Collection icons are rendered per the UX spec and can not be customized other than re-arranging the apps inside the collection.

Please provide more information and reopen if you disagree.

I mean the default icon should be customized, now the icon is provided by mozilla in gaia, but customer may want to change the default icon like "social" collection icon.

But now the default icon can not be changed if we re-arranging the apps by modified the manifest.collection.
For example:
"pinned": [
    ["apps", "communications", "dialer"],
    ["apps", "sms"],
    ["apps", "communications", "contacts"],
    ["apps", "email"]
  ],

change to:
"pinned": [
    ["apps", "sms"],
    ["apps", "communications", "dialer"],
    ["apps", "communications", "contacts"],
    ["apps", "email"]
  ],

should change the icon to display the sms icon first and dialer icon and contacts other than the default icon in the order dialer, sms, contacts.

Thanks!

If you change the apps in the manifest file, you will also need to replace the default icon.

For example, the default icons for Social are here:
https://github.com/mozilla-b2g/gaia/tree/master/apps/collection/collections/social

You can simply edit them to reflect the new apps and their order.
