New Image Asset Launcher Icon Loss of Transparency

I am trying to add a launcher icon for an app in Android Studio.

What I've done so far:

Gone to res folder right click and select new image asset

From there I find the png file which I would like to use as the app launcher icon.

This step is seen here: https://i.sstatic.net/QxYNr.png

As you can see, the source asset is displayed correctly, with no white background. But the 5 different icon types have a white background and lose their transparency.

I would like for the app icon to retain its transparency and not show a white background.
