Android icon dimensions

I am using a .png image for the icon of my Android app. The problem is the image dimensions (aspect ratio) is not preserved when displaying the icon. For example the circle image is distorted to an oval shape when set as the app icon.

You're probably referring to the launcher icon, right? According to Making Beautiful Android App Icons, the launcher icon should be square. I had a launcher icon that was not square, and it got stretched (distorted) into a square in the launcher on some devices. The solution I found was to add more (transparent) area on the sides to make it square.
