[Android] Small Icon not working correctly in release build

[humayune01]

I am having a weird issue with small icon. In the beginning, I thought it is just not working in release build because it was working with development build. So I checked other closed issues 243 and 92.

It works in the beginning or may be just for first few notifications then after sometime it shows a white circle.

I followed the notifee guide thoroughly and generated icons in Android Studio. Read about Shrinking via @mikehardy twitter link.

So I enabled minify and shrinking. I also added a keep.xml to make sure my icon is in resources and I checked APK in Android Studio resources.arsc in drawable it has the icon.

Now I don't know what to do because it was working and now it is not working automatically.

I'm using Expo latest version:
"expo": "^51.0.21"
"react-native": "0.74.3"
"@notifee/react-native": "^7.8.2"

Why it is working partially? Can anyone please help with this.. I am not getting any lead.
Thanks!!

I tried to reinstall the release APK but it didn't show icon at all. Just white circle!
But then I noticed a thing.
When I dismiss any notification it shows a blank notification with my icon correctly.
Here is the video.

this is the code for background event I have:

notifee.onBackgroundEvent(async ({ type, detail }) => {
    const { notification, pressAction } = detail;
    await notifee.cancelNotification(notification?.id || '');
});

Same here, any updates?
Google Pixel 7a.

I'm finding for push notes its fine but local notes its not using the specified icon.

---

Update: specifying smallIcon: 'ic_notification' and adding a alpha channel transparent png worked. Had to specify when using createTriggerNotification whereas push notes get the icon applied via manifest.

Im facing the same issue i have pixel 6a and also pitcture we are sending are not displaying

My code:

async function onDisplayNotification(remoteMessage: any) {
await notifee.requestPermission();
const channelId = await notifee.createChannel({
id: 'default',
name: 'Default Channel',
importance: AndroidImportance.HIGH,
vibration: true,
vibrationPattern: [300, 500],
});

await notifee.displayNotification({
  title: remoteMessage?.notification?.body,
  body: remoteMessage?.notification?.title,
  android: {
    channelId,
    smallIcon: 'ic_notification',
    pressAction: {
      id: 'default',
    },
    style: {
      type: AndroidStyle.BIGPICTURE,
      largeIcon: require('../../assets/appIcon.png'),
      picture:
        endPoints.showImage +
        remoteMessage?.notification?.android?.imageUrl,
    },
  },
});

}

Solution will be appreciated thank you.

@kartvya here's my channel creation and payload

await notifee.createChannel({
id: 'my-channel-id',
name: 'My Channel',
description: 'Notifications for updates and reminders',
sound: 'default',
importance: AndroidImportance.HIGH,
});

await notifee.displayNotification({
title,
body,
android: {
channelId: 'my-channel-id',
importance: AndroidImportance.HIGH,
pressAction: {
id: 'default',
},
smallIcon: 'ic_notification',
color: '#E64626',
},
});

Maybe try specifying a color ;)
Or a string for channelId.

My ic_notification.png sized files are in the respective drawable-xxx folders under res. They are transparent pngs with a solid white foreground icon.

need attention.

I managed it using transparent png icon and giving that icon red color to show.
