You cannot use an image directly.You will have to first download it locally then use it .

Helo,

Helo,

this code

Notification1.Icon = File.OpenInput(File.DirRootExternal & "/images", ayir2(0) & "de.png")

doesn't work too

Are you debugging this with the phone connected to the computer? Because, if that is the case, the DirRootExternal wont be available.

Also, I suggest using File.Combine instead of "File.DirRootExternal & /images"

it is not in every case if you have turned on storage only then it will not be available.

Can you post log of

File.DirRootExternal & "/images" & " File= " & ayir2(0) & "de.png"

And file list of File.DirRootExternal & "/images"

It is not possible as the notification icon must be included during compilation. It is a resource file.

Hi Erel,

WhatsApp changes there icon at runtime?
