Here below is the code with which you can get the icons of all installed Apps.

if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {
            try {
                // try getting the properly colored launcher icons
                LauncherApps launcher = (LauncherApps) this.getSystemService(LAUNCHER_APPS_SERVICE);
                List activityList = launcher.getActivityList(packageName, android.os.Process.myUserHandle());
                drawable = activityList.get(0).getBadgedIcon(0);
            } catch (Exception e) {
            }
        }

        if (drawable == null) {

            try {
                getPackageManager().getApplicationIcon(packageName);
            } catch (PackageManager.NameNotFoundException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        }
