Technically having two icons is of course implementable on at least some platforms. But I'm not sure how we'd implement it on android for example which I *think* limits what we can put in a notification. I definitely agree that allowing the page to set the icon supports more good use cases. However I'm just not sure how to do it securely. / Jonas
