How to set default smallIcon and largeIcon in an Android notification received?

I'm actually using PushBots to implement GCM notifications for my application.

They give me the option, when I create the notification, to use a specific field where I can set the largeIcon for my push. If I use that, I get something like this:

But, if I dont use that, I get this:

I would like to know if is it possible to set a default smallIcon and largeIcon for every notification (push) that my app recieve or change that white box that appears for my own app icon.

1- Note: I don't create the notification in my code, I create it in the PushBots website Drashboard.

2- Note: largeIcon and smallIcon

enter image description here

Thanks.

Finally, after hours looking the source code of PushBots, I just found out a solution.

In Android Studio, go to File -> New -> Image Asset. Then, choose Notification Icon. Now customize your new small Icon and, before finish it, put the name white_notification_icon for this new asset.

Android Studio will say to you that the file already exists and it is going to be overwritten. Say yes.

Now, you have a smallIcon by default already set!

Please refer following code 

   NotificationCompat.Builder mBuilder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this);
    mBuilder.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.small_notification);
    mBuilder.setLargeIcon(BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getBitmapFromURL("YOURURL"));

    if (version >= 23) {
        mBuilder.setColor(ContextCompat.getColor(this, R.color.black));
    } else {
        mBuilder.setColor(this.getResources().getColor(R.color.black));
    }

As per guide line small icon is compulsory and should be in white color or in gray color with alpha back ground refer this answer for more details
