<meta-data
     android:name="com.google.firebase.messaging.default_notification_icon"
     android:resource="@drawable/ic_status" />

See image below.

Answer 1

• Remove tag <meta-data>from AndroidManifest.xml.
• The notification constructor has .setSmallIcon(int icon, int level)one that takes an icon as a required argument and a level parameter as an optional argument.

NOTE. .setSmallIcon accepts blueprints and does NOT accept mipmaps .

    private Notification mNotification;
    private NotificationManager mNotificationManager;
    private NotificationChannel mChannel;
    private PendingIntent mPendingIntent;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        ActivityMainBinding binding = DataBindingUtil.setContentView(this, R.layout.activity_main);
        binding.btnNotification.setOnClickListener(v -> notification());
    }

    private void notification() {

        mNotificationManager = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
        notifyId = 1;
        description = "Hello World, welcome to Android Oreo!";

        Intent intent = new Intent(this, MainActivity.class);
        mPendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, notifyId, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);

        if (SDK_INT >= O) {
            id = "id";
            name = "a";
            importance = NotificationManager.IMPORTANCE_HIGH;

            mChannel = new NotificationChannel(id, name, importance);
            mChannel.setDescription(description);
            mChannel.enableLights(true);
            mChannel.setLightColor(Color.WHITE);
            mChannel.enableVibration(true);
            mChannel.setVibrationPattern(new long[] {100, 300, 200, 300});
            mNotificationManager.createNotificationChannel(mChannel);

            mNotification = new Notification.Builder(MainActivity.this, id)
                .setContentTitle(id)
                .setContentText(description)
                .setContentIntent(mPendingIntent)
                .setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher_foreground)
                .build();
        } else {
            mNotification = new Notification.Builder(MainActivity.this)
                .setContentTitle(id)
                .setContentText(description)
                .setContentIntent(mPendingIntent)
                .setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher_foreground)
