Bug description

The icon for the "Signal update", "A new version of Signal is available" notification is the same as the normal icon for when receiving a new message. This means that when glancing at the notification bar when an update is available, I think I have a new message, which is annoying!

I think the icon should look different, maybe the normal Signal icon with an upwards-pointing arrow in the bottom-right.

... and maybe also different category. Then you can switch it of. I don't want to switch of updates, sure I want them and don't want to miss them. But most of the times when notification is shown, update is not available in store. Later when it is available automatic update is working perfect.
