Hello there 👋

Was wondering if anyone could provide some insight on how we can customize the app launcher icon programmatically?

Let's say we allow the user to select from a list of icons in the app on so screen, or allow them to select a color in the app, and then we want to replace the default launcher for our app... Is there a way to do this?

Ive read online some different "hacks" but nothing full proof or intentionally supported by Google for this type of customization.

Any insights would be much appreciated 🙌

You cant do it dynamically but your list item is fixed then you have define activity-alias in manifest file equal to no of icon

if user open app and user select any icon then you can change launcher icon

getPackageManager().setComponentEnabledSetting(
        new ComponentName("com.package.abc", "com.package.abc.MainActivity-Red"), 
            PackageManager.COMPONENT_ENABLED_STATE_ENABLED, PackageManager.DONT_KILL_APP);

please follow this link for more details how can you do
