Description

The notification.confirm() function places the options in the wrong order.
iOS and Android 3.0+ should always use the dismissive action on the left and the confirming action on the right. Android 2.3 and below used the UX paradigm of having those orders reversed.

Right now, if one were to set the buttons as 'No,Yes', then iOS would show the correct order, but Android 3.0+ has the buttons backwards, as the confirmation API uses the older Android 2.3 and below style. However, either way the Android implementation is backwards. The Android 2.3 button order should NOT match up with iOS like it currently is. And the Android 3.0+ order should be the same as iOS.
