Strictly speaking you can not change launcher icon at run time. However there are few workarounds available for this:
1. Activity alias:
Create multiple activity-alias tags in Manifest for your MAIN launcher activity and give a different icon drawable to it. You can then choose a particular activity-alias via your code as per your requirement.
2. Install/Uninstall Shortcuts: This approach won't change the your app's icon however you can update (read re-install) your app's shortcut-icon.
Hope this helps.
