My question is:
When creating an app icon, something called Full Bleed Layers
is created as well and I don't know where this icon will be in use.
Full bleed layers = the base adaptive icon, which is being masked (it is only being shown masked). The link in the SDK documentation is broken: see Designing Adaptive Icons. Follow this answer to receive notifications.
The benefits of this is it offers a more unified home screen for Android users as all of the app icons will take the masked shape. The downside for not implementing adaptive icons is your application will stick out and its icon will look unprofessional on newer devices, compared to the other icons.
xml , create alternative drawable resources in your app for backward-compatibility with Android 8.0 (API level 26). You can then use the <adaptive-icon> element to define the foreground, background, and monochromatic layer drawables for your icons.
