Retrieve Small Icon as Bitmap from StatusBarNotification

I'm trying to retrieve the small icon of a Notification inside the NotificationListenerService.

I've found the notification.getSmallIcon() function that return a android.graphics.drawable.Icon. How it's possible to obtain a Bitmap from that Icon?

You need to use loadDrawable or loadDrawableAsync on the icon it will return a drawable.

loadDrawable added in API level 23 public Drawable loadDrawable (Context context) Returns a Drawable that can be used to draw the image inside this Icon, constructing it if necessary. Depending on the type of image, this may not be something you want to do on the UI thread, so consider using loadDrawableAsync instead.

as shown below

Icon icon = notification.getSmallIcon(); 
Bitmap bitmap = icon.loadDrawable(context);

then you can convert the drawable to bitmap from the stackoverflow link below there are many answers how to convert drawable to Bitmap
