You should design your notification icons to work well against any background.
When we changed the status bar background to black, we were planning on implementing compatibility for old apps that assumed the old background, like we usually do. However we realized that since there have already been devices shipping with a black background from various vendors, it wouldn't really help -- developers already unfortunately were in the boat where they had to deal with making their icons work on both light and dark backgrounds. So just design your icons to work on both. The simplest way would be to do something like put a black background behind them, perhaps a rounded rectangle.
