As you can see, icons in notifications bar are white, that's why you are seeing all white

The icons generated will be totally solid color (dark grey or white will be used on the device depending on theme).
The icon you add should only contain the "shape" you want to show as the single color. The rest should be transparent pixels.
Any non-transparent pixels will be converted to white. So if you have a square logo with no transparent pixels, it will be a giant single colored square.
Use a .png image so you can save it with transparent background.
