You can easily identify it by using inspect elements.

For example.: the certificate icon notification

Find the icon name with inspect elements

Find the same icon in the icon-library js

app/assets/javascripts/discourse-common/addon/lib/icon-library.js

            "notification.liked": "heart",
            "notification.liked_2": "heart",
            "notification.liked_many": "heart",
            "notification.liked_consolidated": "heart",
            "notification.private_message": "far-envelope",
            "notification.invited_to_private_message": "far-envelope",
            "notification.invited_to_topic": "hand-point-right",
            "notification.invitee_accepted": "user",
            "notification.moved_post": "sign-out-alt",
            "notification.linked": "link",
            "notification.granted_badge": "certificate",
            "notification.topic_reminder": "far-clock",
            "notification.watching_first_post": "discourse-bell-one",
            "notification.group_message_summary": "users",
            "notification.post_approved": "check",
            "notification.membership_request_accepted": "user-plus",
            "notification.membership_request_consolidated": "users",
            "notification.reaction": "bell",
            "notification.votes_released": "plus",
          };

Then you can replace the icon with any other icon you want.
