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.

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

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

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

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

I Just put my view background  color code  as ClipArt og Image background  and it looks like transparent or no background where both have the same color as background

User · Answer

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

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
