Changing notification icon

[mistermentality]

I want to make notifications appear with a different icon, one that is not the apps icon, so I have copied the icon graphic to the specified folder (obviously renaming it so as to not overwrite the apps icon)

I named it notification.png but when I change "icon" in the line that changes the graphic, so that it says "notification.png" instead it just shows no icon at all.

Have I misunderstood how this works? I thought if you copied the graphic to use into the correct folder you could then use it?

From the help for Notification.Icon, my boldening

The icon value is the name of the image file without the extension

My apologies, I am not sure how I didn't notice that. Thanks.

icon dissapears

Hi,
I'm trying to use an icon in this way:
miNotification.Icon = "smsin"
I've copied the icon into the folder
C:\Sistemas\Basic4Android\fci.agendame\Objects\res\drawable
When I compile, the icon is deleted from this folder
What am i doing wrong?
Thanks in advance

After this you have to make the file read only. Otherwise it will be deleted on compilation. See at Notification - Basic4android Wiki

Responding myself: just need to set the icon file as read only
Thanks!
