Try this, it works fine for me:
1 . Modify your MainActivity
section in AndroidManifest.xml
, delete from it, line with MAIN
category in intent-filter
section
<activity android:name="ru.quickmessage.pa.MainActivity"
android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|orientation"
android:screenOrientation="portrait"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:theme="@style/CustomTheme"
android:launchMode="singleTask">
<intent-filter>
==> <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" /> <== Delete this line
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
2 . Create <activity-alias>
, for each of your icons. Like this
<activity-alias android:label="@string/app_name"
android:icon="@drawable/icon"
android:name=".MainActivity-Red"
android:enabled="false"
android:targetActivity=".MainActivity">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity-alias>
3 . Set programmatically: set ENABLE attribute for the appropriate activity-alias
getPackageManager().setComponentEnabledSetting(
new ComponentName("ru.quickmessage.pa", "ru.quickmessage.pa.MainActivity-Red"),
PackageManager.COMPONENT_ENABLED_STATE_ENABLED, PackageManager.DONT_KILL_APP);
Note, At least one must be enabled at all times.
