Unreal and Android v26 - Icon issue on Pixel XL

Recently I got a warning on google play deploy saying I’d need to update to v26 soon. After updating my App icon have circles around them on my Pixel XL. This apparently is because I don’t have “adaptive icons”. How can I fix this?

But after packaging it still gives default unreal icon.

my icon file name is myhexicon

I also tried deleting default drawable folders from build but it still picks them from Intermediate/Android

Look in the above image.

Edit: Then I tried this approach

Unreal Engine

Adding Adaptive Icons to a UE4 project for Android

We walk you through the process of setting up adaptive icons, which can display a variety of different icon shapes across different device models.

During packaging

this line gives error as there is no file of name “icon_bg”

So I changed it to simply “icon” in xml

Now I did got the adaptive icon But instead of my icon I got default app icon from android studio.
