We have notifications in our app since a long time, which work fine. I have a small, multicoloured .png-icon we use for them, that have worked fine in the past.
In Oreo, the icon is not displayed properly, it is just a grey square. Looking at the drawer on the device, it seems that the system, gmail etc. all now have single-colour icons, so i suspect that it has something to do with that.
However, i can't find any documentation, design guidelines or anything that confirm this, so i am surrendering to a question here...
How can i make my icon display as normal in Oreo? What am i missing?
This is how i create the icon, from what i can see in documentation it should work, and it works pre-Oreo:
NotificationCompat.Builder builder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(context);
builder.setAutoCancel(true).setContentTitle("Title").setWhen(when)
.setContentText(message).setDefaults(Notification.DEFAULT_ALL)
.setSmallIcon("icon.png").setContentIntent(contentIntent);
getNotificationManager(context).notify(NOTIFICATION_ID, builder.build());
