I am using a trasparent icon for my application. On Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 with ICS 4.0.4
the problem is android adds a "shadow" when i'm in the application menu, see img:
However on the frontpage of the launcher it shows ok, see img:
It doesn't show in the emulator, but for example google currents app shows ok in both places with no shadow, so what am i doing wrong ? I looked at the logo of google currents a 72x72pixel 72dpi and 32bit trasparent png, did the same thing with Gimp, didn't work

I've added an icon to my app via the built-in Image Asset Studio in Android Studio.
Made a png foreground and then color as a background.
On a Samsung device, the icon renders perfectly.
Then when I install the app on a Huawei P20 with android 10. The icon is rendered like this:
I think the Huawei UI isn't using the adaptive icon, but uses the legacy icon and adjusts it into its custom app shape UI and therefore zooms in.
Are there some extra steps I need to do for having a good rendering app icon?
Thanks.
Have you tried Adaptive Icons?
Instead of using a single image use the combination of 2 images for Foreground and background.
You can take the idea from android's default app icon, it's also adaptive.
I had the same problem with Huawei P20 Lite (Android 8.0.0) when I tried to install an app from Android studio.
There's nothing we can do to fix it.
But the icon will look like it should after a reboot.
Also, if you'll build a release version of your app and install it via adb install the icon will look like you expect.
I'm working with android application to publish Google play store. as I know the lollipop and above versions of android support only white colord icons. when I use a multicolour icon with the inbuilt emulator of android studio, it shows white . but when I use that apk in a Samsung, huawei, asus or htc device it shows multicolour status bar icon correctly. my problem is why it is happening and how can I filter multicolour icon working devices and not working devices?
link to some example screenshots added in the first comment.

I'm testing on Android 4.4 (on a Motorola Moto E) and Android 5.0 (on a Huawei P8 GRA-L09).
Notifications look the same on both in the status bar. When opened, they look different (I don't have enough reputation to post images):
4.4 displays a larger (scaled?) variant of the small icon.
5.0 displays the launcher icon. It does not even display the small icon as a secondary icon.
I need to display several different notifications and it is not sufficient to see what app they come from.
If I set the large icon (at least in 4.4) the small icon is displayed as a secondary icon, which is useless.
How can I make 5.0 display the small icon as the primary icon?
This must be a bug in the Huawei P8, as the Motorola Moto E does display the icon as expected in Android 5.1 as well. So, to answer the question: There is nothing to do.
Hi i have a problem with my app icon. The icon is displayed correctly on the actionBar of the Emulator but for some reasons it doesn't display normally on my device. Unfortunately I don't have another device models for testing.
Screenshots are attched below
To change the app icon I just changed the drawable on the manifest, is this correct ?
<activity
android:name="--ActivityName--"
android:icon="#drawable/navbarlogo"/>
EDIT:
I tried the app on different android version (Emulator). the result is good but not on the physical phone.
Can it be related to the ROM ? On the phone I have the MIUI ROM.
Checkout the size of your icon image. It should be small in size.
I was checking this blog http://mathiasbynens.be/notes/touch-icons and it worked fine for iPhone , but for Android I get a weird Icon on home screen.
Snapshot of Page I was viewing and in the bottom left a tiny touch icon that I added in headers.
Why is this so Is it possible to get it like a touch icon in my android device(2.2) as well ?
This favicon compatibility test indicates the following regarding Android:
Samsung Galaxy S (Android 2.3.3): the default browser takes the 16x16 PNG icon (so not the Apple Touch icon) and adds some decoration around it. Although correct, this is not the expected behavior.
HTC Desire (Android 2.2.2): the default browser takes the 57x57 Apple Touch icon, which is correct.
Nexus 7 (Android 4.4):
Chrome takes the 152x152 Apple Touch icon, which is correct.
Firefox takes the 196x196 PNG picture, which is a bit surprising but correct, too.
In the end, you might observe some unexpected behaviors on old Android devices.
In order to maximize compatibility and avoid playing with Photoshop&friends, HTML code and devices, you can try this favicon generator. Some extensive testing has been performed already. Full disclosure: I am the author of this site.
