-Android 8 and later provide a way to have launch icons more flexible. To give device manufacturers more flexibility, Google split the icon into two layers: a background layer and a foreground later. Then the OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) provides a mask to make the icons look unique in their system. One maker may provide square icons, while another rounded corners or another circular icons. Using a combination of background, foreground and mask, there can be different looks for different devices, as well as allowing cool animation effects like parallax when dragging icon or tapping on it.
