Replace

android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher

with

android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"

That is, your manifest should look like

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
              package="com.org.yourpackage" >
    <application
     android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
        <activity
            android:name=".YourStartingActivity"
            android:label="@string/app_name" >
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>

    </application>

</manifest>

UPDATE

Try,

Go to File > Invalidate Caches / Restart and Invalidate and Restart

in Android Studio.

Look in the mipmap folder and see if the launcher icon is in there for the right resolution you are using . You can change it to "@/ic_launcher" where the folder is where your icon is.

The mipmap folders are for placing your app icons in only. Any other drawable assets you use should be placed in the relevant drawable folders as before.

According to this Google blogpost:

It’s best practice to place your launcher icons in mipmap- folders (not the drawable- folders) because they are used at resolutions different from the device’s current density. When referencing the mipmap- folders ensure you are using the following reference:

android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"

Add your launcher icons to mip map folder
