Android multiline notifications / notifications with longer text

Viewed 58951

I need to create a Notification with a longer text, is that possible? By default it is not, but you can use a custom layout, which is what I did. Now I can display multiple lines, but as you can see, the text is still broken / not displayed completely? ): Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong / if there's a fixed limit for the size of notifications? If you look at the screenshot you will notice, that there is still a lot of space left... Thanks for any hint!

BTW here's the XML used for the custom layout, based on http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/notifiers/notifications.html#CustomNotification

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
          android:orientation="horizontal"
          android:layout_width="fill_parent"
          android:layout_height="fill_parent"
          android:padding="3dp"
          >
<ImageView android:id="@+id/image"
          android:layout_width="wrap_content"
          android:layout_height="fill_parent"
          android:layout_marginRight="10dp"
          />
<TextView android:id="@+id/text"
          android:layout_width="wrap_content"
          android:layout_height="fill_parent"
          android:textColor="#000"
          />
</LinearLayout>
