Android Icon Generator - App, Adaptive and PWA Icons, Free

How to make Android icons

Add your logo. Drop a square PNG, SVG or other image of at least 512 px. It stays on your device.
Pick what you are building. Website / PWA for a site people can install, Android app for a launcher icon, or Notification icons.
Check the shapes. The preview cuts your icon into the masks different phones use. Add padding if the logo gets clipped.
Download the ZIP. Press Make my Android icons. PWA files go in the root of your site; the res/ folders drop straight into an Android Studio project.

Making the browser favicon too? The Favicon Generator builds the full set.

Three kinds of Android icons

Website / PWA - when someone installs your site from Chrome, Android uses the icons listed in site.webmanifest: 192 and 512 px, plus a maskable icon that fills any shape.
Android app - launcher icons live in mipmap folders, one per screen density. Android 8+ uses adaptive icons: a foreground layer over a background colour.
Notification icons - small white silhouettes for the status bar. Colour is ignored, only the shape counts.

Densities and sizes

Folder	Launcher	Adaptive layer	Notification
mdpi	48 px	108 px	24 px
hdpi	72 px	162 px	36 px
xhdpi	96 px	216 px	48 px
xxhdpi	144 px	324 px	72 px
xxxhdpi	192 px	432 px	96 px

The Play Store icon is a separate 512 x 512 px PNG with a solid background - Google rounds it itself.

Maskable icons and the safe zone

Android phones cut icons into circles, squircles, rounded squares or teardrops. A maskable icon fills the whole square with colour and keeps the logo inside the middle 80% (the safe zone), so nothing important is cut off.

The preview shows your icon in all four shapes. Adaptive app icons work the same way: the foreground keeps your logo in the centre 66 dp of 108 dp.

How to use the files

Website: upload the PNGs and site.webmanifest to your site root and paste android-html.txt into the <head>. Then test with the Favicon Checker.
Android app: copy the res/ folder into app/src/main/ of your project. The launcher is set by android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher" and android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round" in AndroidManifest.xml.
Notifications: use R.drawable.ic_stat_notify as the small icon.
