How can I customise the notification icon as it appears in the Notifications Drawer?

[dg2k]

My notification icon, as it appears in the Notification Drawer (as you swipe down on the Status Bar), is not optimal, say, compared with other apps such as Twitter or YouTube.

• The icon size is smaller. For IconSmallName I tried 24x24px, 48x48px, 96x96px and even none (so the default App icon is scaled and used). No difference was noticed.

• The background setting didn't work for me. I tried setting the Color property of AndroidOptions object when creating NotificationRequest as:
  Color = new AndroidColor() { Argb = 0x0000ff } but no success.

Any tips how to customize the icon for better visibility?

especially with Android 12 there are guidelines on how to design it

Would you kindly provide the link for the guidelines? Thank you.
