android - GCM Push Notification Large Icon size

Question

Hi Iam implementing Push Notifications in Android using GCM. I am trying to set an image for the notification instead of the default app icon. I am able to achieve this using the following code

if(extras.getString("src") != null){
            URL url = new URL(extras.getString("src"));
            HttpURLConnection connection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
            connection.setDoInput(true);
            connection.connect();
            InputStream input = connection.getInputStream();
            Bitmap large_icon = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(input);
            mBuilder.setLargeIcon(large_icon);
        }

Typically the image will be from the web(jpg, png etc) and not something in the device. The above code works but the image is either too big or too small. I would like to know the optimum size or aspect ratio for the bitmap so that I can supply an appropriate image
