How to resolve Manifest merger failed in Android Studio?

Question

First Sorry about my English. But i try to understand my issue. I import my eclipse project to android studio and after sync the Gradle, its show me this error

Error:Execution failed for task ':eWatheqOCRLib:processDebugAndroidTestManifest'.> java.lang.RuntimeException: Manifest merger failed : Attribute application@icon value=(@drawable/ic_launcher) from [debug] AndroidManifest.xml:46:9-45
    is also present at [Graddle Build ewatheq:eWatheqEyesTwoLib:unspecified] AndroidManifest.xml:32:18-55 value=(@drawable/service_icon).
    Suggestion: add 'tools:replace="android:icon"' to <application> element at manifestMerger6194683839773316547.xml:7:5-9:19 to override.

I google a lot and try many things to fix using these stacks over flow. Android studio Gradle icon error, Manifest Merger https://github.com/coomar2841/image-chooser-library/issues/63 https://github.com/pedant/sweet-alert-dialog/issues/33

You have a manifest merger conflict in your module, not in your main project.

From the error logs, the conflict occurs in the eWatheqOCRLib module, when what looks like a manifest in ewatheq:eWatheqEyesTwoLib conflicts with the icon element in the eWatheqOCRLib manifest.

Add the line:

tools:replace="android:icon"

to the manifest in your eWatheqOCRLib module and that should resolve this error.

After put tools:replace="android:icon" in ewatheOCRLib and remove tool:replace= "android:icon" from main project Log show this error. Error:Execution failed for task ':eWatheq.external:mergeDebugResources'. > Some file crunching failed, see logs for details – user3283148 Dec 27 '15 at 05:37
do you replace the icon in the main project? If so, you will need it there also. But that sounds like a different problem - maybe related to your gradle plugin version – Jim Dec 27 '15 at 18:43
i resolve above error but after clean, build restart android studio these errors i am facing. please help me AAPT err(Facade for 1306681976):C:\Users\Khan\Downloads\Work\eWatheq.external\res\drawable-xxhdpi\splash_screen.png: libpng warning: iCCP: Not recognizing known sRGB profile that has been edited FAILURE: Build failed with an exception. * What went wrong: Execution failed for task':eWatheq.external:mergeDebugResources'. > Some file crunching failed, see logs for details * Try: Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output. – user3283148 Dec 30 '15 at 12:39
That's a different issue - you probably need to use a different version of the gradle plugin (I'm using 1.2.3 because I had a similar problem). You may also have an invalid PNG which Eclipse did not notice (I had that problem too). You will want to post this as a separate question, but please mark this answer as correct when you get a chance. – Jim Dec 30 '15 at 15:49
