how to set icon for push Notification

Question

according to this question we have to provide a different type of icon for notifications in android 5 or later which is fine but how i'm gonna set this new icon on my notification linked question's answer says do something like this

Notification notification = new Notification.Builder(context)
        .setAutoCancel(true)
        .setContentTitle("My notification")
        .setContentText("Look, white in Lollipop, else color!")
        .setSmallIcon(getNotificationIcon())
        .build();

return notification;



private int getNotificationIcon() {
boolean useWhiteIcon = (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP);
return useWhiteIcon ? R.drawable.icon_silhouette : R.drawable.ic_launcher;
}

but in my case i'm creating my Notification in serverSide Code , so i have no idea what to do or how to do ? , do i have to assign this new icon in server side code or i can do this in my project's inner class ??

if anybody have any clue then guide me

P.S. - if my question is not clear enough then let me know i'll add some more detail

thats not my code , this is what linked question's answer is suggesting me to do , but i'm configuring my notification in server-side code thats why i can't use it right there... @tamtom — remy boys, Aug 15 '16 at 05:54

You can keep the desired icon in your

res/drawable

folder and then in the notification data you can tell which icon to use. e.g

data={
    "to" : "/topics/my_little_topic",
    "notification" : {
    "body" : messageBody,
    "title" : messageTitle,
    "icon" : "ic_cloud_white_48dp"
    }
}

Notice that the name of the icon in your res folder should exactly match the value of the icon property in your JSON data.
