Hi I just noticed the icons provided for app is shown properly in the launcher , but when it comes to the "Recent screen" I am able to see the android head(default) icon only. Is there a way to change this icon in Ionic framework like modifying config.xml? Help would be much appreciated.
This question answers for android native apps- How do I change the app icon in the 'Recents' Screen?
but I want a similar solution for Ionic (web apps)

This is my first question on StackOverflow, so please bear with me if I fail to articulate my question.
I am working on an Android app that targets Android O, and I want the launcher to NOT show the icon adapted i.e. remove the white background.
I tried to use adaptive icons and they work, but the problem is that they change the icon itself making it rouned, square, squircle and tear-shaped.
At first I thought it's out of my hands, but some other apps (facebook, whatsapp and snapchat for example) have their icons unchanged.
tl;dr: How can I force an icon to be used by the launcher on Android O?
The other apps you mention (Facebook, Whatsapp, and Snapchat) don't yet target Android O. Once they do, they'll also be forced to have an adaptive icon as well.
Just remove the targetSdkVersion property from your app level build.gradle file. It will work.

I am developing an app for both Android and iOS using Titanium. In iOS there is no default header in the app. The app take full screen. But in Android, there is a default app icon [titanium icon] and app name on each screen. I am using another header for my app so it is looking bad with the app.
Can anyone tell me how to hide the default one?
Thanks!

I found a badge on my Android device today and I'm wondering how they did this.
Look at the "Email" icon next to "Camera" and "Talk". How are they getting the number 2 on the corner of that icon?
Android doesn't support updating the app icon natively. I'm not familiar with TouchWiz, but I'm pretty sure Samsung didn't implement this either.
However you could create an AppWidget, that looks like an icon. This would give you the ability to dynamically update the icon.

Android doesnt provide a way to do this. It always references the same app launcher icon when you compile your project into an apk. There is no way to change this later on. A widget can be an alternative.
