is it possible to hide the APP icon on home screen (Cordova - AngularApp)

I have a requirement as: There are two Apps APP "A" and APP "B". Here, APP B should open by any event triggered from APP A. For doing the same, I need to install both the apps on the device and is working fine. Here, I want to restrict the APP B from opening directly (from APP Launchpad/ Home Screen) so that it should open only from APP A. APP B is an hybrid APP built using Cordova.

Could you please suggest any possibility of handling the scenario.

Thanks in advance!

If you want to remove launcher then replace this in AndroidManifest.xml file

category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER"

replace to :

category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"

With cordova-custom-config, you should be able to add something like this to your config.xml:

<preference name="android-manifest/application/activity[@android:name='MainActivity']/intent-filter" delete="true" />

You will probably have to delete platforms/android and run cordova prepare after making any changes.

Check the platforms/android/AndroidManifest.xml to see if it has worked.

Make sure you have cordova-custom-config >= 3.0.0.

If you want to remove an app from default launcher then remove the following line in AndroidManifest.xml file

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

Hope this helps.
