NSUserNotification customisable app icon?

Question

I just noticed that iTunes' notification icon was replaced by album covers:

iTunes Notification

And it's app icon was a small one near the title, which is a bit different from the ones I knew of:

Normal Notification

Where I can only add images as part of the content, not the app icon.

Is there an undocumented NSUserNotification API that I didn't know?

NVM, I found the answer.

iTunes use private APIs.

NSUserNotification *notification = [NSUserNotification new];
[notification setValue:anImage forKey:@"_identityImage"];

**PRIVATE** APIs are not allowed in MAS except Apple's in house apps. – Cai Nov 19 '14 at 11:45
I've submitted a radar asking Apple to make this public http://www.openradar.me/radar?id=6424021574877184 – Keith Smiley Jan 14 '15 at 23:45

Just out of curiosity, how exactly did you find out about this private API? – Romain Pouclet Jan 15 '15 at 14:05
