How to add a notification with button?

I am a begginer, In my app I have a notification for image upload progress, I want to add a button with that notification, and I want to cancel the upload service when user clicks on the button. I have used the below code, I have created an xml layout for a button,

  mBuilder = new android.support.v4.app.NotificationCompat.Builder(ImageUploadActivity.this);
         mBuilder.setContentTitle("Cookbook Upload")
            .setContentText("Upload in Progress")
            .setTicker("Cookbook Upload")
            .setWhen(System.currentTimeMillis())
            .setAutoCancel(true)
            .setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher)
            .build();
    RemoteViews contentView=new RemoteViews(ctx.getPackageName(), R.layout.activity_upload);

But when I run the app ,it throws a null pointer exception on this line

 RemoteViews contentView=new RemoteViews(ctx.getPackageName(),     R.layout.activity_upload);

I don't understand how it happens,can anybody help?

then ctx is not initialized, and you don't need it, since, ImageUploadActivity.this is already a context
