To make this clear: I’m talking about the app icon on the left side of the notification, not the image/icon you can put on the right side.
I’m a minimalist and would prefer if those notifications only had one icon, which I specifically chose for them and not the Home Assistant logo on top of it.
Yes add the key notification_icon: to the data section of the notification.
Nice. Contrary to what I expected, it even changes the app’s icon within the notification panel. Unfortunately the icon always has the Home Assistant app icon’s blue color, so it won’t be that easy for me to discern between different icons from a glance on my stationary, always wall-charged Pixel 3, considering how relatively small notification icons are on Android 12.
By the way, why did they not implement this feature on iOS? Other apps change their notification icon depending on the context too on that platform.
Just add color: "purple" (pick whatever colour you want) under the data section.
There are many iOS apps that can show multiple icons in their notifications. I wonder why the HA iOS app doesn’t support this.
Gosh, I wish that it would.
The blue HA logo is quite annoying on Android, indeed, as the notification icon only shows on the status bar, and only if that’s the single notification from HA. If you open the shade, you’re suddenly faced with a bunch of blue logos.
Using color doesn’t change it either, and the attached image shows on the other side or at the bottom of an expanded notification… The HA logo is always there. I wonder if changing that is only available to chat apps?
Please vote for this discussion and let’s hope it will be implemented.
