I'm seeing similar problems with the default notification icon following the steps described here: https://rnfirebase.io/docs/v5.x.x/notifications/android

My manifest contains:

<application ...>
        <meta-data
            android:name="com.google.firebase.messaging.default_notification_channel_id"
            android:value="notifications"/>
        <meta-data
            android:name="com.google.firebase.messaging.default_notification_color"
            android:resource="@color/colorAccent" />
        <meta-data
            android:name="com.google.firebase.messaging.default_notification_icon"
            android:resource="@drawable/my_notification_icon" />

Attempting to send a notification via displayNotification requires that I put .android.setChannelId( even though I believe the default should kick in when it's not there.

The icon is not being set either per the defaults. Notifications from Firebase itself are not appearing because currently they do not have a channelId set, which leads me to believe the default channelId is also not working.

I am also encountered this issue while running on Android API 27 or lower. I have tried setting the default_notification_icon in the manifest and an icon within firebase.notifications.Android.Action. Note that the icon correctly displays on Android 28. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Note I'm using this following version of firebase "com.google.firebase:firebase-core:16.0.7" "com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:17.3.4"

This has nothing to do with the library, it's the way icons work in Android in newer APIs
