Is it possible to have more than one application in one apk file? or is there a way to have different launcher icons for different activities inside one app? I want to separate my app into some different (but related) logical parts.

Yes, You can have more than one launcher activity in your application. This will not create any kind of compile-time or run time error. You will find two launcher logos of your application in your device can launch different activities as we defined in manifest.

Yes, just mark two or more of your <activity>
s as LAUNCHER
within your manifest.
In addition you have to set the android:taskAffinity
attribute on both of your Launcher-Activities which specify the exact package and Activity to be started.
<activity android:label="MyApp" android:name=".MyApp" android:taskAffinity="com.example.MainActivity">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name=".MyApp"/>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN"/>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER"/>
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity android:label="Settings" android:name=".Settings" android:taskAffinity="com.example.SettingsActivity" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name=".Settings"/>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN"/>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER"/>
</intent-filter>
</activity>
