v0.50.1: termux-notification custom icon not working anymore

[seffparker]

The custom notification icons set using --icon option is no longer working after updating from 0.49 to 0.50. Downgraded to 0.49 and confirmed the bug in the version 0.50

Working with Termux-api v0.49 and not on v0.50.0 nor v0.50.1... downgraded the api while keeping all the rest updated...

[AgentConDier]

I just installed the latest termux + termux-api APKs from GitHub Actions, and notification icons are working again!
If this is not due to some difference between debug and fdroid builds it should be fixed in the next release. Edit: It seems icons only work in debug builds currently
Tested with termux 0.118.0+1488bb0 and termux-api 0.50.1+df3cb50

[Neo-Oli]

Can we get a release then? Or is something blocking it?

[agnostic-apollo]

Main issue is that termux-am-socket support added will only be available when termux-app release gets out. I did plan to refactor Termux:API stuff since its a mess and wanted to add a proper api convention, but can optionally be done after release, I am busy with termux-app release anyways. There may be some issues as well that may need fixing, or PRs merged by others may need looking into, like useless flags being passed, etc.

[ollietues]

I am also still having this issue.

[AgentConDier]

I feel like this might be due to an issue in the build process, maybe the icons are considered unused because they are never referenced in the code directly and get removed from release builds.
I just built both release and debug signed APKs using Android Studio (of 65da177). If I install the release version, icons don't work. If I install debug instead, the icons show up as expected.

[elig0n]

Same on Termux 0.118.1, Termux-API 0.50.1 from F-Droid on Samsung OneUI 4.1.

event_note icon is always shown despite trying several other --icon names like: terminal, Terminal, search, Search.

Also, when multiple notifications are sent the event_note icon is only displayed for the Termux:API notifications container itself and not for each note.

[Neo-Oli]

This still seems to be an issue even with the new version of Termux API. I'm downgrading to v0.49 again.

[stefanheinen]

Still happening to me as well with the current release.
