Is there a way to find an App by its notification icon?

[Nick Ether]

We're curious as to know if there is a technology to do a reverse search on a Notification icon of an App. It doesn't really matter the process (programmatically, third-party, google play, etc.).

This could almost be a game. "What's the App?"

As an example, what would this App be? (see attached file)

That looks like a chat / messaging notification. It's too blurry to tell for sure. In Chrome you can right click on the image and search google images for the pic.

Another option, not requiring chrome, is to use Tineye

Looks like a chat or IM app, don't recognize it though.

Thanks for giving it a shot! It's definitely some messaging/chat App in my opinion as well. It's definitely a challenge!

Long press on it, then goto info. It will bring you to the app in settings.

I do not have access to the device itself, only the icon. It's a "special" case.

Well, somehow we will need some more information as the pic is too blurry / small to get a decent search on. What type of device is it? Is it Android? Can you get a clearer picture?

 

[Nick Ether]

I will get a clearer picture a little later! It's an Android device.

Is this a game or a bet or something? I mean what's it to you if you do find out what this app is? Presumably it's an IM. If it were a clear sharp image, Google Goggles should recognize it.

 

[Nick Ether]

I agree about the clearer image, it's a picture taken of the cellphone's screen. Someone doesn't want us to find out what App they're using so we wanna find out what they're hiding. It could be a dating App and they're cheating on their lover or it could be a typical IM App and they're just playing around.

New info: It's related to a community who have a dream in life.

If you are using Google Images search option then definitely you will going to find it.

As has been mentioned already, the provided picture is too blurry for any of the image-recognition options (Google Image Search, Tineye, etc) to find a match.

Looks like the icon on the top left is 'tune in' an online streaming radio service

And the star is for Subscribe / Favorite / Follow depending on the app.

Hey @BusterPup and welcome to Android Forums!

Could you give this advice a try?

Thanks! Like the earlier posts, I do not have access to the device. Let's play, what app belongs to this icon?! Does anyone know??!

 

[codesplice]

Looks like a generic messaging app to me.

 

[Thom]

I had it on a Messenger+ notification. I cannot find any mention of that icon in the product description.

But isn't this the messenger+ icon?
