Description
The app currently uses the app icon for the "K-9 Accounts" widget (really, a launcher shortcut). We should use the account image instead.
We want shortcuts to update when the user changes the image used for an account. Some research is needed on how to change the icon of an existing launcher shortcut.

Research direction
Start by investigating how the Android app creates the "K-9 Accounts" launcher shortcut and read related issue #5509. Determine how an existing shortcut can change its icon and how account image changes are observed. Done means the shortcut uses the account image and updates when that image changes.
