App icons are not accessible outside the launcher. At best, you might be able to hack something by turning activity aliases on and off and "changing" an app icon that way. That is, you might have an second app icon that serves as a kind of notification, for example, and you could turn it on/off, or run through a sequence of icon variations, with PackageManager calls to enable/disable the component names corresponding to the aliases. But there is no way to "borrow" the Launcher's app icon views and draw into them. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
