ic_launcher icon not working for android push notifications about flutter_launcher_icons HOT 2 OPEN

Hello,

I was facing the same issue, and now that it's resolved I don't think this plugin is responsible.

Here's the workaround I've found.

My push notification provider is Batch, and use FirebaseCloudMessaging internally, so I first add a section in the application part of AndroidManifest.xml :

<!-- Set custom default icon. This is used when no icon is set for incoming notification messages.
     See README(https://goo.gl/l4GJaQ) for more. -->
<meta-data
    android:name="com.google.firebase.messaging.default_notification_icon"
    android:resource="@drawable/ic_launcher_foreground" />
<!-- Set color used with incoming notification messages. This is used when no color is set for the incoming
     notification message. See README(https://goo.gl/6BKBk7) for more. -->
<meta-data
    android:name="com.google.firebase.messaging.default_notification_color"
    android:resource="@color/ic_launcher_background" />

From : https://firebase.google.com/docs/cloud-messaging/android/client#manifest
(I only add the optional section about icon)

Unfortunately, the icon was visible but icon background color was always black.
I resolve this issue by following Batch documentation, the naming of properties above are slightly different.

Notice: the icon for notification is used as a mask. That implies it must have a transparent background and all colored part will have same color when shown in notification context.

Hope my xp can lead you to a fix 😃 🤞

@emri99 thanks.
I found a fix as well:

• name your icon "app_icon.png" and place it in the drawable folder
• edit your keep.xml in the raw folder: tools:keep="@drawable/*,@raw/sound" (if your soundfile name is sound.mp3)
• add the name of the file in the settings: AndroidInitializationSettings('app_icon');

keep in mind:
notification icon should be white on transparent color. you can create it in Android Studio > right click on resources > New Image Asset > Notification Icon
