Today I am going show you, how to add custom icon to One Signal notification.

We all were having problem on adding custom icon to the notification as it were not looking professional. Well, there are ways to add it but for people, it’s not working. So here’s the proper way to add it.

i) First of all, create your icon using any icon builder or Adobe software.

ii) According to One Signal, the notification must be there in app assets in order to load it properly. They have declared the proper icon size to show it in the notification. The icon size is as follows:

So you have to resize your icon according to this guidelines.

iii) After resizing it and uploading in your app Kodular app, add One Signal component to your app.

iv) After you have done everything, just download your app.

Now open OneSignal, and do as follows.

Open ‘Platform Settings’.

Just write ‘ya’ in the small icon and send the notification. You will see your app icon in your app notification.

Note : The most preferable size for your app notification icon is: 24x24. It will work every time and you will not get the square icon in your notification.

Hope it helped you.

Thank you.

Your guide working but in notification shade there is black circle. Why?

Is it possible to get app icon there?

I am not unable to do that. I am getting this error: “you are not permitted to view the requested resource.”

Ya. It is possible. Make sure that your icon size is according to the guide.

You can see icon of AdultSocial app. Cross check your app icon.

It will work.

What about the notification sound ?

when notification received by the device, one signal has said that default notification sound of the device will play but no sound is playing when notification received.

Any idea about it?

Pls confirm
you mean whatever we make our one-signal icon name, after sending push notification just type ‘‘ya’’ in small icon box??

In my device, notification sound is ringing. Check if you device volume is muted or not.

The_K_Studio · May 4, 2020, 5:52pm

But not in mine.

I checked on silent mode as well as on normal mode, increased system volume and also media volume of the device but no sound is ringing on notification receives.

Which device you are using? Android version?

Mine is 9.
