Listening for Notification on Android

I have some queries when it comes to notification on android programming. I have read up on the notificationmanager, notification and notificationbuilder but it doesn't seem to allow it to listen for notifications.

What I am trying to do is when a notification is send by any application, I will be able to know the contents of it. Is that actually possible and how can it be done?

To Listen all incoming notifications in android you need to use NotificationListenerService and declare intent in manifest file. so that you can get the (android.permission.BIND_NOTIFICATION_LISTENER_SERVICE) Permission

See this post for better understanding and complete code.

With API level 18 release, there is now a NotificationListenerService. http://developer.android.com/reference/android/service/notification/NotificationListenerService.html

There is currently no generic way to intercept Notifications sent from other applications.
