Notification Icons & Images

Web Push Notifications support Icon, Image, and Badge customization options.

Setting the Icon, Image, and Badge

By default, iZooto uses a Bell Icon for Icon and Badge. This can be changed to one of your choices from the iZooto panel while sending the notification under the Message section.

Badges can be changed from under the Advanced section on the Send Notification page.

The image can be defined by using the Banner Image field under the Message section on the Send Notification page.

If you are using Rest APIs to push notifications, you can use icon_url, badge_icon_url, and banner_url parameters to define Icon, Badge, and Banner Image respectively.

Only Chrome supports displaying a large image below the notification's title and message. Chrome on macOS requires the BigSur update or higher to support images.

Image Issues?

For troubleshooting, please refer to Notification Images Not Shown on Device.

Sliding Image on Android (too many notifications in the tray)

When there are too many notifications in the tray, the image may not be shown at first. The notifications has to be "scrolled down" to see the image.

Badges

Chrome on Android

For Chrome 53+ on Android 6.0+, the badge replaces the Chrome browser icon that appears in the notification tray and above the title. In this example, a custom badge for the app replaces the Chrome browser icon.

Badge Requirements

Here is an example badge icon of our iZooto logo that uses only the alpha channel.
