If you insist to use Vector drawable try converting it to bitmap :

Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(),R.drawable.my_vector_drawable);
                    mBuilder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(context)
                            .setLargeIcon(bitmap)
                            .setOngoing(!cancelable);

 if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {
                        mBuilder.setSmallIcon(getNotificationIcon());
                    }
