Put the .png file in /var/lib/apkd so the final path becomes this

/var/lib/apkd/playstore.png

Put the .desktop file in /home/nemo/.local/share/applications so the final path becomes this

/home/nemo/.local/share/applications/playstore.desktop

Open app drawer

Thanks to @r0kk3rz

Play Store.zip

Edit1: It seems the changes don't survive reboot. I believe a patch would be more appropriate in this case.

Edit2: Issue resolved. Thanks a lot to @coderus for further help! Attachment and description updated.

Edit3: refer to @dreamer 's answer for a simpler method

just change desktop file name and icon name to custom, place desktop to /home/nemo/.local/share/applications without root
