Android notification large icon, is there a way to remove the smaller icon on the bottom right?

Question

I have a notification that displays a largeicon.

Is there any way to remove the smaller icon from honeycomb and above devices from this view?

Obviously still keeping the small icon for the top status bar

   NotificationCompat.Builder builder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(context)


            // Set required fields, including the small icon, the
            // notification title, and text.
            .setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_notify_status_new)
            .setContentTitle(title)
            .setContentText(text)


            // All fields below this line are optional.

            // Use a default priority (recognized on devices running Android
            // 4.1 or later)
            .setPriority(NotificationCompat.PRIORITY_DEFAULT)

            // Provide a large icon, shown with the notification in the
            // notification drawer on devices running Android 3.0 or later.
            .setLargeIcon(picture)

            .setContentIntent(
                    PendingIntent.getActivity(
                            context,
                            0,
                            notiIntent,
                            PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT)
            );


    builder = getNotiSettings(builder);
    notify(context, builder.build());

Answer 1

Add this code after you build the notification.

   if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {
        int smallIconViewId = getResources().getIdentifier("right_icon", "id", android.R.class.getPackage().getName());

        if (smallIconViewId != 0) {
            if (notif.contentIntent != null)
                notif.contentView.setViewVisibility(smallIconViewId, View.INVISIBLE);

            if (notif.headsUpContentView != null)
                notif.headsUpContentView.setViewVisibility(smallIconViewId, View.INVISIBLE);

            if (notif.bigContentView != null)
                notif.bigContentView.setViewVisibility(smallIconViewId, View.INVISIBLE);
        }
    }

where "notif" is your built notification,

There is only one way: Use your custom layout

Your question is probable a duplicate of NotificationCompat 4.1 SetSmallIcon and SetLargeIcon

Answer 3

Use only setSmallIcon for Your icon. It will be also used for largeIcon if second wasn't specified (just make sure it is big enough to fit both).

Make sure that it looks good on pre-lolipop, lolipop and above. For example here I do set application icon only for pre-lolipop devices, where lolipop and above are getting different smallIcon and same largeIcon as smallIcon.

int currentApiVersion = android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT;
if (currentApiVersion >= Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {
    notificationBuilder
        .setSmallIcon(smallIcon)
        .setLargeIcon(appIconDrawable)
} else {
    notificationBuilder.setSmallIcon(appIconDrawable);
}
