Android Notification type on Pebble watch

Question

I'm writing application for Android (let's say SMS application) and I would love to have a message icon on my watch when app popups Notification.

I'm not able to do this - always end up with "ring bell" icon on Pebble watch.

I even tried to use Notification categories on Notification:

Notification.Builder notificationBuilder = new Notification.Builder(this)
            .setCategory(Notification.CATEGORY_MESSAGE)
            .setContentTitle("some text")
            .setContentText(text)
            .setSmallIcon(R.drawable.notify);

Tried all categories - always only ring bell icon is shown. After asking Pebble this question their support went silent...

Icon:

Any ideas?

OK, I've got some information from Pebble forum (my own post):

Assuming you are registering for android.provider.Telephony.SMS_DELIVER then we need to whitelist the app before we will process notifications from it. We’ll whitelist apps if you can assure us it produces good notifications (i.e. has stacking + actions). Alternatively you can check the “Disable built-in SMS notifications” preference.

So, basically if you are registering for android.provider.Telephony.SMS_DELIVER and this still does not work you have to write to Pebble team.
