Flutter Android application icon when app is minimized

Question

I've been trying to find a way to change that icon by many ways but that didn't work - I still get this white android on the blue background.

I tried:

• using Android Assets Studio where I configured all assets (app icon and everything else looks good except that minimized icon)
• changing AndroidManifest.xml icon and round icons
• using flutter_launcher_icons plugin

And everything is without luck. How can I manually change that specific minimized icon?

Solution

Apparently, this is only an issue when working in the debugging mode on an emulator. I've tried the same application on the physical mobile device and it had the correct image up there. Perhaps, it's a Flutter bug.

But even though I have that ic_launcher_round.png, it still shows the 'default' Android one.

yap it takes ic_launcher and makes it round.

I assume you didn't understand my question. My question was WHY does the app show a default android round icon even though I've set up my own, custom icon. You said that ic_launcher should be displayed but it's not displaying my ic_launcher.

as I described below, it's only a problem for the debug mode not the release.

I thought the same and almost gave up but finally after clearing the app cache and app storage on the emulated device and rebuilding it worked for me.
