@Rahul5758 I don't think this is a big change. I have only added a single line and we do have the round icon which was unused till now. Someone who has added the icon must have forgotten to define it in the manifest file. An excerpt from https://developer.android.com/about/versions/nougat/android-7.1.html#circular-icons :

apps should make sure to define both android:icon and android:roundIcon resources when responding to launcher intents

@abdulwd In your screenshot there are other apps too which do not have an round icon, so I don't think its necessary to specify a round icon.
