I do this:

SharedPreferences sp = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(this);
boolean used = sp.getBoolean("notif_used", false);

if ( used )
 return;
else {
 /* show the notification */
 Editor editor = getSharedPreferences().edit();
 editor.putBoolean("notif_used", true);
 editor.commit();
}
