Android Launcher app icon not updated to new icon after market update

Tags:

I have provided an update for my application via Android market. After new application installed from market, my app icon alone has not changed to the new app icon in the Android Launcher screen.

However, if the mobile restarted once, the new icon is reflected in Launcher screen too. It looks like my old app icon cached in Android Launcher.

What could be an issue? Is that a bug with Android or am I missing something?

Where is my launcher icon Android?

See also. A Launcher icon is a graphic that represents your application on the device's Home screen and in the Launcher window. The user opens the Launcher by touching the icon at the bottom of the Home screen. The Launcher opens and exposes the icons for all of the installed applications.

The app in the app launcher (drawer) should be updated, but the shortcuts won't be updated until the next refresh of the homescreen. There isn't much you can do that unfortunately, but the homescreen does refresh itself once in a while, so the new icon will eventually replace the old icon automatically.
