I'm not familiar with ImageIcon but you could simply first try to create an image from your source (your byte[] array) and then, if everything goes fine, create the ImageIcon.

Like this:

    ByteArrayInputStream bas = new ByteArrayInputStream( new byte[] { -119, 80, 78, 71, 13, 10, 26, 10, 0, } );
    Image img = null;
    try {
        img = ImageIO.read( bas );
    } catch (IOException e) {
        ... // You'll catch that one should it happen...
    }

and then if everything goes fine your create the ImageIcon:

ImageIcon ii = new ImageIcon( img );
