Disable large icon inside a notification (Android)

[abhi...@quintoapp.com]

I would only like to show the small icon, not the large.

 

 NotificationCompat.Builder mBuilder =
                    new NotificationCompat.Builder(this)
                            //.setLargeIcon(icon)
                            // .addAction(R.drawable.send_bot, "No", pendingIntentNo)
                            .setSmallIcon(R.drawable.notification)
                            .setContentTitle(msg.getString("nt"))
                            .setStyle(new NotificationCompat.BigTextStyle()
                                    .bigText(msg.getString("nm")))
                            .setColor(Color.parseColor("#c33333"))
                            .setSound(Settings.System.DEFAULT_NOTIFICATION_URI)
                            .setContentText(msg.getString("nm"));

However, the above doesn't  work. It still shows both large and small icon. (Post Android Lollipop)

Abhilash,

I believe your query is related to Android, not CleverTap.

Our documentation explains handling App Icons on notifications for Android 5+ : https://support.clevertap.com/integration/android-sdk/#notification-icons-as-of-android-5--lollipop

Thanks,

The first image is created using the below code. And that is the kind i want.

NotificationCompat.Builder mBuilder =
 new NotificationCompat.Builder(this)
 //.setLargeIcon(icon)
 // .addAction(R.drawable.send_bot, "No", pendingIntentNo)
 .setSmallIcon(R.drawable.notification)
 .setContentTitle(msg.getString("nt"))
 .setStyle(new NotificationCompat.BigTextStyle()
 .bigText(msg.getString("nm")))
 .setColor(Color.parseColor("#c33333"))
 .setSound(Settings.System.DEFAULT_NOTIFICATION_URI)
 .setContentText(msg.getString("nm"));

The second Image (with square icon and another small icon attached to it) is generated via 
CleverTapAPI.createNotification(context, extras);

The problem is that i will have to use 
CleverTapAPI.createNotification(context, extras);
to generate notification, otherwise the click events won't be captured in case of Campaign based notifications. That is what was happening till now. That was the only reason I had to move away from my custom builder.

Abhilash,

Not sure what you're doing here. Like I mentioned over the call this morning, you have to parse our Payload. This can be avoided if you use parse are payload on your notification extras.
