React-native-notifications: [v3][Android] Background Notifcation not using Notification Icon

[puremana]

If the app is in the background while it receives a notifcation, it will use the app icon in the notification rather than using the notification icon even if it is set.

This issue does not occur when in the foreground.

React Native: 0.61.5
React Native Notifications: 3.1.2

Using FCM

You need to add

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

To your manifest to set the background notification icon.

@alexparlett Thank you very much! I believe this should be added to the documentation somewhere and will leave this issue open until this info is easily discoverable.

Make sure the name of the icon is notification_icon else it won't work. Thanks to @tingzhouu
