Notification Icon Colours That Work

Allow chosen colour for notification icons to actually reflect in the notifications per android 5+ APIs. currently the colour chosen has no effect on android 5/6/7+. this was the whole point the option was added, but it never worked. otherwise why else would you let us choose the notification icon colour?

Pent never seemed too bothered about this for some reason. Hopefully now Joao has taken over, we may see this feature come to work?

No not status bar icons. The actual notification icon when you expand the notification bar. Status bar icon will always be white. That is as you mentioed standard in android. On android 5/6 the icon background color is the color used. On nougat, the actual icon color is the color used. The notification action button text also inherits these. colours. I'll grab some screenshots again. They are in a post somewhere in the tasker group forum already. I'll try and find the thread.

Hi Joao. I see the feature in other apps macrodroid, aquamail. Android even shows coloured icons in their own google apps. Ie gmail is red icons, play store are green, play music are orange etc.

Hmm, I only see white icons myself. Are you sure you are referring to the status bar icons?

No problem. Select notification action then select icon and select material design then click the search icon in the top right. Should be a color pallet icon really.

Oh I see what you mean. Unfortunately there's no way to change the color there sorry. Only Samsung devices (that I know of) allow non-white icons.

Hi. Can you please clarify where this option is located? thanks!
