds and margin if you need

Here is the screenshot

XML

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

Try This:

Create one colored vertical line 9 patch image

then use that image in View in android xml file

Change your XML file like:

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#151515"
android:baselineAligned="false"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<LinearLayout
    android:id="@+id/iconimagelayout"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:gravity="center"
    android:orientation="horizontal"
    android:layout_marginRight="10dp"
    android:paddingLeft="5dp" >
    <ImageView
        android:id="@+id/iconimage"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:contentDescription="icon"

        android:src="@drawable/ic_launcher" />

       <View
           android:layout_width="1dp"
           android:layout_height="fill_parent"
            android:background="@drawable/untitled" />
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
    android:id="@+id/NameLayout"
    android:layout_width="0dp"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:layout_weight=".70"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:paddingLeft="10sp" >

           android:layout_width="1dp"
           android:layout_height="fill_parent"
            android:background="@drawable/untitled" />

You can use following to create the vertical line. 

<View
    android:layout_width="4dip"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:background="#FF000000"/>

Put this code after your first cancel imageview.So that your final code becomes

<LinearLayout
    android:id="@+id/iconimagelayout"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:gravity="center"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:paddingLeft="5dp" >

    <ImageView
        android:id="@+id/iconimage"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:contentDescription="@string/icon"
        android:src="@drawable/cancel" />
</LinearLayout>

<View
    android:layout_width="4dip"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:background="#FF000000"/>

<LinearLayout
    android:id="@+id/NameLayout"
    android:layout_width="0dp"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:layout_weight=".70"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:paddingLeft="10sp" >

    <LinearLayout
        android:id="@+id/topTextlayout"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:background="#2E2E2E"
        android:gravity="center_horizontal"
        android:paddingBottom="5dp" >

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/topText"
