Draw a number in status bar like WeatherBug for android

In case you're unfamiliar, WeatherBug has a temperature display in the status bar that will say something like "38". I'm new to android programming, but from what I can see, if you want to put something in the status bar, you have to have a drawable.

Now I know they could've made a 100+ branch if statement, but since that's unlikely, how can I achieve this?

Off the cuff...

Step #1: Create your individual temperature drawables.

Step #2: Create a LevelListDrawable that references those individual temperature drawables, for levels corresponding with the temperature.

Step #3: Use setSmallIcon(int, int) to point to your LevelListDrawable and the desired level.
