Is it possible to set the notification accent color on lollipop local notifications?

We’re using Enterprise, so I’m sure there is a way for us to do this manually but I don’t want to have to rewrite functions that Corona already has.  

On Lollipop, notifications in the notification panel appear as a white icon on a grey background. We have a series of apps which all use the same icon, however they all have a different colour scheme so changing the bg colour would be helpful.

My understanding is that the background colour can be set:

but it looks to me like this is something that is done at the point where the notification is registered with the system (i.e. during the java-side implementation of the scheduleNotification() function).

Is there a way to set this “accent colour”? Or would I have to rewrite the notification plugin to get this working?

Unfortunately no.  And you also won’t find our notification handling code in the Android notification plugin because it’s part of our core code (because it needs to be for various reasons).  The Android notification plugin is really just a thin interface to our core implementation and it only exists for consistency with our iOS APIs.

You *could* attempt to write your own Android notification code and not use Corona’s, but I don’t think it’s worth it *just* for changing colors.  It’s going to be a ***lot*** of work.
