title: Android: Check Notifications
body: <p>I am new to android and am trying to play with what I think should be a simple true/false statement. 
   What I want to do ( and am not sure if it is even possible) is simply check to see if there are any notifications of any sort pending. So basically if that led on the top of the android device is flashing from a text message, Facebook post, voice mail or whatever I can return True to a Boolean. </p>
  
  <p>At this point I don't need to do anything with them. I just want to know if its possible (if so, how) to see if there anything waiting and not clear it.</p>
