  • You can SVG images, but you need a 3rd party (free) library. App icons can't be vectorial by definition. All the SVG libraries provide methods to read the xml from the SVG files and make a bitmap out of it. – Phantômaxx May 26 '14 at 13:57

From Android 5.0 (API level 21) you can use vector drawable in your app. You can use new Android Studio tool called: Vector Asset Studio. See link below for a complete explanation:

There is "svg-android" for svg files support for Android, but not native. I don't think you can use it as application icon.
