.png icon transparency issue for termux shortcut

[Android-X13]

I have placed a .png icon with transparent background for a particular shortcut inside the ~/.shortcuts/icons folder and it shows up in the home screen as expected on a Huawei device. However that same icon loses its transparency on a Samsung S10 device (it is still displayed on the home screen but instead of having a transparent background it has a white one).
Anyone knows why that happens? Is this issue related to Termux or the Samsung launcher?

png files don't have "backgrounds". If Samsung launcher is showing it, then issue would likely be with that. You can also try other launchers like nova to test and confirm.

termux-widget does not make any modifications to image.
