Public bug reported: I'm not sure I'm filing the bug against the right package.
The persistent notifications on vivid (phone) show a generic human/contact icon, if no avatar was specified. However, that image may not match all contexts in terms of who/what posted the notification (it may be a server monitoring system, for instance, so clearly not a person). current build number: 24 device name: krillin channel: ubuntu-touch/stable/bq-aquaris.en last update: 2015-07-22 14:36:08 version version: 24 version ubuntu: 20150713 version device: 20150529-8e13c5f version custom: 20150709-814-29-21-vivid --- Feedback from Patricia Davila (design): Yes, I agree, a generic contact icon does not add value or give any info to the user in the context of a notification. As I mentioned, if the avatar is not present, the notification artwork should display the originating application's icon by default, rather than an generic placeholder or 'nothing' at worst.
