Android notification icon.

[YevheniiShabelnykkk]

Hello, guys! Can somebody help with icon for Android notifications? This icon is always gray and I can't change it. If I do .android.setSmallIcon(‘ic_launcher’) it isn't working. Check the same for firebase - everything is ok. Also tried to add this: <meta-data android:name=“com.google.firebase.messaging.default_notification_icon” android:resource=“@mipmap/ic_launcher” /> - nothing. Also tried to add icon like wrote in docs for Intercom Android - nothing.

Maybe somebody know what to do? Thanks! :)

The problem with the notification icon is that Android has updated the notification logic. First, you need to create the notification icon in the right format. You can use this online tool. You will need to upload a png glyph for the icon to work, exactly like in this blog post.

When you download the zip, you need to change the name of the files to intercom_push_icon.png and that's it! 🚀

The meta-data tag from AndroidManifest is for the default notification icon that you want for your entire app's notifications. You will need to add that too, in the same way but with the different name. First, create the icon, rename all of them to notification_icon.png and then add the following tag to the manifest.

<meta-data
    android:name=“com.google.firebase.messaging.default_notification_icon”
    android:resource=“@drawable/notification_icon” />

Hope this will help you and the others. The docs clearly need an update.
