Check the belt on your alternator. Check the cables from the alternator. Use a multimeter to test the alternator.

1: If your battery light is on while the engine is running, your Alternator is not producing any charging power. Check the cable connections or have the alternator checked. It may need replacement.
2: That icon means you should check your coolant, because it is running low.

Check all your fuses and battery connections, and the charge state of your battery itself. If it's a new alternator, then the problem is somewhere in the fuses or wiring.
I put a new alternator, starter, and battery. the car is still not charging. not sure what the reason is

Althea it is better if you ask your own question if you expect to get an answer. if you tag your question on as an answer to a question that is a few month old, nobody knows that you asked a question. It is not hard to do. Anyhow, your symbol is the low coolant (antifreeze) Make sure the engine is cool before you open the cap and top-up the cooling system.
Check your system for leaky hoses, leaking radiator etc.
