In the Iconography section if the Android Design Guide they describe the following style that should be used for Launcher Icons:
Use a distinct silhouette. Three-dimensional, front view, with a slight perspective as if viewed from above, so that users perceive some depth.
I'd like to know how to create this effect with Inkscape. At the moment I just have a two-dimensional shape and don't know how to continue.

The final design should be detailed and represent the function of the app. This is a lot more work than the effect you asked for.
