How to change android icon in flutter?

Question

After running a flutter app, it gets correctly deployed to an Android Virtual Device.

While in the virtual device, I can notice that the icon chosen for the app shows up correctly among other existing apps.

But, when I tap to see running processes, an Android icon appears at the top of the flutter app window.

Icons were manually added as described here.

How can I change this default icon to use mine?

Answer 1

Check again your AndroidManifest.xml

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.snapio">

<application
    android:name="io.flutter.app.FlutterApplication"
    android:label="flutter"
    android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher">

You have to change your icon name inside this file.

Answer 2

one of my favorite library that you can use it will generate iOS and android icon for you https://pub.dev/packages/flutter_launcher_icons

Answer 3

For Android 10 you have to provide an adaptive icon for it to show up in the task switcher. More info here: https://developer.android.com/guide/practices/ui_guidelines/icon_design_adaptive

Answer 4

Change application icon in flutter from pubspec.yaml by setting the flutter_icons tag like this:

flutter_icons:
  android: "launcher_icon"
  ios: true
  image_path: "images/icon/icon.png" # your full path in assets directory

Add flutter_launcher_icons as dev dependency in pubspec.yaml

dev_dependencies:
  flutter_launcher_icons: "^0.9.2"

Finally update dependencies and generate the icons

flutter pub get
flutter pub run flutter_launcher_icons:main
