Text annotation icon

Question

Hi would like to change a text annotation's icon.
I do the following code in the PDPageDidAddAnnot notification :
CosDictPutKeyString(cosAnnot,"Name",CosNewNameFromString(cDoc, false, getAnnotStyleFromXML(xmlLayer,annotClass)));
But is has no effect. I have the same pb if I want to change the filling color of Square and Polygon annot.
However I can change color for line, and polyline, it works.
I saw in the pdfReference that if an annotation has an "AP" dict it takes precedance over the "Name" key. So I tryed to remove the AP but it doesn't work too.
If someone has an idea,
Thanks in advance

Ok So I really don't understand what I'm doing wrong.
I do my changes then notify Acrobat : no effetc.
I try to remove AP Dictionnary : no effet
Here is my code may be I can help a bit more cause I'm totally lost now.
I have registered for PDägeDidAddAnnot and here the code I wrote :
ACCB1 void ACCB2 PDPageDidAddAnnot (PDPage page, PDAnnot annot, Int32 error, void * clientData)
char buf[512], annotFont[512];
ASInt32 pageNum;
AVDoc avDoc;

avDoc = AVAppGetActiveDoc();
writeLog("[PDPageDidAddAnnot] - Récupère la cosAnnot et le cosDoc");

CosObj aSubtype = CosDictGetKeyString(cosAnnot,"Subtype");
char *cSubtype = CosCopyNameStringValue(aSubtype,NULL);
writeLog(cSubtype);
//writeLog("[PDPageDidAddAnnot] - Détruit le AP Dict");
//CosDictRemoveKeyString(cosAnnot,"AP");
//PDAnnotNotifyDidChange(annot,ASAtomFromString("AP"),0);
//il faut différencier les types d'annot car pour les 'Text' et 'Line' on utilise la clé 'C'

if ((!strcmp(cSubtype,"Text")) || (!strcmp(cSubtype,"Line")) || (!strcmp(cSubtype,"PolyLine")))
