Notification content styles

The default theme for apps on API level 10 and lower. This is the theme used for activities that have not explicitly set their own theme.

You can count on this being a dark background with light text on top, but should try to make no other assumptions about its appearance. In particular, the text inside of widgets using this theme may be completely different, with the widget container being a light color and the text on top of it a dark color.

If you're developing for API level 11 and higher, you should instead use Theme_Holo or Theme_DeviceDefault.

The DeviceDefault themes are aliases for a specific device’s native look and feel. The DeviceDefault theme family and widget style family offer ways for you to target your app to a device’s native theme with all device customizations intact.

For example, when you set your app's targetSdkVersion to XX or higher, this theme is applied to your application by default. As such, your app might appear with the Material styles on one device, but with a different set of styles on another device. This is great if you want your app to fit with the device's native look and feel. If, however, you prefer to keep your UI style the same across all devices, you should apply a specific theme such as Material or one of your own design. For more information, read Material Everywhere.

Styles used by the DeviceDefault theme are named using the convention Type.DeviceDefault.Etc (for example, Widget.DeviceDefault.Button and TextAppearance.DeviceDefault.Widget.PopupMenu.Large).
