Bug description
Icons for shortcuts on the home screen are heavily zoomed in, which looks very odd, especially compared to other apps which have adaptive icons without this problem. I tested primarily on Lawnchair, but this happens on other launchers I've tested. When added by holding the app, this isn't an issue, but it's just a circle instead of being adaptive. Related to #11412
Steps to reproduce
- Open Signal
- Open a chat
- Tap the kebab menu in the top right
- Tap "Add to home screen"
Actual result: The icon is distinctly zoomed in
Expected result: The icon should not be zoomed in
Screenshots
I've attached some examples next to other apps that do this correctly.
A SchildiChat (Element) shortcut:
A Discord shortcut:
The aforementioned icon from holding the icon instead of being in-app:

Research direction
Reproduce the issue in Signal-Android by opening a chat, using the kebab menu, and selecting “Add to home screen” on an Android device or launcher. Compare the in-app shortcut with shortcuts added by holding the app icon and the supplied examples; done means the in-app shortcut is no longer visibly zoomed in while retaining the expected icon behavior.
