The getIcon() method returns the canvas icon (<id>.gif) and getPaletteIcon() returns the palette icon (<id>.gif). You cannot map the to Appian documents because they are not. These icons are retrieved from the server as a file on disk rather than as a logical document in the Collaboration Engine.
You might need to actually do a GET to bring the icon into a document in Appian, probably doable with
forum.appian.com/.../HTTP_File_Download_Smart_Service.html
/suite/process/designer/img/smartnodes/canvas/<ID>.gif
/suite/process/designer/img/smartnodes/palette/<ID>.gif
but to be honest I think this is more cumbersome for something that is not as relevant as the rest of the node information. The icon shouldn't matter as long as you can get its name, type, uuid, etc.
If you're interested in this level of detail then the Process Model Documentation is a better approach in my personal opinion
