These are the steps I took to make an image transparent   1- I used an online website which makes the image transparent  there are a lot of them  For me  I use this https   www241 lunapic com editor  action transparent and sometimes this http   www online-image-editor com help transparency  2- In Android Studio  I m using version 3 1 3   open Image Asset from app   res  right click    New   Image Asset   3- In the Path  choose the location of the transparent image which you downloaded from the online website  and make the other options as shown  then Next  then Finish  The five different sizes of image mdpi 48  48   hdpi 72  72   xhdpi 96  96   xxhdpi 144  144   and xxxhdpi 192  192  will be created in the res mipmap-density folders     4- If you need sizes  dimensions  different from above  you can use this website http   nsimage brosteins com  to upload your PNG image of biggest size that will be used in xxxhdpi  After uploading  you can download a zip file containing the five different sizes of image in the res drawable-density folders

You have two ways   1  In Background Layer   Scaling  reduce the Resize to 1    and then in Legacy   Legacy Icon set Shape as None      2  in Background Layer   Scaling   Source Asset  you can set an image as a 1x1 pixel  or any size  transparent png image  you ve already created      and then in Legacy   Legacy Icon set Shape as None

To make background transparent  set shape as None  See the image below     EDIT   For Android Studio 3 0  you can set it from Legacy Tab

First  create a launcher icon  Adaptive and Legacy  from Image Asset   Select an image for background layer and resize it to 0  or 1  and In legacy tab set shape to none   Then  delete folder res mipmap ic laucher round in the project window and Open AndroidManifest xml and remove attribute android roundIcon   mipmap ic launcher round  from the application element   In the end  delete ic launcher xml from mipmap-anydpi-v26   Notice that  Some devices like Nexus 5X  Android 8 1  adding a white background automatically and can t do anything

the above approach didn t work for me on Android Studio 3 0   It still shows the background   I just made an empty background file   lt  xml version  1 0  encoding  utf-8   gt   lt vector android height  108dp  android width  108dp  android viewportHeight  108  android viewportWidth  108  xmlns android  http   schemas android com apk res android  gt   lt  vector gt    This worked except the full bleed layers

This is just another workaround     For the  Foreground Layer   select  Asset type  as text and delete the default text in the text field       For the  Background Layer   select  Asset type  as image and now choose the path of the image you want as an icon      And you are good to go

I m using Android Studio 3 0 1 and if the above answer doesn t work for you  try to change the icon type into Legacy and select Shape to None  the default one is Adaptive and Legacy     Note  Some device has installed a launcher with automatically adding white background in icon  that s normal

Using android 3 0 1 I noticed this weird behavior solution   First  in background layer in the source asset change the asset type from image to color and than change it back to image  second  enable trim in scaling and then resize it to a small percentage and it will work perfectly  PS  If u didn t do the first step the scaling wont take affect  and if anyone have an explanation for this please provide   steps

With  quot Asset Type quot  set to  quot Image quot   try setting the same image for the foreground and background layers  keeping the same  quot Resize quot  percentage
