I wanted to ask how to change the app icon of my app on a Galaxy S7 running on Android Nougat (see attached screenshot) to fill the whole icon space. Is there a way to do this?

EDIT: I think it's because these apps have square icons and mine is circular. Is there a way to make it square for Galaxy S7 Nougat devices and for all others round?

My app's icon and the icon of another App from Google Play

You can disable this by adding a meta-data element to your manifest:

<application>
    <meta-data android:name="com.samsung.android.icon_container.has_icon_container" android:value="true"/>
</application>
