Android 6.0: notification icon does not change

[tschuppi]

Hi,

My Environment

Plugin version: Latest
Platform: Android
OS version: 6.0+
Device manufacturer / model: Nexus 5
Cordova version (cordova -v): 6.3.1
Cordova platform version (cordova platform ls): 5.2.2

Plugin config

                'icon = "file://images/" + icon;
                cordova.plugins.notification.local.schedule({
                    id: data.msgType,
                    title: title,
                    text: data.message,
                    icon: icon,
                    data: {
                        sender: data.sender,
                        msgType: data.msgType
                    }
                });'

I simply want to assign a custom image that will be displayed instead of "icon" and "smallIcon".

Expected Behavior

The standard 'bell icon' with grey background should be replaced by my image file.

Actual Behavior

The 'bell icon' with grey background is still displayed.

Context

I tried different file paths, but there was no change. When i placed my favorable image in "res"-folder and changed the icon parameter to 'icon' it displayed a white rectangle, but thats not what i wanted.
Before Android 6.0 everything worked fine with the code snippet above.

You have the notification png in the wrong place. You need to use a hook to move the icon to the right place in the android platforms. Google for "cordovas hook android notification icon".

Thanks! That was the correct impulse for me.
Solved the problem with the following knowledge:

https://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/6.x/guide/appdev/hooks/index.html

Next problem is: I am able to change the white icon in the center, but how can i change the background color?

Found the solution:

#874

Color Attribute is missing in the documentation
