Can't get notification button icons to show on mobile. #531

I'm trying to use custom icons for my notification's buttons. I am able to assign a graphic to them and have them show up in Chrome on my desktop, but when I run it through CADT the icons show up as 'information' icons. Is there any special way of defining these to work on mobile, for various screen densities? Check out the attached images.

Desktop: desktop

Mobile: mobile

Currently, it isn't possible to define custom icons for notification buttons. There are a couple reasons:

The Android API for notification buttons requires icons to be a resource in the apk (i.e. provided under res/drawable)
Other than app icons, Cordova doesn't provide any way to package assets as Android resources

We would need to extend Cordova to support Android resources, and the chrome.notifications plugin to map asset urls to Android resources.

Thanks for the info. Sounds like a bit of work then.
