Re: [w3c/manifest] Adding the webapp's badge to the manifest (#480)

Browsers currently use their own icons on Android, but that's definitely not sufficient for branding. That's why the per-notification option was introduced. This is insufficient in two cases:

1. Notifications shown on behalf of the website, but not through the Notification API. (E.g. update notifications, media notifications, Chrome's forced push notification.)
2. Android users using Android L or earlier, where the necessary APIs to do this on a per-notification basis are not available.

@skddc It might be, but my concern is that it may be confusing when this happens since it'll be displayed in a different context, much smaller and often with a mask applied.

@kenchris We shied away from this in the Notification API because you'd end up defining operating system behaviour that's out of our control. It has a note indicating that certain resources can be modified by the OS to match platform consistency.
