After a few seconds, the LED on the power plug turned dim green again, but when I rebooted the computer, the battery immediately began charging.
Then I plugged the power cord back in FIRST, so that the LED lit bright green (it was a dim green when the battery was installed first). I unplugged the power supply, removed the battery, and then held the power button down for five seconds. So I reset the SMC again, but this time paying attention to the order things were done, and it worked.
When I plugged the battery and charger back in, the battery was still at 45% and not charging. I tried all of the "pre-SMC reset" options suggested by Apple with no luck, so I repaired Disk Permissions and reset the SMC. When I installed the new battery, it stopped charging at 45% and stayed there. I installed a brand new battery (on my MacBook Pro 2.6 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo) because my old one was just plain worn out and would only hold a charge for about 30 mins. I had the same problem as everyone else here.
