Is it possible to make an icon on android that when clicked clears all notifications, e.g. SMS, email, missed calls etc? I just want an icon on my home screen that clears all notifications. What coding would I use?

Thanks but from what I understand, that only applies if your own app had created a notification, then that would work. – toiletduckie44 Aug 30 '12 at 12:40

cancel(notificationID) where you pass the notification id of the notification you have created
or else, you can clear all your notifications by cancelAll().
*NOTE : * Only notifications created by your application can be deleted. You cannot remove notifications created by some other application.

You can only remove a Notification that you raise yourself. You cannot remove a Notification raised by another application.
