Possible to template notification_icon?

Mobile Apps Home Assistant Companion for Android

I’m trying to spruce up some of my notifications and was hoping to use a template in my daily weather notification to have the notification_icon match the forecast conditions. Does anyone know if this is possible? Because I can’t get it to work as expected.

Here’s what I’ve got:

    service: notify.mobile_app_pixel_4_xl
    data:
      title: Tomorrow's Forecast
      notification_icon: mdi:weather-{{ state_attr("weather.home", "forecast")[0].condition }}
      message: |
          Tomorrow will be {{ state_attr("weather.home", "forecast")[0].condition | capitalize }}
          <br>
          High {{ state_attr("weather.home", "forecast")[0].temperature }}° / Low {{ state_attr("weather.home", "forecast")[0].templow }}°
          <br>
          {{ state_attr("weather.home", "forecast")[0].precipitation_probability }}% chance of precipitation.

The template of mdi:weather-{{ state_attr("weather.home", "forecast")[0].condition }} returns mdi:weather-rainy in the template editor as expected but trying to use it in the service call spits out an “extra keys not allowed” error.

your YAML is not formatted corrected for notification_icon try this:

service: notify.mobile_app_pixel_4_xl
    data:
      title: Tomorrow's Forecast
      message: |
          Tomorrow will be {{ state_attr("weather.home", "forecast")[0].condition | capitalize }}
          <br>
          High {{ state_attr("weather.home", "forecast")[0].temperature }}° / Low {{ state_attr("weather.home", "forecast")[0].templow }}°
          <br>
          {{ state_attr("weather.home", "forecast")[0].precipitation_probability }}% chance of precipitation.
The template of mdi:weather-{{ state_attr("weather.home", "forecast")[0].condition }}
      data:
        notification_icon: mdi:weather-{{ state_attr("weather.home", "forecast")[0].condition }}
