The application image that is shown in the launcher is embedded inside of the APK itself. The expected file is in res/drawable-xhdpi/ouya_icon.png and the image size must be 732x412 for games or 412x412 for apps.
Game icon size is documented there but app icon size is not documented there.

The application image size is documented on that page, about halfway down in the Developing with the ODK section. The OUYA Launcher does not use the regular Android app icons. It uses the application image as described above. App icons are for use in the Android launcher, which I believe may not be available on the OUYA.
something relevant to this i was wondering was if the ouya supports an alpha layer for your icon, i would rather not have to have to fit it into a rectangle shape. being able to have uniquely shaped icons could make it look allot better in my opinion.
From another thread, it would appear that transparency is not supported in the Launcher. The highlight for the selected app is always rectangular anyway.
