I am trying to change the app icon in my app in Android Studio. I replaced all ic_launcher and ic_launcher_round images in all their respective folders. The icon changed in the app menu, however, when I press the square button in my phone (the one to clean cache and remove all applications) it still appears the default icon.
Link to an example picture
I don't know where else that icon may be inside my project. Any suggestions?
i did the same and it's work on React native project, try to clean , rebuild and check your AndroidManifest.xml
android:icon="#mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:roundIcon="#mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
I suggest to change launcher icon using asset studio in Android Studio. You have information how to do it here in official documentation. Also it's good to use vector image and add it through Asset studio.
Also, be aware that after adding new icon, launcher on Your phone could have it cashed, so restart Launcher app or You phone (depends on what launcher You use, for example Nova Launcher have restart option in settings).
When designing icon stick to official guidelines to make Your icon adaptive.

I created a new icon for my app and I used flutter launcher icons for generate the launcher icon.
In the midmap folders there is the ic_launcher.png and if I open it is my new launcher icon.
But if I install the app via android studio on my phone it shows the old icon.
It happened to me even when I created the first icon.
It went all well but the app had the default flutter icon.
It started to show the new one when I changed the app name but now I cannot change it again.
I already tried with the flutter-launcher-icons widget, to use flutter clean, ecc... but it doesn't change.
Why there is this problem? And where the app takes the old logo information?
UPDATE
I discovered a workaround for this problem.
If I delete all generated files (even the ones that looks right) and then I regenerate them when I install the app on the phone the icon looks right.
There will be 5 different mipmap files within android/app/src/res/main folder. Each mipmap consists icon launcher of different dimensions and pixels. Make sure you have replaced all 5 icon launchers with your generated Icon Launcher.
You can Generate Icon Launcher from here.
I see this issue still hasn't been resolved. I did find a workaround when I ran into the same problem. Just add
adaptive_icon_foreground: 'assets\logo.png'
adaptive_icon_background: '#000000'
in your pubspec.yaml under flutter_icons: where you can mention any suitable background color in hex for adaptive_icon_background.
I've had a similar problem, where the app icon would always be the androids default one. The way I fixed this, was by looking at the following Github thread: https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/59305
I noticed, that there was an error in my AndroidManifest.xml, where the android:icon="#mipmap/launcher_icon" was not inside the application-tag. After placing the ">" after android:icon="#mipmap/launcher_icon", it worked for me.
How it looked:
Not working
How it should look:
Working
I hope this helped
I've been trying to find a way to change that icon by many ways but that didn't work - I still get this white android on the blue background.
I tried:
using Android Assets Studio where I configured all assets (app icon and everything else looks good except that minimized icon)
changing AndroidManifest.xml icon and round icons
using flutter_launcher_icons plugin
And everything is without luck. How can I manually change that specific minimized icon?
Apparently, this is only an issue when working in the debugging mode on an emulator. I've tried the same application on the physical mobile device and it had the correct image up there. Perhaps, it's a Flutter bug.
that is regular ic_launcher.png the one under "round" that is selected in picture above.
When using flutter_launcher_icons package, try giving your new icon set a new config name like 'new_launch' and providing image_path and adaptive_icon_background for android.
Running flutter pub run flutter_launcher_icons:main in terminal got my icon in the minimized screen as well.
Here's an example
I changed the launcher icon file and it's name(from ic_logo to ic_launcher) and made respective changes in the Manifest.
Some devices(Moto-G, Moto Razor) which updated the app since then see the default droid icon instead of the actual ic_launcher icon.
The same devices would see the proper launcher icon if the app is uninstalled and reinstalled, instead of just updating.
It shouldn't be a problem with the folders the icon is placed in. Because it works fine on most of the devices and after uninstall and reinstall on the above mentioned devices. Just for reference:
Anything I can do to make it work in the next update(without uninstalling)?
Clean your project once and then try
For Application Icon, try to put them in #mipmap directory. That's what Google recommends and sometimes stupid bugs happen when you don't follow the guidelines.

mipmap drawables for icons
So, I have developed the first build of my own android flashlight application and I want to distribute it, but the problem is following;
I have created appropriate icon for the application and they all are scaled in the right way too using romannurik.github.io, the icons have been placed, I assume, in the correct way - I browsed to the project directory and replaced all sample icons (stock icons) with my own icons. Now, I have tried rebuilding and cleaning the project, yet nothing helps it.
In Android Studio, under mipmap folder, all icons are located, here is how the folder including pictures looks like
And by clicking on those .png's, I see the icon the application should have, but after I launch it on my phone, it still has the stock icon. Even setting build type to release, it still does the same. I also tried to relaunch the Android Studio and still nothing does it.
Some help? Thanks!
The icon is setted in the AndroidManifest.
<application
android:icon="#mipmap/ic_launcher"
Are you sure that you do not have this?
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"
UPDATE
As you can see from the comments on this post, the user has a malformerd AndroidManifest screenshot manifest
There is a nested application tag with ther android icon property.
You should set application icon in your manifest
I released one version of my application. For this version I had an image for launcher icon. For next version (update), I replaced this icon with other image.
My problem is when I update last version with new one, new launcher icon doesn't display and old one is still displaying.
However, if I clear data before uninstall and after that uninstall then by installing new version I can see new launcher image. The problem is I cannot ask all customers one by one please clear data and then uninstall before updating to new version.
What is the solution?
I have changed launcher icons for my apps several times, and have no problems with it (user base is few millions users). You have nothing to do in your source code, just replace your .png file in res folder and rebuild your project.
Note: if you are building final .apk using some IDE (Eclipse, IntelliJ IDEA, etc.) do not forget to refresh and make a full clean of your project before building it.
Please check you have mention the icon in the manifest
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme" >
</application>
I have the same issue when i was not added the icon in the application tag. but it got resolve after add the icon in the application tag
It should be as easy as replacing the image, but sometimes it doesn't work on eclipse. I solved it just deleting the old icon launcher (all versions mdpi,hdpi...) and then pasting the new ones with a different name.
Maybe it is not your case, but it was my case, and it could be for another one.
