Hi Everyone

I'm trying to change the icon of the local notification my game is creating using the undocumented SetNotificationImage(Integer iImageIndex) command (undocumented in that it does not appear in the API help you get when you hit F1 while the cursor is on a command)
So without being able to find any help online, I thought I'd turn here in the hopes that somebody has used it and knows

Here's what I do:



So the notification is shown correctly, but without the icon (using the default AppGameKit notification icon)

My icon is a 22x22 PNG image with just a white circle in the middle

Thanks!

I tried running your code through the AppGameKit Player and yeah it didn't work. However when exporting to your APK, there exists an option to set the notification icons. I presume this icon will be hardcoded in so you cant dynamically change it within your code, but you can use a different icon than the standard AppGameKit icon

yes the lack of proper documentation is a bit annoying. the main documentation is based on AGK1 mostly it seems. the forum posts here are offten not of much help as they are closed already since they are years old and never got answered..
if you have lots of time and do this as hobby its no problem to search the forum for bits of information, but a more organized platform would be great. that being said, i haven't played with the icon stuff, but just an idea, have you tried using an actual .ico file ?
also maybe its the size since default icon sizes are 16x16, 32x32, 48x48 maybe try resizing it to 32x32 for example.

Thanks for the reply 0x7f

I've actually used this website for a reference when creating the notification icon:
