Is it possible to immediately change the extension icon from the popup script?

Question

JavaScript

I update like this:

chrome.browserAction.setIcon({
  path: {
     "32": `./icons/${this.iconName[state]}`
   }
});

But for some reason, changes occur only after the page is reloaded, although the same code is used in the content script and the icon changes immediately.

Is it possible to instantly update an icon from a popup script?

Answer 1

Specify tabIdthe tabs for which you want to change the icon, i.e. a new icon must be added manually for each already open tab. Unspecified tabId, it will only be set for new tabs / after a reboot.
