Notification doesn't show the app icon

[ashishsajwan]

var push = PushNotification.init({ 
        "android": { 
            "senderID": "123456789", "icon": "icon", "iconColor": "blue"}, 
       "ios": {}, "windows": {} 
    });

setting "icon" : "icon" because i have icon.png inside drawable folder ...

but on receiving notification , instead of icon, it shows white square inside a grey circle ...

Here are the screen shots. .. on lock screen it shows app icon with colored background .. although i was expecting app icon to fill up all the space ..

but once you unlock this is how it looks

@ashishsajwan what you show here is proper behaviour. As of Android 5+ there are new guidelines to follow for icons. Check out: http://developer.android.com/design/patterns/notifications.html under "Use distinct icons".

The small icon is only supposed to be white with transparency. That is why I added in the icon property for Android so you could specify the properly formatted icon.

@macdonst, like @ashishsajwan asked, how can we show the new icon for Android 5+ but also be backwards compatible for Android versions below 5 (mainly Android versions Jelly Bean and KitKat, they still have pretty significant install numbers Google Dashboard).
