That is not possible, as you cannot change the android:label attribute on <application> at runtime.

If you are looking to change the launcher icon, you can try to do this by having two launcher activities, one initially with android:enabled="false". Then, at runtime, use PackageManager and setComponentEnabledSetting() to disable your original launcher activity and enable the one that you shipped in a disabled state. However, on some devices, this will require a reboot to take effect, because the home screen might not be paying attention to this sort of state change. And note that this only affects the launcher icon, not the app's name shown in Settings or anywhere else in the system that uses the application's label instead of an activity's label.
