Application icon does not appear after installing android app

I am developing an android app and when I install the app on android phone, the application icon does not appears in application section. But it appears in application manager and I can make uninstallation. After googling, some said I need to rebuild my project and to make sure the app icon in drawable resource. I already tried for this solution and the problem is still occurring. The manifest file I created is as follow:

<application
    android:allowBackup="true"
    android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:theme="@style/AppTheme">
    <activity
        android:name=".MyActivity"
        android:label="@string/app_name" >
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.view" />
            <data android:scheme="geo" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>
</application>

In my case, my manifest included a label for the main activity. I deleted the label, restarted the app and the icon magically appeared in the applications list.enter image description here

I believe geo scheme cannot be used with Launcher. I can't find any documentation but in this tutorial they suggest to use with default category.

Please try to move your location related code to another activity and move scheme=geo filter to that one.

In your manifest in activity try using or add another intent filter

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