app icon size?
and which format?
The specs of the icon can be
- In PNG/JPEG/jpg/gif (not animated)
- Any size (recommended below 512x512)
What pixel density do you need in order for it to be sharp in any device the app is installed on?
Size, 512x512 px
Format i am using PNG
The new Google Play app icon specifications:
The link have nothing to do with app icon for apps.
The new square format is only for app icons at play store and not the app itself.
Yes, but I thought we were talking about it.
Or is this about:

It was about the icon size of 512x512 px, this can not mean the launcher icon.
Android Asset Studio - Launcher icon generator - GitHub Pages

I will recommend Android Asset Studio for rounded icons.
It can make any image to rounded icon which look very attractive.
Be aware that Android 8.0 (API level 26) introduces adaptive launcher icons.
In Android 7.1 (API level 25) and earlier, launcher icons were sized at 48 x 48 dp. You must now size your icon layers using the following guidelines:
- Both layers must be sized at 108 x 108 dp.
- The inner 72 x 72 dp of the icon appears in the masked viewport.
- The system reserves the outer 18 dp on each of the 4 pages to create interesting visual effects, such as parallax or pulsing.
