Why do I see the default terminal icon when I'm setting my own? (OS X)

[lipis]

This happens on OS X (didn't test other platforms) when I'm not have the icon option:

and when I have it:

Am I missing something? How could I get rid of the terminal icon next to the title?

  notifier.notify({
    title: 'Title',
    message: 'Hello, world!',
    icon: 'path/to/image.png,
  }, function(error, response) {
    console.log('error', response);
  });

Same issue here.
Haven't found any solutions

No, I'm afraid that's how the notification work, as it's the terminal that initiates the message. The only way to avoid this is to use your custom terminal-notifier where the Terminal icon is swapped for your own. It's not a big task, and you can easily set customPath for notification center reporter.

This happens because of the way notifications in macOS work. The notification shows the referring app's icon, and as we're using terminal-notifier to push notifications for macOS, we have the icon of terminal-notifier.

To work around this, you'll need to compile terminal-notifier with your own app.icns. Download the source, change out the AppIcon bundle with your own in Xcode, recompile terminal-notifier and pop it into node-notifier. (/node-notifier/vendor/terminal-notifier.app)

Now that you have your own terminal-notifier inside node-notifier, remove all the icon references from your OS X Notification Center code, and run the notification as if it has no icon. If the old app icon is showing in your notifications, you need to clear your local icon cache. (Google how to do this)

If you have any questions, feel free to ping me 🙂 ~

Thanks @kurisubrooks but I won't try it at the moment, since that wasn't urgent and it looks like it's not that straight forward. The Notifications API works nicely on OSX so I'll rely on this one now..

@georgebgk
Navigate to node_modules/node-notifier/vendor
Rename your custom icon into Terminal.icns
Right-click terminal-notifier file and click Show Package Contents
Navigate to Contents/Resources
Replace Terminal.icns file with your own
Open terminal-notifier/Contents/Info.plist

The most important things are the next two steps.
Change the build version to anything.
Change the bundle identifier to anything.
