in case the image doesn't have a transparent background (which is the case), you have some ways to do this (all in Photoshop):

Common: make sure the image is in RGB mode, and make sure it is in a layer (you can copy the contents to a new layer and remove the background "layer" so you only have one layer containing the icon; then:

Cut out the background (can be achieved in many ways, one is to delete the background with the eraser (not very accurate), another is to select the background (with the magic wand, or via creating a clipping path, or even using the lasso tool) and deleting the background.

You can also create a layer mask and paint over the background, this will "erase" the background.

Finally, go to file > save for web > select PNG 24 and check the transparent background. That's it!

All of these are sort of generic ways, and it depends on your knowledge of Photoshop, but I'm sure you'll take some of these pointers and choose one.
