SUMMARY
When building the application as Flatpak, using setPixmap in notifications causes the application icon in the notification header to disappear. Instead, a plasma-workspace icon is displayed.
This happens because in the Flatpak environment, the pixmap handling mechanism may conflict with the display of the application icon.
I create a testing application: https://invent.kde.org/saurov/test-flatpak-notifications

STEPS TO REPRODUCE (on my application)
1. Build the application as Flatpak:
flatpak-builder build --user --install-deps-from=flathub --force-clean --ccache --install .flatpak-manifest.json

2. Run the application:
flatpak run org.kde.test-flatpak-notifications

3. Click the "Notification with pixmap" button

OBSERVED RESULT
The application icon is missing from the notification header.

EXPECTED RESULT
The application icon should be displayed in the notification header even when using pixmap.
