Change icon on push notification

[felipeprov]

Hi
I am trying to integrate the firebase-notification in my game, i am receiving the messages correctly, but the notifications are using the main icon of my app, that becomes a white block in the notication bar. So i need the push notications use my second icon (ic_stat_ic_notification.png).

I tried to add

 <meta-data
	android:name="com.google.firebase.messaging.default_notification_icon"
	android:resource="@drawable/ic_stat_ic_notification" />

in the AndroidManifest.xml,
And i have a ic_stat_ic_notification.png in the drawable folder if i open the APK.

So i think, everything is in place...

But it always uses the wrong icon...

I am sending messages using the console with the key icon defined.

There is anything else i am supposed to do to change the notification icon?

Best Regards

All the details are here https://firebase.google.com/docs/cloud-messaging/android/receive#edit-the-app-manifest

From your manifest snippet it looks like you're doing the right thing. Have you verified the final merged manifest included in your APK includes this metadata?

@stewartmiles thank you very much your answer!

I just found my mistake:
my xml hierachy was incorrect!
