You also need to use android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
When a launcher requests an app icon, the framework returns either android:icon or android:roundIcon, depending on the device build configuration. Because of this, apps should make sure to define both android:icon and android:roundIcon resources when responding to launcher intents.
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
android:supportsRtl="true"
android:theme="@style/AppTheme">

Apps can now define circular launcher icons - But I don't want a circular icon! – stevenpcurtis Jul 02 '18 at 10:04

1@stevenpcurtis but users want that. Your icon will look bad among other circular icons when a user switches launcher icons in round mode. You will hurt only your UX by trying to workaround round icons. – 3mpty Jul 02 '18 at 10:14
