💡 Idea

Currently, the web app just sets a constant URL as the icon with no way to change it.

8ba4b72b37/web/src/app/notificationUtils.js (L50)

Desktop notifications support supplying arbitrary URLs for the icon, so it makes sense to just pass along the supplied icon URL. This should work pretty much exactly like the image handling code in that function block.

8ba4b72b37/web/src/app/notificationUtils.js (L54)

It's currently possible to display images in the notification through the attach parameter, but this is done through the image notification option, which is only supported by Chrome-based browsers. The icon option is supported by all major browsers.

Alternatively: Add a fallback for displaying image attachments using icon for non-Chrome browsers.
