[android-beginners] Using Android icon artwork as basis of icon for a paid app - acceptable?

Hello everyone, sorry if this is a silly question, but I want to stay
out of legal trouble with my first venture into selling software!

I have seen that a number of apps on the market modify the original
little green android guy icon (give him hats, clothes, change his
color, etc). I think it is a fun theme for applications, and really
enhances the feel of Android in general for me as a user. Is it
acceptable use of the original artwork to modify it in this manner if
the application is going to be a paid app?

I'll most likely be asking someone else to do my art anyway as I'm not
much of an artist myself, but I have an idea for a modified Android
guy that I'd like to use as an icon, and I wanted to make sure that
was okay. Thanks a lot!
