Helper class for generating large-format notifications that include a list of (up to 5) strings. If the platform does not provide large-format notifications, this method has no effect. The user will always see the normal notification view. This class is a "rebuilder": It attaches to a Builder object and modifies its behavior, like so:

```
Notification notification = new NotificationCompat.Builder()
    .setContentTitle("5 New mails from " + sender.toString())
    .setContentText(subject)
    .setSmallIcon(R.drawable.new_mail)
    .setLargeIcon(aBitmap)
    .setStyle(new NotificationCompat.InboxStyle()
        .addLine(str1)
        .addLine(str2)
        .setContentTitle("")
        .setSummaryText("+3 more"))
    .build();
```
