Description Nicholas O'Connor 2014-12-14 22:31:09 UTC 
Many Android notifications have a "larger" icon in the notification drawer (generally contact pictures for SMS apps). knotify has the necessary image support for displaying these icons. Therefore, we should be given the option to display these icons.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Using the SMS example

1. Get an SMS app that displays contact icons in the notification drawer (I personally use EvolveSMS)
2. Receive a text message from a contact with an image.

Actual Results:  
Contact picture not displayed, generic blue orb with ! character in its place.

Expected Results:  
Contact picture displayed, possibly after an opt-in process.

The proprietary program Pushbullet is capable of doing this in Windows [1], so in concept this is definitely possible. I'm aware of the possible privacy issues, so an "opt-in" in the form of a checkbox in the notification sync settings would probably be ideal (perhaps with a per-app opt-out alongside but I'm just throwing ideas at the wall).

This is implemented on other similar applications such as this one:

It forwards the app icon to desktop.

This is the case now. Sorry it took a while!
