Missing App Title under App Icon on Device

I have installed the Android App on which I am currently working on my ASUS tablet, running 4.0.3

However, I must have accidentally deleted something in the Manifest.xml, because there is no words below the app icon. In other words, the app name is not appearing below the app icon on my device, and, as such, it is sorted in the All Apps screen in the wrong place.

Here is the relevant section of my manifest:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="tra.games.mytaboo"
    android:versionCode="1"
    android:versionName="1.2.1" >

<uses-sdk
    android:minSdkVersion="8"
    android:targetSdkVersion="17" />

<application
    android:allowBackup="true"
    android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
    android:label="Taboo"
    android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
.....

What am I missing?

Tim, Label of your launcher activity will be displayed.

<activity 
    android:label="Taboo" 
    android:icon="@drawable/icon"
    android:name=".activity.LaunchrActivity">
    <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN"></action>
        <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER"></category>
    </intent-filter> 
</activity>

You have missed android:label property. which is set your application name under the icon 

android:label="@string/app_name"

Here I have set to load app name from string.xml file. You can set it directly like this too

android:label="app name"

You could call the setTitle() function from within your Activity. It takes either an int (resource ID) or a CharSequence as a parameter.
