Android Question Notifications icons colors

[LucaMs]

- 22 (?) - notifications icons colors are ignored. Alpha levels used as a mask.

I don't know how I have to create the icon.

I can see it (white) in the status bar but not in the list of notifications.

Can you upload an example?


Thank you.



P.S. SDK target 23 - device: Android 4.4.2.
I'm not so sure that the problem is the "format" of the image file (png, of course), given that the icon is shown on the status bar.

It is a problem with Android 4.4.2, since on a device with Android 7 all it's ok.

Changes in API level 22 (Android 5+) will not affect the behavior of Android 4.4 devices.

Yes but I can see notifications' icons of other apps in the notifications list (4.4.2) but not mine.

[It is just a test so I start the notification directly from the Main Activity]

    Dim n As Notification
    n.Initialize
    n.Icon = "prova"
    n.SetInfo("This is the title", "and this is the body.", Me) 'Change Main to "" if this code is in the main module.
    n.Notify(1)

Use NotificationBuider (LargeIcon).

It's ok (icon shown both on notifications bar and in the notifications list) on Android 7 and 4.0.4; on Android 4.4.2 I can see the icon only on the notifications bar.

Tried NB6 - same thing, icon not shown in the notification list

Android 4.4.2 is damned

Thinking "better"...

Something does not works, since I can see icons, white but also colored, of other apps.

NB6 used the same Notification object for Android 5-. The behavior will be exactly the same.

You need to use barx's NotificationBuilder for this.
