Using NotificationCompat for Beautiful Notifications (Android Development Patterns Ep 2)

NotificationCompat gives you a single API for building notifications for your Android app, including support for Android Wear and Android Auto extensions.

We go through the required parts of a notification, go through improvements such as color and a large icon, then enhance a notification with expanded notification styles, actions, WearableExtender for Android Wear specific improvements, and CarExtender for Android Auto specific improvements.
