Go into your AndroidManifest.xml file

Click on the Application Tab
Find the Text Box Labelled "Icon"
Then click the "Browse" button at the end of the text box
Click the Button Labelled: "Create New Icon..."
Create your icon
Click Finish
Click "Yes to All" if you already have the icon set to something else.

Enjoy using a gui rather then messing with an image editor! Hope this helps!

Worth mentioning that you need to open the `AndroidManifest.xml` by Android Manifest Editor - by right click on the file in Package Explorer. – Deqing Sep 24 '13 at 08:53
Note: Have to do a clean before you build after changing the icon. – Reaz Murshed Jan 19 '15 at 06:52

In your AndroidManifest.xml file

<application
        android:name="ApplicationClass"
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"  <--------
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >

Look for this on your Manifest.xml android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher" then change the ic_launcher to the name of your icon which is on your @drawable folder.

Rob R.'s answer was definitely the way to go. I tried copying the ic_launcher.png files from another project and Eclipse still wouldn't read them. Going through the manifest is much quicker and easier.
