Integration #

  1. Add the latest version of the plugin to your pubpsec.yaml under dependencies section

  2. Run flutter pub get

  3. Add your all icons on android/src/main/res/drawable folder

  4. For having multiple app icon in your app you should note following:

    • For each icon, you must declare an activity-alias in AndroidManifest.xml (see example in point 5)
    • For each icon you add, make a ExampleIcon.kt file below MainActivity.kt file (see example in point 6)
  5. Update android/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml as follows:

    <application...>
       
         <activity
             android:name=".MainActivity"
             android:exported="true"
             android:launchMode="singleTop"
             android:theme="@style/LaunchTheme"
     	android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden|keyboard|screenSize|smallestScreenSize|locale|layoutDirection|fontScale|screenLayout|density|uiMode"
             android:hardwareAccelerated="true"
             android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize">
             <meta-data
               android:name="io.flutter.embedding.android.NormalTheme"
               android:resource="@style/NormalTheme"
               />
    		<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN"/>
    	    <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER"/>
             </intent-filter>
         </activity>
    		
    	<!--name activity alias for icons you want to use-->
    	
         <activity-alias
             android:label="app"
             android:icon="@drawable/iconone"
             android:name=".IconOne"
            android:enabled="false"
             android:exported="true"
             android:targetActivity=".MainActivity"> <!--target activity class path will be same for all alias-->
             <intent-filter>
                 <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
                 <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
             </intent-filter>
         </activity-alias>
         <activity-alias
             android:label="app"
             android:icon="@drawable/icontwo"
             android:name=".IconTwo"
            android:enabled="false"
             android:exported="true"
             android:targetActivity=".MainActivity"> <!--target activity class path will be same for all alias-->
             <intent-filter>
                 <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
                 <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
             </intent-filter>
         </activity-alias>
     </application>
    
  6. Add IconOne.kt and IconTwo.kt below MainActivity.kt as follows:

    package com.example.android_dynamic_icon
    
    import io.flutter.embedding.android.FlutterActivity
    
    class IconOne: FlutterActivity() {
    }
    
    package com.example.android_dynamic_icon
    
    import io.flutter.embedding.android.FlutterActivity
    
    class IconTwo: FlutterActivity() {
    }
    

Dart/Flutter Integration #

From your Dart code, you need to import the plugin and use it's methods:

  1. First Initiliaze the plugin by all classes you made Including MainActivity as it is responsible for Default icon.
    import 'package:android_dynamic_icon/android_dynamic_icon.dart';

    final _androidDynamicIconPlugin = AndroidDynamicIcon();

    @override
    void initState() {
        AndroidDynamicIcon.initialize(
            classNames: ['MainActivity', 'IconOne', 'IconTwo']);
        super.initState();
    }
  1. Now set different icons using change icon method.
    //To set Icon One
    await _androidDynamicIconPlugin
            .changeIcon(classNames: ['IconOne', '']);

    //To set Icon Two
    await _androidDynamicIconPlugin
            .changeIcon(classNames: ['IconOne', '']);

    //To set Default Icon
    await _androidDynamicIconPlugin
            .changeIcon(classNames: ['MainActivity', '']);
