Progress bar in notification bar when uploading image?
You can design a custom notification, instead of just the default notification view of header and sub-header.
What you want is here
In Android, in order to display a progress bar in a Notification, you just need to initialize setProgress(...) into the Notification.Builder.
Note that, in your case, you would probably want to use even the setOngoing(true) flag.
Integer notificationID = 100;
NotificationManager notificationManager = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
//Set notification information:
Notification.Builder notificationBuilder = new Notification.Builder(getApplicationContext());
notificationBuilder.setOngoing(true)
.setContentTitle("Notification Content Title")
.setContentText("Notification Content Text")
.setProgress(100, 0, false);
//Send the notification:
Notification notification = notificationBuilder.build();
notificationManager.notify(notificationID, notification);
Then, your Service will have to notify the progress. Assuming that you store your (percentage) progress into an Integer called progress (e.g. progress = 10):
//Update notification information:
notificationBuilder.setProgress(100, progress, false);
//Send the notification:
notification = notificationBuilder.build();
notificationManager.notify(notificationID, notification);
