I want to read/access/log the notifications fired on notification bar by other applications.

I searched Intents and PendingIntents a lot, but couldn't get a solution.

Does my application need to be notified when any notification is fired?

Or Does android system provide something to read notifications by the user-level applications?

Starting with api 18 (android 4.3) it's possible: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/service/notification/NotificationListenerService.html

Very easy to use, but the user have to give permission to the app manually.
