💡 Idea
I would like to request the addition of a badge parameter.

It would work exactly the same way as the current icon parameter, but would end up calling setSmallIcon instead of setLargeIcon when building the notification on Android. Currently it is hardcoded to R.drawable.ic_notification.

This would allow customizing the status bar icon which would make it easier to differentiate topics at a glance.

For feature parity, I assume iOS has some sort of similar API to change the status bar icon, and in the web app, this could be accomplished by setting Notification.badge.

💻 Target components

ntfy server
Android app
iOS app
web app

Thanks.
