I am uncertain as to what "the icon" is. I can think of four possibilities: -- the icon in the launcher -- a shortcut icon the user put on their home screen -- a Notification icon in the status bar -- an app widget None of those can be animated in the form you describe. The icons are all resources, so at most you can try an AnimationDrawable resource, but I suspect most of those won't support the actual animating. An app widget does not support any of the standard animations, and attempting to fake it by extremely frequent updates will drain your battery quickly. You might give live wallpapers a try, though. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy _Android Programming Tutorials_ Version 2.0 Available! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
