I'm trying to integrate my app with Ubuntu notification system. It works ok, but I don't know how to show my icon in the bubble.
My code looks something like:

notification = Notify.Notification.new ("Title", "Some text here", "/data/media/my-app-icon.svg")

notification.show ()

Unfortunately only text is visible.

Finally I figured it out.
My icon is in /data/media, so I used get_media_file from helpers.py

from easy_stopwatch_lib.helpers import get_media_file

and then I did:

        Notify.init ("easy-stopwatch")

        icon = get_media_file("my-icon.svg")

        notification = Notify.Notification.new ("Title", "some text here", icon)

        notification.show ()

and everything is working.
