Question

I would like to set another default icon for my notification. I use the notification service of parse.com and would like to change the icon in the notification bar.

Is that possible without changing the title and the text with Notification.Builder?

Answer 1

Post your source code on how you create your notification.

But in general, to change the notification icon, you just call the method setSmallIcon or setLargeIcon. Here’s an example:

 Notification notif = new Notification.Builder()
     .setContentTitle("New mail from " + sender.toString())
     .setContentText(subject)
     .setSmallIcon(R.drawable.new_mail)
     .setLargeIcon(aBitmap)
     .build();

In your case, just supply a different icon drawable to the setSmallIcon method.
