Cannot get a notification icon with libnotify

I put a 256x256 icon into ~/.local/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/status/foo.png. Then I tried (in Python3)

import notify2

notify2.init("a")
notification = notify2.Notification(
    "a"
    "b,
    "foo")
notification.show()

Now the icon is not picked up. Why?

I tried putting it into

~/.local/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/
~/.local/share/icons/hicolor/256x256/status/
~/.local/share/icons/hicolor/256x256/apps/

but still no success.

Solution

  • I put the icon in the same folder as the script, and it works.
