3) Configure Icons --> IMPORTANT

For below Lollipop devicesFor Lollipop & above devices
Devices below lollipop shows only one icon in the push notifications, that you can configure from notifyvisitors panel.

To change the default notification icon, you can replace icon sm_push.png in your app’s module app/src/main/res/drawable folder.		Devices supporting Lollipop & above shows two notifications icons i.e., small push icon & large push icon.

Large push icon: It is configured from panel & is shown as main push icon. However if large push icon is not configured from panel then small push icon is shown as main push icon.
Small push icon: It will be set according to android documentation (https://developer.android.com/about/versions/android-5.0-changes.html). It should be transparent, otherwise it will be shown as square white spot.
