Android app icon missing in recents but present everywhere else

Question

Like the title says, the app's icon is present in the launcher, in the settings app, and in App Info, but missing in the recent apps screen where it shows up like this instead:

Any ideas on what could be causing this?

Answer 1

It's stupid -- but restarting the emulator fixes it. If your app icon is showing up everywhere else then it's not a problem with your app so don't worry about it.
