Yes you can. By changing the android:label field in your application node in AndroidManifest.xml.

Note: If you have added a Splash Screen and added

 <activity
    android:name=".SplashActivity"
    android:label="@string/title_activity_splash_screen"
    android:theme="@style/AppTheme">
    <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
        <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
    </intent-filter>
</activity>

to your Splash Screen, then the Launcher Icon name will be changed to the name of your Splash Screen Class name.

Please make sure that you change label:

android:label="@string/title_activity_splash_screen"

in your Splash Screen activity in your strings.xml file. It can be found in Res -> Values -> strings.xml

See more here.

There’s the android:label for the application, and the android:label for the launch activity. The former is what you see under Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications on your device. The latter is what you see under Applications, and by extension in any shortcut to your application, e.g.

<application
    android:label="@string/turns_up_in_manage_apps" >
    <activity
        android:name=".MainActivity"
        android:label="@string/turns_up_in_shortcuts" >
        ...
    </activity>
</application>

This is a simple thing in Android Studio,

go to: res folder -> values -> strings.xml

change the app_name (in the bellow example:MitsuhoSdn Bhd) to any new name you want.

<string name="app_name">MitsuhoSdn Bhd</string>
<string name="hello_world">Hello world!</string>
<string name="menu_settings">Settings</string>

I noticed there are some differences in how the app name can turn up in Lollipop devices. Before Lollipop, you can have different app names with this:

<application
    android:label="@string/app_name"> // appears in manage app info
    <activity
        android:name=".MainActivity"
        android:label="@string/action_bar_title"> // appears in actionbar title 
        <intent-filter android:label="@string/name_in_icon_launcher"> // appears in icon launcher
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>
    <activity
...

In Lollipop, it will be like this:

<application
    android:label="@string/name_in_manage_app_info">
    <activity
        android:name=".MainActivity"
        android:label="@string/name_in_actionbar_and_icon_launcher">
        <intent-filter android:label="@string/this_is_useless">
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>

In Lollipop, android:label in intent-filter is basically useless, while actionbar title and icon launcher is identical. So, if you want a different title in actionbar, you have no choice but to set dynamically

getSupportActionBar().setTitle(R.string.app_name);

You might have to change the name of your main activity «android:label» also, as explained in Naming my application in android

It depends what you want to do. I personally wanted to rename my project so it didn’t say MainActivity at the top of the app and underneath the icon on my phone menu.

To do this I went into the Android Manifest.xml file and edited

<activity
        android:name=".MainActitivity"
        android:label="@string/title_activity_main" >
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>

And edited the android:name=".Mynewname" and then edited the string title_activity_main in the strings.xml file to match the name.

Hope that helps!

if you want to change app name under launcher icon then change this android:label="@string/app_name"
inside your Main Launcher activity tag

        <activity android:name="com.test.app"
                  android:label="@string/app_name" >
                  <intent-filter>
                    <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
                    <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
                  </intent-filter>
        </activity>

And if you want to change app name inside

Settings -> Application manager -> downloaded

where you have all installed applications then change this android:label="@string/app_name"
inside application tag

<application
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >

            ........

        <activity android:name="com.test.app" >
        </activity>

             .......

 </application>

To change the name of your Android application in Android Studio or Eclipse, you have to change the value of the property android:label defined inside the <application> node in AndroidManifest.xml

 android:label="My Cool Application!"

by default the name of the application is referenced to a string defined in strings.xml file, for example:

 android:label="@string/app_name"

so, we have to change the value inside the strings.xml file:

  <string name="app_name">My Cool Application!</string>

<application
      android:icon="@drawable/app_icon"
      android:label="@string/app_name">
          <activity
            android:name="com.cipl.worldviewfinal.SplashActivity"
            android:label="@string/title_activity_splash" >
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>

</application>

To change android app’s name , go to activity which is launcher activity and change its label like I have done above in my code.

Edit the application tag in manifest file.

 <application
    android:icon="@drawable/app_icon"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Black.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen" >

Change the label attribute and give the latest name over there.
