Hi guys, got question for the gurus, Managed to set push up on an app im doing in about 5 minutes this morning (great) question i have, is the icon for the push notification seams to be bit small on the device (ipad mini), is this icon preset or can we fiddle with the size. cheers Sean

The badge on the app icon?

iOS: "A badge is a small red oval that displays the number of pending notification items (a badge appears over the upper-right corner of an app’s icon). You have no control over the size or color of the badge." https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/UserExperience/Conceptual/MobileHIG/NotificationCenter.html Android: Android, as usual, seems to not have included this topic in their guidelines, so it seems that it might be ok. There is some discussion of it on the net, such as this Stack Overflow post: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/25030710/gcm-push-notification-large-icon-size Hope this helps! Cheers! -- Smug

Thanks guys, but i mean the icon that comes from app, the icon that appears alongside the message when i send it, ie the apps icon. cheers sean ie so when i send the message , and the message appears, even when the device is in standby mode, the little app icon thats next to the message.

Smugs post above will work for android. I'm not sure if iOS allows you to customize it. Would have to dig deeper in apple docs to find out

Thanks

That might be the 58x58 icon that you have to drag into Xcode (along with the other sizes). Perhaps make that particular icon show its innards in a larger way, but still within the 58x58 space. Zoom in on the innards for that particular icon size. -- Niraj

cool, thanks Niraj
