Application icon not appearing on the screen after compilation

Hi I am not able to find my application icon on the screen after installation of the app in the phone or in the virtual device .

The following are the changes done in AndroidManifest.xml I have added the icon 

 <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.example.myfirstandroidapllication"
    android:versionCode="1"
    android:versionName="1.0" >

    <uses-sdk
        android:minSdkVersion="5"
        android:targetSdkVersion="17" />

    <application
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
        <activity
        android:name="hello.world.MyHelloWorld"
        android:label="@string/app_name" >
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>
    </application>
</manifest>

and I have checked all the res folders for icons default icons are present. application is running succesfully when started from eclipse in emulator after adding action in manifest file . but no icon in the emulator also

The following are the changes in R.java

public static final class drawable {
        public static final int icon=0x7f020000;
}

but also I am not able to view the icon after installation even in the mobile ie installation is success but icon is not visible on the screen

You are not declared your start activity into the manifest:

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

After adding this into application tag, you will see app icon on launcher and tap on it will start YourStartActivity

you have not defined an activity in your manifest as launcher :-

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>


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

<application
    android:allowBackup="true"
    android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
    <activity
        android:name="com.example.globaldialog.MainActivity"
        android:label="@string/app_name" >
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

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

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

your launcher activity could be missing this intent filter, If yes, you need to add it.
