If your icon is transparent background and you would like to keep it while creating a new icon using Android Eclipse, clicking Shape None will do the trick.

Once you actually create your image, you can set the background to transparent using

@android:color/transparent

Eclipse isn't an image editing program. If it has some basic functionality built in for that, I wouldn't recommend using it for design. If you have Photoshop, or can download GIMP, use those instead for icon design.

Also, be sure to save them as PNG and not JPG, as JPG does not support transparency.
