Summary: It's not possible to set a custom small icon, but from API level 11 you can use setLargeIcon() after you have downloaded your image and converted it to a Bitmap.
[edit] There is another solution: If you create a completely custom notification with its own view, you could put anything inside that view, including downloaded images.
Problem
Hello I am looking for the way to set the bitmap which are not in `res` directory. Actually I am getting that icon from the URL and want to set it in the notification area. Here I am doing but it is only set the icon which are in `res` directory. ``` NotificationCompat.Builder mBuilder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(context) .setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_stat_logo) .setContentTitle(Util.notificationTitle) .setStyle(new NotificationCompat.BigTextStyle() .bigText(notificationMessage)) .setAutoCancel(true) .setDefaults(Notification.DEFAULT_SOUND) .setContentText(notificationMessage); ``` Any idea to set the fetch bitmap from URL and set that icon as `Notification` icon ?
