Yes, you can add your own icons in the
'MacroDroid > UserIcons' folder.
Thank for your reply, but that library "UserIcons" can't be used (is not active) when we need to add a new action / notification / display notification.
Is only available on the trigger side (not in the action side), for example to put an icon in a widget.
Let me know if exist other way...

If you install an iconpack it will show in in the icons library
It is available to different actions, widget button, notifications

The custom icons can only be used to customize widgets.

On the trigger side => User input > Widget button > Custom...

On the action side => MacroDroid specific > Widget button modify (to modify icon image dynamically)

Thank you but what I need is change/customize the icon/image of the notification, not the widget.
Are you sure there is no way to personalize the notification icon?

You're right: I misunderstood your need and thought you wanted to customize widget icons.

@Snurre suggestion is correct: you could install an icon pack but you seem not to be interested.

Otherwise, the only way to 'change' a notification icon would be to have a specific Display notification action with appropriate icon depending on the context (with If... Else if clauses). As an example, a few years ago I made a macro (just for fun but I don't use it) showing 'animated' battery icon in a pop-up message. 😀

Hope it'll help.

For me there is no problem to install an IconPack...

The problem is: after install the IconPack, this icon pack label dont appear when I try to change the icon of the Notification Display (as an Action not a Trigger).
In your MacroDroid appear the labels UserIcons and IconPack when you are inside the action Notification Display?
In my case dont appear, only appear 3 labels: MacroDroid, Notification and Material Design.

You're right, UserIcons are only for widget icons.
As I never installed any IconPack, sorry I can't help you but maybe @Snurre could.

I created a feature request for this. Would be great to be able to choose a custom ico file or something for the MacroDroid status bar icon (which is meaningless otherwise).
