White notification icon - Android 5.0 Lollipop
Hello, when android:targetSdkVersion is set to higher version than 20,a white box notification icon is displayed in the status bar, instead of the real colored app icon. Android 5.0 allows only white notification icons in the status bar, according to this:
http://www.reddit.com/r/androiddev/comments/2nz0bt/my_app_notification_has_weird_icon_on_android/ http://developer.android.com/design/patterns/notifications.html
It is possible to set the notification icon in Unity editor somehow? What if we want to use white notification icon for SdkVersion > 20 and another colored notification icon for SdkVersion <= 20?
Thank you for help
//add this line to your android manifest file : i have tested this !!
<!-- GCM requires Android SDK version 2.2 (API level 8) or above. -->
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="8"
android:targetSdkVersion="16" />
We're using a plugin called ELAN. It lets you use an icon different from the app icon which will be used for the notification.
Here's the plugin: https://www.assetstore.unity3d.com/#!/content/9484
The trick is to use this to generate your notification icon: http://romannurik.github.io/AndroidAssetStudio/icons-notification.html
The drawable folders should be inside this folder: (Assets/Plugins/Android/res/)
Basically you need to setSmallIcon of notification builder to the required bitmap.
Just to let you know, We recently released Cross Platform Native Plugins
This handles coloured and white icons according to the target platform.
If you can let me know which plugin you are using probably I can guide you better.
I haven't tested it myself but I heard if you set the targetSdk < lollipop then it'll work:
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="9" android:targetSdkVersion="19" />
Hi @Klvana,
What if we want to use white notification icon for SdkVersion > 20 and another colored notification icon for SdkVersion <= 20?
This is gracefully solved in our plugin UTNotifications. It provides you two options: enabling Android 4.4 Compatibility Mode (which sets targetSdkVersion to 19) or set separate notification icons for Android 5.0+ and lesser versions of Android. It also contains solutions for other Android (and not only) related issues, f.e. restores scheduled notifications after a device reboot, which is not supported by Android directly.
