android launcher

I have provided an update for my application via Android market. After new application installed from market, my app icon alone not changed to new app icon in Android Launcher screen.

However, if the mobile restarted once, the new icon reflected in Launcher screen too. It looks like my old app icon cached in Android Launcher.

What could be an issue? is that an bug with Android or am I missing something?

Please help.

Thanks in Advance.

The app in the app launcher (drawer) should be updated, but the shortcuts won't be updated until the next refresh of the homescreen. There isn't much you can do that unfortunately, but the homescreen does refresh itself once in a while, so the new icon will eventually replace the old icon automatically.
