Probably, In the application activities,

            <intent-filter>

                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

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

            </intent-filter>

Intent-Filter that creates the icon in the launcher, would have been added to more than one activities.. In your case, two activities would have had this Intent-Filter.. Thats why two icons are added in the launcher it seems..

Remove it from one of those activities.. You will get only one launcher icon..

Reward points if helpful.

Hello Arun,

Two icons were created because of a slightly incorrect application manifest file. The solution is available in these links:
