Thanks for reporting the issue. The inability to set the navigation notification background color is a bug and will be fixed soon.
As for the notification without a small icon, you cannot build a valid notification (for the phone or the car screen) without a small icon. The linked documentation does not mention that such configuration is possible.

(This image has been made by setting a single transparent pixel as small icon)

I also see that google maps is able to show big icon without small icon.
If you compare notification on the phone GmapsPhoneNotification.png with HUN on headunit GmapsHUN.png, you will see that phone notification has small green chevron as small icon and instruction set as big icon.
On the headunit however, the icon in HUN is shown without a small icon as a badge (which should be the small chevron). With CarAppExtender we cannot unset either small or big icon. Setting it to null causes the icon from main notification to be used.

We are working to enable developers to provide great in-car app experience for the users, but we do not always aim for the exactly same UI as current car apps such as Google Maps. However, we will take your feedback into consideration as we continue developing our library.

Would be very useful to know for our internal planning.

I assume you mean Android Auto 6.2?
As Android Auto 6.1 is already released, and apps with the Jetpack Library still do not work.

Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite (Android 11)

Google Pixel 3a XL (Android 11)

Both devices give the same error-message;
ANR API: GET_APP_VERSION
I probably downloaded it from APK-mirror, because I'm really really excited for Android Auto and can't wait for the Play Store updates :-)

Ah I see the issue, in
You declare the androidx.car.app.min-api-level to be 2 (according to our documentation). You can either remove that metadata, in which case we assume the min level to be the latest (1 for the initial release), or simply change that value to "1".
Thanks for catching this. We will update our javadoc and surface the error better for a future release.

Fix has been submitted and should be available in the next library release.
Please let me know if the workaround in
Thanks again for reporting the issue!

The fix mentioned in #15 works for me! Thanks for the help!
I've pushed a fix to the repo on Github, so the links mentioned before now point to a commit that has the fix already;
For futre reference, here's a link to the version before the fix.

- I'm running into the GET_APP_VERSION issues.
- I'm trying various variations of manifest.xml configurations
- I'm trying to get your Nav2Contacts app working
I have a older version of Android Auto working. And if I use the this old intent filter I can kind of get it to work.
```
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="com.google.android.car.action.CAR_APP" />
<category android:name="com.google.android.car.category.NAVIGATION"/>
</intent-filter>

But when I try to upgrade to new versions, the head-unit doesn't recognize the apps.
I'm suspecting that it is a head unit issue, did you all share what version this was working on? As far as I can tell this is supposed to be 2.0 rc
```
➜ auto ./desktop-head-unit --version
Android Auto - Desktop Head Unit
Build: 2020-09-20-332761970
Version: 2.0-mac-beta
```
ky...@mapbox.com
But it opens a blank screen
```
➜ auto ./desktop-head-unit --version
Android Auto - Desktop Head Unit
Build: 2015-09-16-2258745
Version: 1.0-macosx

Description
Devices/Android versions reproduced on: (does not matter, library bug) Android 10, Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite
Android Auto version reproduced on: (does not matter, library bug) 5.8.604354-release
If this is a bug in the library, we would appreciate if you could attach, if possible:
- Sample project to trigger the issue.
- A screen record or screenshots showing the issue (if UI related).
Added screenshots 'GoogleMaps-rail' and 'MyApp-rail'.
- A bug report.
We want to recreate the effect that Google Maps has; (see "GoogleMaps-rail")
That is a colored circle behind an arrow, for in the rail-widget (using notifications)
This is not possible using a Large-Icon alone; as can be seen in the "MyApp-rail" screenshot.
The LargeIcon is not shown large enough the reach the top and bottom.
Google Maps seems to use 'setColor' on the extender to make the whole circle green.
The problem is that the CarAppExtender does not contain the setColor-method, the CarExtender does.
Please add the setColor-method to the CarAppExtender, same as on the CarExtender.
