Remove ic_launcher_foreground.xml from drawable-v24 folder

`.xml` or `.png`? – Md. Asaduzzaman Jan 13 '20 at 09:58
its xml – Richa Jan 13 '20 at 09:59
Remove all the icon like above. In my case it's in `drawable-v24` – Md. Asaduzzaman Jan 13 '20 at 10:02
Probably you need clean build, try it – Md. Asaduzzaman Jan 13 '20 at 10:13
i did it, but what i came to know, somehow foreground xml is not working. if i remove that line its showing proper bg as soon as i try to put foreground, it is showing android default icon. – Richa Jan 13 '20 at 10:58

From Android Nougat, default launcher icon should be roundIcon. See this Reference

You have to add it in your AndroidManifest for your application tag

 android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
 android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
