According to android icon design guidelines ( here  , see table #1), developer needs to provide status bar icons of next sizes: Status Bar  24 x 24 px (LDPI)  32 x 32 px (MDPI)  48 x 48 px (HDPI)   While my measurements show that status bar always has 25 dp in height and expects icons of 25x25dp. This translates to these sizes: Status Bar  19 x 19 px (LDPI) 25 x 25 px (MDPI)  38 x 38 px (HDPI)   Here is how I get those size: 25dp * 0.75 = 18.75 => 19px (LDPI) 25dp *  1   = 25    => 25px (MDPI) 25dp *  1.5 = 37.5  => 38px (HDPI)   I have confirmed calculated sizes on several Android phones and on emulators.   The question basically is: why guidelines use sizes different from what is really used by status bar?   P.S. I actually need to break guidelines due to precise pixel control requirements. And I just was confused by this state of affairs. So explanation of why this the way it is would really help me. Source: Tips4all
