Android - Custom Home Application Doesn't Appear When Click Home Button

I'am using Android Studio and I have developed an Home Application by adding

<activity
            android:windowSoftInputMode="stateAlwaysHidden"
            android:screenOrientation="landscape"
            android:launchMode="singleInstance"
            android:stateNotNeeded="true"
            android:name=".MainActivity"
            android:label="@string/app_name" >
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.HOME" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.MONKEY"/>
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>

This is working and I am testing my application with run button no problem. But after run another app from Android Studio the home application stop appearing home button selection screen.(not everytime). This is how I solve my problem

This looks like a bug, I dont know what is that. Is there a way to clear cache data or another simple way to solve the problem or any suggestion?

You most likely have a different launcher set as default launcher.

In the settings of your device you should be able to set the default launcher. Go to applications and look for your current launcher. Clear the default launcher.

If you cleared the default launcher and correctly installed your launcher, it should now ask every time which launcher to launch when you hit the home button.

Tip: Try it out on different devices and emulators!
