Is there a way to set an Icon URL in FCM?

Question

I am using Firebase Cloud Messaging to deliver push notifications for my social media app.

I would like to change the icon (my app logo) with a user profile photo for example like in TikTok or iMessage.

I can't find anywhere to change this icon parameter in the admin SDK (i am sending push notifications from my server in python).

Is there even a way to change it with FCM ?

On Android, the parameter exist inside the AndroidNotification class :

notification=messaging.AndroidNotification(
                body="Notification android",
                title="hey",
                image="https://example.com/anypostedcontent.png",
                sound="default",
                priority="high",
                icon="https://example.com/anyimage.png"
            ),

But seems to have no effect.

Not sure if it's the app icon that's being changed in push notification but in tiktok it's a normal image being sent in the payload like

android: {
    notification: {
      imageUrl: 'https://foo.bar.pizza-monster.png'
    }
  },
