Looking for a quick way to add and edit your push notification icon?
It’s actually super easy. The notification icon tells your subscribers who you are. It’s a brand mark on each push notification you send. And that can be priceless because it helps your audience remember your brand.
The cost of making sure that each push notification you send helps you become more memorable? Less than 5 minutes.
In this article, we’re going to show you how to add and edit your push notification icon. And like we said, it’s super easy.
让我们开始吧。
Why Add a Push Notification Icon?
A push notification icon is a small, distinctive image that represents an app on a user’s device. It appears alongside push notifications to visually identify the source app of the message or alert.
This icon helps users quickly recognize which app or website is communicating with them without having to read the notification’s text.
Adding a push notification icon is a smart move for a few reasons:
- Recognition: Just like seeing a familiar face in a crowd, we instantly recognize icons. When your app sends a notification, the icon acts like a little wave, saying, “Hey, it’s me!” This helps users quickly identify which app is calling for their attention.
- Branding: Your icon is like a tiny billboard for your app. It’s a part of your brand identity. Each time users see it, they’re reminded of your app. This can help keep your app top-of-mind.
- User Experience: Users often have many apps installed, and it can be a real jumble. A unique icon helps them manage their notifications more efficiently. They can see at a glance which notifications they want to check out first.
- Professionalism: An app with its own notification icon looks more polished and professional. It shows that you’ve put thought into even the small details, which can improve overall user satisfaction.
- Functionality: Sometimes, the icon can also convey additional information. For example, a messaging app might show different icons for a new message vs. a missed call. This adds an extra layer of functionality and user convenience.
So, a push notification icon might be small, but it plays a big role in how users interact with your app and perceive it!

Now that we understand what a push notification icon is and why you should add it, let’s check out how you can add it easily without any coding at all.
第 1 步：选择一个推送通知服务

点击 网站设置 » 网站详细信息，然后点击 点击此处获取设置说明 按钮：
点击 WordPress 选项卡，然后点击 安装 PushEngage WordPress 插件 按钮将插件安装到您的网站上。

Step #3: Add or Edit Your Push Notification Icon
Go back to your PushEngage dashboard. Click on Site Settings » Site Details and under Upload Your Site Icon, you can upload an image:
The image you upload is your push notification icon. Keep the dimensions of the image at 192px x192px for the best results and make sure that the image size is less than 1MB. You can use a JPG, PNG, or even a GIF for animated brand marks. Just makes sure that the icon is consistent with brand marks that you use on social network sites.
If you need to edit your icon later, this is where you do it. Simply upload a different image and you’re done!
Step #4: Send a Test Notification to Check Your Notification Icon
We recommend creating a website welcome message to test your push notifications. Welcome push notifications are great for:
- 确认： 您要确认您的新订阅者确实已订阅您的网站推送通知。
- 重新互动： 欢迎活动是让您的订阅者返回您网站的好方法。
- 销售： 您可以为新订阅者提供包含折扣、免费赠品和 优惠券 的欢迎优惠。
现在就来创建一个欢迎推送通知活动吧。前往您的 PushEngage 仪表板，然后转到活动 » 自动回复 » 创建新的自动回复：
为您的自动回复活动命名，以便您轻松记住。然后，设置第一个推送通知，在访问者订阅您的推送通知后立即发送。
您可以编辑通知，为您的欢迎消息创建自定义内容。完成后，点击添加新通知按钮，将更多通知添加到序列中。您可以编辑新通知并设置每个通知之间的自定义延迟。
您可以添加任意数量的通知，但我们建议创建包含 5-7 个通知的欢迎自动回复。
之后，在自动回复设置中选择您的受众：
You can send different welcome drips for different segments by using the Send to Specific Audience Group option. This is especially useful when you’re segmenting visitors when they opt for push notifications.
When you’re happy with your targeting, click on the Activate Autoresponder button.
您就完成了！
If your push notifications were installed correctly, you should see a welcome notification like this one:
And as you can see, the notification icon is pretty prominent in our example!
If you’re new to push notifications, you should follow a full-blown push notification testing process before you go live. It’ll help you troubleshoot common issues with the functionality before your visitors see them and start complaining about a broken user experience.
What to do After You Add a Notifications Icon
Now that you know how to add a push notification icon, it’s time for you to start creating your own campaigns. But before you get started with the campaigns, you should study some great push notification examples first.
