android programming question

i'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this, so please direct me to the correct place if this is wrong.

I have an app that is constantly updated a notification in the status bar (changing the icon and updated text in the expanded view). The problem I am having is that when it updates the notification it will close the window I am in for certain actions. For example, if I am looking through my apps when it updates it will close that and take me to the home screen, if I am searching for something in the market it will close the search history, etc. Is there a way to have it update the icon and text in the background and not effect any currently running activity?

here is my notification code:

public void displayNotification(String msg)
  {
    RemoteViews contentView = new RemoteViews(getPackageName(), R.layout.custom_notification_layout);

    settings = context.getSharedPreferences(PREFS_NAME, 0);
    statColor = settings.getInt("txtColor", Color.BLACK);
     contentView.setTextColor(R.id.text, statColor);
     contentView.setTextColor(R.id.text2, statColor);
     contentView.setTextColor(R.id.text3, statColor);

      contentView.setTextViewText(R.id.text, "some text");
      contentView.setTextViewText(R.id.text2, "some more text");
      contentView.setTextViewText(R.id.text3, "some more text");

      contentView.setImageViewResource(R.id.image, icon[iconIndex]);
      Notification notification = new Notification(icon[iconIndex], msg, System.currentTimeMillis());
      notification.contentView = contentView;
      Intent notificationIntent = new Intent(this, AppService.class);
      PendingIntent contentIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 1, notificationIntent, 0);
      notification.contentIntent = contentIntent;

      manager = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
      notification.flags |= Notification.FLAG_NO_CLEAR;
      notification.flags |= Notification.FLAG_ONGOING_EVENT;
      manager.notify(NOTIFICATION_ID, notification);


  }
