For HDPI, XHDPI, etc. what should be the ideal size of the launcher icon? Should I have to create 9-Patch images for the icon to scale automatically, or would it be better to create separate icons?

Android Icon Sizes – App Launcher Quick answer: 48 px, 72 px, 96 px, 144 px, 192 px & 512 px (for Google Play Store).
Go to the Home screen and long-press anywhere in the blank area. You'll see menu icons appear at the bottom of the screen. Select the Settings icon on the lower right. In the Home screen settings window, there are two options to adjust icon sizes.
Launcher icons on a mobile device must be 48×48 dp. Launcher icons for display on Google Play must be 512×512 pixels.
I would create separate images for each one:
LDPI should be 36 x 36. MDPI should be 48 x 48. TVDPI should be 64 x 64. HDPI should be 72 x 72. XHDPI should be 96 x 96. XXHDPI should be 144 x 144. XXXHDPI should be 192 x 192. Then just put each of them in the separate stalks of the drawable folder.
You are also required to give a large version of your icon when uploading your app onto the Google Play Store and this should be WEB 512 x 512. This is so large so that Google can rescale it to any size in order to advertise your app throughout the Google Play Store and not add pixelation to your logo.
Basically, all of the other icons should be in proportion to the 'baseline' icon, MDPI at 48 x 48.
LDPI is MDPI x 0.75. TVDPI is MDPI x 1.33. HDPI is MDPI x 1.5. XHDPI is MDPI x 2. XXHDPI is MDPI x 3. XXXHDPI is MDPI x 4. This is all explained on the Iconography page of the Android Developers website: http://developer.android.com/design/style/iconography.html
