I am basically just experimenting with Android development, and a couple of days ago I came across this app called "Go SMS Pro", which, among other things, can set up notifications in different colors (blue, green, orange, pink and light blue). So, I have tried to do this myself in my own app, however I cannot change neiher the color nor the blinking internal of the LED. I currently use this code:

public class MainActivity extends Activity {
  static final int NOTIFICATION_ID = 1;

  @Override
  public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.main);

    Button button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button);
    button.setOnClickListener(buttonOnClick);
  }

  public OnClickListener buttonOnClick = new OnClickListener() {

    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {
      String ns = Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE;
      NotificationManager mNotificationManager = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(ns);

      Notification notification = new Notification(R.drawable.icon, "Hello", System.currentTimeMillis());
      notification.flags = Notification.FLAG_SHOW_LIGHTS | Notification.FLAG_AUTO_CANCEL;
      notification.ledARGB = Color.BLUE;
      notification.ledOnMS = 1000;
      notification.ledOffMS = 300;

      Context context = getApplicationContext();
      CharSequence contentTitle = "My notification";
      CharSequence contentText = "Hello World!";
      Intent notificationIntent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, MainActivity.class);
      PendingIntent contentIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(MainActivity.this, 0, notificationIntent, 0);

      notification.setLatestEventInfo(context, contentTitle, contentText, contentIntent);

      mNotificationManager.notify(NOTIFICATION_ID, notification);
    }
  };
}


But as I said, it doesn't work the way I want it to; instead it just blinks in regular green with the default delay, and not the one I have set in my code.

Can anyone see what is wrong with my code, or know if I have to do something else to achieve this?


Question: Howto bin series of float values into histogram in Python?
Answer: The first error is:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\foo\foo.py", line 17, in &lt;module&gt;
    diffCounts[ str(getBin(diff)) ] += 1
TypeError: list indices must be integers


Why are you converting an int to a str when a str is needed?  Fix that, then we get:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\foo\foo.py", line 17, in &lt;module&gt;
    diffCounts[ getBin(diff) ] += 1
IndexError: list index out of range


because you've only made 5 buckets.  I don't understand your bucketing scheme, but let's make it 50 buckets and see what happens:

6
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\foo\foo.py", line 21, in &lt;module&gt;
    maxBin = max(maxdiff)
TypeError: 'int' object is not iterable


maxdiff is a single value out of your list of ints, so what is max doing here?  Remove it, now we get:

6
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\foo\foo.py", line 28, in &lt;module&gt;
    print binStr + '\t' + '\t'.join(map(str, (diffCounts[i])))
TypeError: argument 2 to map() must support iteration


Sure enough, you're using a single value as the second argument to map.  Let's simplify the last two lines from this:

 binStr = '[' + str(lo) + ',' + str(hi) + ')'
 print binStr + '\t' + '\t'.join(map(str, (diffCounts[i])))


to this:

 print "[%f, %f)\t%r" % (lo, hi, diffCounts[i])


Now it prints:

6
[0.000000, 1.000000)    3
[1.000000, 3.000000)    0
[3.000000, 7.000000)    2
[7.000000, 15.000000)   0
[15.000000, 31.000000)  0
[31.000000, 63.000000)  0
[63.000000, 127.000000) 3


I'm not sure what else to do here, since I don't really understand the bucketing you are hoping to use.  It seems to involve binary powers, but isn't making sense to me...
