When using Parse for push notifications our app always displayed the application's launcher icon. In the latest Android 5.1 version, the icon appears to be blank (a white square).
I tried setting the icon in the meta data:
<meta-data android:name="com.parse.push.notification_icon" android:resource="@drawable/noti_icon"/>
Based on the question here
But nothing seems to work. Any ideas?
You must use a transparent and white icon under Android Lollipop 5.0 or greater. You can extend ParsePushBroadcastReceiver class and override the two methods to get your notification icon compatible with these Android APIs.
@Override
protected int getSmallIconId(Context context, Intent intent) {
return R.drawable.your_notifiation_icon;
}
@Override
protected Bitmap getLargeIcon(Context context, Intent intent) {
return BitmapFactory.decodeResource(context.getResources(), R.drawable.your_notifiation_icon);
}
Remember to customize your code to support Lollipop and previous APIs.
if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {
return BitmapFactory.decodeResource(context.getResources(), R.drawable.your_notifiation_icon_lollipop);
}
else{
return BitmapFactory.decodeResource(context.getResources(), R.drawable.your_notifiation_icon);
}
