Solution 1:

To be visible in the launcher your main activity should declare this intent-filter:

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

Please make sure that you don't have different icon.png files (or whatever you named your icon file) in the different drawable folders. Make sure that your icon file is identical (Except the resolution) in the drawable, drawable-hdpi, drawable-mdpi, drawable-ldpi or whatever drawable folders you're using.

I assume that one of them has the default icon in one of the folders.

I believe what was happening was that the Astro file manager would cache the app icons. Since I copied to the phone a new app version with the same filename as an older one, it would keep the old icon. Thanks everyone!
