Google is experimenting with changing which icons Android uses to show notifications in the status bar and always-on display.

That's kinda ironic given how they're moving towards very similar looking main icons for their apps.

Wish they'd just reign in notifications. Most of my apps have notifications disabled or severely restricted because my notification area will never be ad space.

That is not an Android issue

I mean, they can rein them in or not. I really don't care either way, because I'm going to leave most of them off anyway. I turn off the obvious ads, of course, but almost everything else too. Basically, unless it's something that I can take direct action on or someone I know who is intentionally trying to contact me, it doesn't get a notification.
