Description

I'd like to position an Android Toast (Ti.UI.Notification on the top half of the screen. I thought this wasn't possible, but then found that the first [gravity](http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/notifiers/toasts.html#Positioning) argument for setGravity that I needed is actually [exposed](https://github.com/appcelerator/titanium_mobile/blob/58198c641d77e17d156431666e80bae732b5c130/android/modules/ui/src/java/ti/modules/titanium/ui/widget/TiUINotification.java#L65-L69), just not documented. Using the integer value of the Android documentation for [Gravity.TOP](http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/Gravity.html#TOP) I was able to position the Toast on the top half of the screen:

Ti.UI.createNotification({
    message: "Please Stand By",
    duration: Ti.UI.NOTIFICATION_DURATION_LONG,
    gravity: 48 // Gravity.TOP
}).show();

My request is: * Document the gravity property * Expose the gravity constants (Ti.UI.Android.GRAVITY_TOP etc..)
