Android Logo too smal

I recognized that the launcher icon for one of my app is too small. The device is a samsung nexus galaxy, so it should use the drawables from the mdpi folder.

I want the icon size to be 72 x 72 pixels. Actually the icon looks like small or xtra small, it is definitely smaller than all launch icons on this phone. I remember I've put lots of standard sized icons into each drawable folder. At this moment ALL folders contain the same Icon of 72 x 72 pixles (inside of bin/res/... AND the root res/... so it is improbable a bug of eclipse or the A SDK.

I deinstalled the Application, I created a new project, I switched computers, this icon is still too smal and I have no clue why.

There is nothing of interest in my manifest, that could cause this, I think.

 <uses-sdk
        android:minSdkVersion="8"
        android:targetSdkVersion="15" />

Can you help me?

Here are the App icon dimensions: 

ldpi = 36*36 pixels
mdpi = 48*48 pixels
hdpi = 72*72 pixels
x-hdpi = 96*96 pixels
xx-hdpi = 144*144 pixels

The Glaxy nexus is an XHDPI phone for sure, so putting a 72x72 icon size in drawable-xhdpi isn't right as it doesn't respects the Icon Design Guidelines.You should put an 96x96 icon size in drawable-xhdpi

Are you sure that your device is mdpi? Without checking, most newish devices are at least hdpi. As Geoff said, though, the size of 75 x 75 isn't right. Check here and make sure you've got all the correct sizes:

No launcher icons should be 75x75.

Refer to the Android documentation to see what you should be using for launcher icon sizes. 

ldpi:  36x36px
mdpi:  48x48px
hdpi:  72x72px
xhdpi: 96x96px
