How to use
Step 1: set activity alias in manifest file : #Example
<application          .........                 <!-- main activity-->        <activity android:name=".MainActivity" />

<!-- setting activity-alias names--> <activity-alias android:name="in.myinnos.changeappiconandname.MainActivitySettings" android:enabled="true" //enabled by default launcher android:icon="@drawable/ic_settings" //app icon android:label="@string/app_settings" //app label/name android:targetActivity=".MainActivity"> <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" /> <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" /> </intent-filter> </activity-alias>

<activity-alias android:name="in.myinnos.changeappiconandname.MainActivityCamera" android:enabled="false" android:icon="@drawable/ic_camera" //app icon android:label="@string/app_camera" //app label/name android:targetActivity=".MainActivity"> <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" /> <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" /> </intent-filter> </activity-alias>

.........

</application>

Step 2: implement App Icon Name Changer method : #Example
// Active alias name String activeName = "in.myinnos.changeappiconandname.MainActivitySettings";

// Disable alias names List<String> disableNames = new ArrayList<String>(); disableNames.add("in.myinnos.changeappiconandname.MainActivityCamera"); disableNames.add("in.myinnos.changeappiconandname.MainActivityMessage");

// Initiate App Icon Name Changer new AppIconNameChanger.Builder(MainActivity.this) .activeName(activeName) // String .disableNames(disableNames) // List<String> .packageName(BuildConfig.APPLICATION_ID) .build() .setNow();

IMP Note: To change application launcher icon and the application name should wait for 10 Seconds(MAX) to refresh the launcher.
