For ordinary users, the home screen icon / launcher icon (simply referred to as the application icon) is the impression left by an application. As the resolution of phones and tablets evolves, it becomes more and more important to make your application's home screen icons clearer and of higher quality. To do this, you need to make sure that you have done XHDPI (320dpi) and XXHDPI (480dpi) resolution versions of the icon placement application.

Android Application Icon Specification

When you plan to make your own home screen icons, in addition to the ready-made home screen icon rules, be sure to follow the following equally important guidelines:

The initiator icon is a square the size of 48dp, and you need to provide the resolution size of MDPI, HDPI, XHDPI, XXHDPI-at least XHDPI and XXHDPI

Except for some minor details, 512px-sized Play Store display icons should be consistent with the application icons

The launcher icon needs to be designed as a pure Android style. As mentioned in Pure Android, avoid imitating the visual effects and styles of other platforms.

The starter icon should be a three-dimensional front view and should be tilted down at a certain angle so that the user can feel the presence of "depth / thickness".

The home screen icon should also have a unique and distinct outline, which also means that you need to avoid simple squares or circles and choose unique shapes. (translation note: fourth dimensional and Fubo and Google's own Google+, Search and other applications have actually failed to do this)

At the macro level, the home screen icon should be measured simply and clearly. However, at the micro level, rich details (such as meticulous edge effects and reasonable gradients and textures) can not be abandoned.

The home screen icon should use lightweight background protection such as a subtle slight projection, but don't be too dark or noisy.

The home screen icon should contain a margin from 0dp to 3dp, using different margins to achieve optical calibration and normalize the visual weight of the icon.

In particular, it is important to note that tablets and other large screen devices require a larger icon resolution than their own resolution, so you need to provide a high-resolution version of the application icon as much as possible. For example, for a tablet with a XHDPI screen, the home screen icon needs to have a XXHDPI resolution.
