Nathan,

Have you considered doing away with detailed progress info in the notification pulldown?

The pulldown (Notification) could just indicate that there are downloads in progress, perhaps their total number.

Then upon the user clicking on the notification item, you could display an activity with detailed information, which would be updated in real time.

This is inspired by what Android Market does, perhaps it's a viable option for your app as well?

Is there any way to detect whether the Notification Windows is being
shown?

I have a service that updates an ongoing notification, complete with a
progress bar and text? Is there a way to know if the notifiication
screen is actually being shown, so I can adjust how often

I wouldn't be so concerned if not for the fact that the HTC Incredible
will reboot after it receives several hundred or so updates.  Based on
a controlled experiment with a beta tester, the service could continue
for 24 hours if it did not update progress, but dies after several
hundred updates.

So I am desperate to reduce the notifications, if that's what works,
and one of the ways I could do that is by not updating as much or at
all if that screen isn't being shown.
