Thanks but that's not how things work, the icon is coming from the
client code adding the entry. The contact one is e.g used by telephony-
service. Can you provide steps to get an entry which is not from a
person with a buddy icon? That service would be where the bug is

Title:
  Should not use generic contact avatar

Status in unity8 package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  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).

  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.

  Please see the following spec for more information on layout and
  behaviour of notifications in the notification centre:
