Should i have different icon sizes for android app project

Should i maintain 4 or 5 sizes of each icon for ldpi, hdpi, mdpi, xdpi and xxdpi? One icon which is 48x48(any other size -hight resolution) is not enough for all different size? I have lot of icons. I feel my app size will be increased.

Please suggest me. Thanks

You should keep different versions, yes. In fact, if you work on Eclipse, you can hit Ctrl+N, go to the Android list, Android Icon Set, and then select Launcher Icon. It will create different resolutions of your icon, plus one for the Google Play website.

if you dont want android to automatically scale your image size ( which will look ugly because you will lose quality), you should have different icons for different screen sizes, for example mdi - 32x32, hdpi 48x48, xhdpi 64x64..
