Options empty, resulting in no drawable icon?

[thoasty-dev]

I was stuck on the issue, that android always crashed on loading a playlist, because there was not small icon set:

AndroidRuntime: java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start service org.dwbn.plugins.playlist.service.MediaService@e78b87b with Intent { act=com.devbrackets.android.playlistcore.start_service cmp=**.**.**/org.dwbn.plugins.playlist.service.MediaService (has extras) }: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Invalid notification (no valid small icon): Notification(channel=PlaylistCoreMediaNotificationChannel shortcut=null contentView=null vibrate=null sound=null defaults=0x0 flags=0x10 color=0x00000000 category=transport actions=3 vis=PUBLIC)

I dont know much about the icon system in android / capacitor / cordova, but it came down to these lines: (MediaImageProvider.ts:52 and following)

private val mipmapIcon: Int
  get() {
    Log.i("options", options.toString())
      // return R.mipmap.icon; // this comes from cordova itself.
      if (notificationIconId <= 0) {
          notificationIconId = fakeR.getId("drawable", options?.icon)
      }
      return notificationIconId
  }

When I log options at this point, its always an empty object, even though I set the options before like this as documented:

player.setOptions({
  verbose: true,
  options: {
    icon: 'ic_notification'
  }
})

Has anybody got this to work on android and can share their code?

Hi! Got the same issue yesterday and after short research found that there should be icon.png file into each drawable folder.

BTW, notification icon could be easily generated here: https://romannurik.github.io/AndroidAssetStudio/icons-notification.html

Thank you very much for your help and the link. I will try it out asap. Btw, the link is kinda bugged and leads to /issues/url

honestly this is maybe the oldest part in my codebase and i am not an expert on android neither. i got a "resource id" set there as well and have corresponding pngs in the drawable folder https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/drawable-resource

what was the resolution? How can we improve docs ?
