Dynamic App Icon In Android

You’ve probably come across those apps that can pull off a neat trick — changing their app icon, perhaps on your birthday, and then seamlessly switching back to the regular one. It’s the kind of feature that piques your curiosity, making you wonder, ‘How on earth do they do that?’ Well, you’re not alone in your curiosity. Many developers, myself included, have pondered this. It seems like one of those seemingly impossible tasks, but guess what? It’s not! In this article, we’re going to unravel the mystery behind changing Android app icons at runtime. We’ll break it down for you, step by step, and show you that it’s not just doable, but also pretty manageable.
