React-native-fcm: NOTIFICATION ICON MISSING:[White Box is shown inside a grey circle][TRIED IN MARSHMALLOW,LOLLIPOP ]

[rimzici]

Using :

"react": "^15.2.1",
"react-native": "^0.31.0",
"react-native-fcm": "^1.0.16",

From the server side tried sending icon as
icon : ‘ic_launcher’
and
icon : '@mipmap/ic_launcher',

in my react-native project i have my app icon inside

/project/android/app/src/main/res/mipmap-xhdpi/ic_launcher.png

i also tried putting icon in root res folder as

/project/android/app/src/main/res/ic_launcher.png

RESULT :
A white Box is shown in the notification tray with title, when i receive notification.
But if i lock my device screen and there i can see my app icon with title displayed for the same push notification.
Need Assistance.
Thanks in Advance.

HI evollu,

Can u help me to solve the same issue,
white box is showing, when app is in background

[evollu]

you need to provide a notification icon with white content and transparent background. check https://github.com/evollu/react-native-fcm/tree/master/Examples/simple-fcm-client/android/app/src/main/res

Thanks evollu.
can we keep two different icon for each ie one for launcher and other for notification?
or can we send notification icon via FCM console?

[evollu]

yes. check that folder again, you will see icon files for notification
then in your notification payload you need to add
"icon": "ic_notif"

[giordy]

In my case I was not getting the icon even after inserting

"icon": "ic_notif"

in the notification payload. I solved by adding

<meta-data android:name="com.google.firebase.messaging.default_notification_icon" android:resource="@mipmap/ic_notif"/>

in AndroidManifest.xml (within the <application>tag).

I hope it can be useful to someone.

Thanks @giordy . Adding meta-data worked for me. I didn't need to add 'icon' in the payload.
