Android icon duplicate when changed

[kouloughli-hemza]

I noticed on Android that when we change the icon it creates new icon on home screen instead of updating the old one,
so each time we change icon it adds new one,
is this a know bug or it's an issue on my end?

It appears if you change the icon and then close the app, the icon will change just fine. It seems like the icon is applied once the app loses focus. I've found that if you change the icon multiple times in one app cycle it will cause duplicates to appear.

Other apps with dynamic icons seem to restart immediately after changing the icon, which in this case would fix the issue...

you can try the new version to fix issue of duplicate icon on android
the idea was to schedule icon change, and i only change the icon once the app in really in background.
