Adding text to a notification icon

Question

I want to make a notification icon with text over it, to show for example the percent battery remaining. Is there a way to do that that doesn't involve 100+ separate icons?

I've looked all over but couldn't find a way.

Thanks

Answer 1

100+ separate icons unfortunately. Because of security reasons android only accepts resource IDs that also must not be custom resource type.

Would be happy to know if I'm wrong though.
