Push notifications are working well for my Android app, but I need to set a custom notification icon, because it is supposed to be monochrome and different from the app icon.
I know that the Telerik plugin searches for a ic_stat_notify.png called image, but I don't understood where to place it in my Cordova project to get it included it in the Android bundle. Can you give me any advice? I'm mainly a web developer so things like these let me really struggle.

Hi Vincenzo,
You are right, ic_stat_notify.png sets the small notification icon that appears in the status bar.
The short answer to your question about its whereabouts is platforms/android/res/drawable* (platforms/android/res/drawable-hdpi, platforms/android/res/drawable-ldpi, and so on). Ideally, you would have a different icon size for each DPI but it will work even if you only have a single icon file in any of the aforementioned folders. For best results, I recommend reading the Google developer guidelines.
However, I strongly urge you to read our documentation article on this topic. It provides plenty of helpful information such as how to use a custom file name for your icon, how to set the large notification icon, where to place the icon file if you are using AppBuilder, and so on.
