Please make sure your tag is inside tag and noti_icon is in drawable. — Arkar Aung, Feb 20 '15 at 06:33
@Surya the answer you marked as correct is no longer true as the API they're using is deprecated. The correct answer should be http://stackoverflow.com/a/30586391/1103584 — DiscDev, Nov 06 '15 at 20:18

The official way to change the Android push notification icon when receiving push notifications using Parse, as stated in the Parse Android docs for push notifications is as follows:

enter image description here

IMPORTANT
Make sure the image that you want to use follows the Icon Reference Chart section for Notification icons - specifically:

They should be flat (no gradients), white and face-on perspective

If your icon violates one of these requirements, your icon will show as a white box.

Doesn't work for me. It always show a white box in my status bar. – Bagusflyer Jun 26 '15 at 03:16
@bagusflyer you must have missed that your icon is required to be flat with no gradients, which is why it shows as white. Please read the full answer and it will work as expected. – DiscDev Nov 06 '15 at 20:21

In PushService, each of the setDefaultPushCallback() and subscribe() methods allows an extra parameter to specify the icon:

PushService.setDefaultPushCallback(context, SomeActivity.class, R.drawable.customIcon)

PushService.subscribe(context, "ChannelName", SomeActivity.class, R.drawable.customIcon)

Both calls are deprecated – 0xPixelfrost May 06 '15 at 17:19
This is deprecated. Edit your manifest file instead: http://stackoverflow.com/a/30586391/1103584 – DiscDev Nov 06 '15 at 20:15

When I use this icon in my cordova project the aapt tool will remove the alpha channel before packaging the png. Any idea why that is? – philk Jun 17 '16 at 23:05

Or you could have just uploaded an Image on Parse.com under Settings and then Icon Image.
