It s better to do this through Android Studio rather than the file browser as it updates all icon files with the correct resolution for each  To do so go to menu File   New   Image Asset  This will open a new dialogue and then make sure Launcher Icons is selected  Which it is by default  and then browse to the directory of your icon  it doesn t have to be in the project resources  and then once selected make sure other settings are to your liking and hit done  Now all resolutions are saved into their respective folders  and you don t have to worry about copying it yourself or using tools  etc   Don t forget  quot Shape - none quot  for a transparent background  Please don t edit my answer without asking

Define the icon for android application   lt application android icon  drawable resource  gt         lt  application gt     https   developer android com guide topics manifest application-element html    If your app available across large range of devices     You should create separate icons for all generalized screen densities    including low-  medium-  high-  and extra-high-density screens  This   ensures that your icons will display properly across the range of   devices on which your application can be installed          Size  amp  Format     Launcher icons should be 32-bit PNGs with an alpha channel for   transparency  The finished launcher icon dimensions corresponding to a   given generalized screen density are shown in the table below        Place icon in mipmap or drawable folder  android icon   drawable icon name  or android icon   mipmap icon name   developer android com guide says      This attribute must be set as a reference to a drawable resource   containing the image  for example   drawable icon      about launcher icons android-developers googleblog com says      It   s best practice to place your app icons in mipmap- folders  not the   drawable- folders  because they are used at resolutions different from   the device   s current density  For example  an xxxhdpi app icon can be   used on the launcher for an xxhdpi device    Dianne Hackborn from Google  Android Framework  says      If you are building different versions of your app for different   densities  you should know about the  mipmap  resource directory     This is exactly like  drawable  resources  except it does not   participate in density stripping when creating the different apk   targets    For launcher icons  the AndroidManifest xml file must reference the mipmap  location   lt application android name  ApplicationTitle           android label   string app label           android icon   mipmap ic launcher   gt    Little bit more quoting this   You want to load an image for your device density and you are going to use it  as is   without changing its actual size  In this case you should work with drawables and Android will give you the best fitting image  You want to load an image for your device density  but this image is going to be scaled up or down  For instance this is needed when you want to show a bigger launcher icon  or you have an animation  which increases image s size  In such cases  to ensure best image quality  you should put your image into mipmap folder  What Android will do is  it will try to pick up the image from a higher density bucket instead of scaling it up  This will increase sharpness  quality  of the image    Fore more you can read mipmap vs drawable folders    Tools to easily generate assets   Android Asset Studio by romannurik github  Android Asset Studio by jgilfelt github Image Asset Studio from Android Studio  Material Icon Generator bitdroid de Android Material Design Icon Generator Plugin by github com konifar  A script to generate android assets from a SVG file   Read more    https   developer android com guide practices ui guidelines icon design launcher html

If you intend on your application being available on a large range of devices  you should place your application icon into the different res drawable    folders provided  In each of these folders  you should include a 48dp sized icon    drawable-ldpi  120 dpi  Low density screen  - 36px x 36px drawable-mdpi  160 dpi  Medium density screen  - 48px x 48px drawable-hdpi  240 dpi  High density screen  - 72px x 72px drawable-xhdpi  320 dpi  Extra-high density screen  - 96px x 96px drawable-xxhdpi  480 dpi  Extra-extra-high density screen  - 144px x 144px drawable-xxxhdpi  640 dpi  Extra-extra-extra-high density screen  - 192px x 192px   You may then define the icon in your AndroidManifest xml file as such    lt application android icon   drawable icon name  android label   string app name   gt         lt  application gt
