Android Application Creating Two Launcher Icons Instead Of One

I have a weird problem, where when installing the application I see two icons, one launches the application and the other says 'App is not installed' when I click it. I'm sure that

Solution 1:

I sometimes experience this while testing apps on devices, rebooting the device removes the corrupted one, solving the problem.

I don't know what causes this corrupt second launcher icon, though.

Solution 2:

Mostly this type of problem Occur when you have the below code more than once in activity tag.

<intent-filter><actionandroid:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" /><categoryandroid:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" /></intent-filter>

Delete this lines from activity tag where it has occured twice.

Solution 3:

This issue appeared to me after changing the manifest file only for one of my two build variants. I was refactoring activity names there, and forgot to change the second file.

After changing everything there too, this was fixed.
