Is it possible to change an application icon directly from the program? I mean, change icon.png in the res\drawable folder.
I would like to let users to change application's icon from the program so next time they will see the previously selected icon in the launcher.

Assuming you mean changing the icon shown on the home screen, this could easily be done by creating a widget that does exactly this. Here's an article that demonstrate how that can be accomplished for a "new messages" type application similar to iPhone:

You cannot change the manifest or the resource in the signed-and-sealed APK, except through a software upgrade.
