Research direction

Start with packages/capacitor-plugin/android/src/main/java/io/ionic/backgroundrunner/plugin/api/Notifications.kt at line 156 and compare the configured resource name with the reported ic_notif setup. Reproduce an Android notification using the smallIcon and LargeIcon settings, then verify that the configured notification icon appears instead of the Info icon.

Description

I have set the smallIcon and LargeIcon to 'ic_notif', saved it in res/drawable but the only thing appears is an Info Icon.
It seems that it can't find the icon but it's saved properly.

When editing Notifications.kt at Line 156 and set smallIconConfigResourceName to the resource name - it works.
