The file manager named "File manager" does this for example. If I browse to the dir with my movies, they will be displayed with the Gallery icon as they open with that app by default. But when I install a new movie player, the icon will change to that of the player. So how would I go about retrieving the icon associated to each file (the application it opens with)?

I guess you could (untested);

Take all installed applications (using PackageManager):

Take an icon for a specific application:

Hope it helps.
