For HDPI
, XHDPI
, etc. what should be the ideal size of the launcher icon? Should I have to create 9-Patch
images for the icon to scale automatically, or would it be better to create separate icons?

I would create separate images for each one:
Then just put each of them in the separate stalks of the drawable folder.
You are also required to give a large version of your icon when uploading your app onto the Google Play Store and this should be
WEB 512 x 512
. This is so large so that Google can rescale it to any size in order to advertise your app throughout the Google Play Store and not add pixelation to your logo.Basically, all of the other icons should be in proportion to the 'baseline' icon,
MDPI at 48 x 48
.This is all explained on the Iconography page of the Android Developers website: http://developer.android.com/design/style/iconography.html
