Device shows default droid icon instead of app launcher icon - android

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.

Flutter doesn't update launcher icon

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

I hope this helped

Flutter Android application icon when app is minimized

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

Strange icon issue in Android Studio

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

FirePhone - launch icons not populating?

For some reason in the latest version of my App, the app loads and runs from IDEA, but the launch icon doesn't show up on the home screen or in the grid. Oddly, it was working fine in an earlier build, which is currently being sold on the Amazon Ap store and works as expected when downloaded, but the updated version isn't working. I've made a number of changes to my development environment and have tried resizing widgets and providing a widget in the default drawable folder, but its not making any difference.
Does anyone have a suggestion what to look at that might explain the behavior?
Well I haven't been able to find out exactly why this happened, but I was able to find a workaround.
The app I was working was a new revision of an App already published ot the Amazon App store. I purchased a copy of the app from the store just to check, so the original (V.1.0) app itself was showing up on my list of apps in the cloud. The new version I am working on (V.1.1) is the version on which the icons weren't showing up when I ran it from Android Studio.
The workaround that worked was to a) to delete the app from my cloud, and b) to change the Application attribute android:label to a different name. After I did that, the icon showed up again on my FirePhone. not sure which of these two changes did the trick, maybe both are not necessary, but in case anybody else is running into this problem...
There is a simple solution for this.
If you want your app to be compatible for both Android and Kindle you have to make the necessary icon adjustments for Kindle. Add the custom drawable folders to your project.
custom drawable "drawable-1024x600-v10" with ic_launcher.png for KindleFire 1 st Gen
custom drawable "drawable-1024x600-v15" with ic_launcher.png for KindleFire 2nd Gen
custom drawable "drawable-1280x800" with ic_launcher.png for KindleFire HD-7'
custom drawable "drawable-1920x1200" with ic_launcher.png for KindleFire HD-8.9'
Do not replace the drawable folders you currently have for Android, just add to them. Alternatively, you can replace your mdpi icon with 200x200 (will display blurry on some kindles such as the fireHDx) or 512x512 (for better results).

Applying custom icon to Android project

I have a problem with setting my icon to the project. I've created different images and placed them in appropriate folders (drawable
ldpi, mdpi and so on) and
set android:icon to my icon in AndroidManifest.xml.
But icons have changed everywhere except desktop .
Have any ideas why?
Working in Intellij IDEA
I got the same issue just now, but I found a trick to solve this problem:
you can just use the refactor function of intellij and rename the icon again. After renaming intellij will recognize this icon and now make the app again and it works for me!
And I noticed that my application has the correct icon on emulator but not on my android device, but it is because of the android system on the phone. If you see that you icon will be shown up on the emulator correctly then you don't need to get worried.
