OK I get what you are saying about the intent having to appear unique. What I'm not clear on is how to do this. The app displays potentially several notifications concurrently but how do I make each 'different' since they are basically different instances of the same type of notification. The template is the same, the difference is just the specific site / level data they are reporting a change for. The Notification object docs don't lead me to think 'ah ha' :-)
