Error with iconUrl for chrome.notifications

So i'm switching from creating notifications from my in-page javascript to creating the notifications through the background script of my chrome extension. When I was creating the notifications in-page, I could just pass the image URL to the notification and everything would work fine. But i'm getting an error when I do this using chrome.notifications.

var icon_url = request.image;
console.log(icon_url);
chrome.notifications.create(
    {
        type:"image",
        iconUrl: icon_url,
        title: request.name,
        message: ("by "+request.artist+"\non "+request.album),
        eventTime: Number(pref[0])*1000
    },
    function(notificationId) {

    }
);

And when that runs, I get the following console error- Unchecked runtime.lastError while running notifications.create: Image resource provided for notification type != image

I'm dealing with image resources similar to this link. I suspect that it might be that I need to somehow load the image before using it (?). Thats the only problem I could think of because the image is already loaded on the Pandora page.

It doesnt really answer my original question, but by changing the type of the notification from "image" to "basic" it worked as I expected it to work-

var icon_url = request.image;
console.log(icon_url);
chrome.notifications.create(
    {
        type:"basic",
        iconUrl: icon_url,
        title: request.name,
        message: ("by "+request.artist+"\non "+request.album),
        eventTime: Number(pref[0])*1000
    },
    function(notificationId) {

    }
);
