### changing accent color
To add an accent color to your notification icon in a React Native application for Android, you need to make modifications in your Android project files, not directly in your React Native JavaScript code. Here are the steps to follow:

1. Define the Accent Color:

   • Open your Android project in Android Studio.

   • Navigate to the values directory (usually app/src/main/res/values).

   • Open the colors.xml file. If it doesn’t exist, create it.

   • Define a new color by adding a <color> element. For example:

       xmlCopy code<color name="notification_accent">#FF5722</color>
     

       @Override
       public void onMessageReceived(RemoteMessage remoteMessage) {
           // Assuming CHANNEL_ID is already created
           NotificationCompat.Builder builder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this, CHANNEL_ID)
               .setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_notification)
               .setContentTitle(remoteMessage.getNotification().getTitle())
               .setContentText(remoteMessage.getNotification().getBody())
               .setColor(ContextCompat.getColor(this, R.color.notification_accent_color))
               .setPriority(NotificationCompat.PRIORITY_DEFAULT);
     
           // Show the notification
           NotificationManager notificationManager = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
           notificationManager.notify(notificationId, builder.build());
       }
     

optional: if you are using Notifee

    notifee.displayNotification({ ...message.notification,
     data: message.data,
     android: { channelId: 'default', smallIcon: 
    'notification_icon', color: '#9c27b0', // Hexadecimal color value } });
