Android shows just round circle in place of the notification icon. Related to #759 and #884.
If no push icon is specified it will use the app icon. But push icon should be white pixels on a transparent backdrop
As the default capacitor icon is not made from white pixels and don't have transparency you'll see a white circle or square (depends on the Android version).
We won't provide a default push icon, users should generate it themselves for their apps, and then add this to their AndroidManifest.xml (with the appropriate name)
<meta-data android:name="com.google.firebase.messaging.default_notification_icon" android:resource="@mipmap/push_icon_name" />
Keeping it open to document it on the push notification docs.
