Talkback reading the appname for each activity

When i'm navigating in my app. Talkback tells me the name of the app in each new Activity.

I would like to know if this is expected behaviour. If not, what can i do about it

I can't find anything about this on https://developer.android.com/training/accessibility

What's happening : The talkback announces the activity label . If an activity label is not explicitly defined using android:label="" in the activity tag then the talkback will announce the app label defined in android:label="@string/app_name" in the application tag.

Solution : Specify the text you want to be announced for each activity in the activity tag. If you want the announcement to go silent for launch of a specific activity put android:label as empty string in that activity's tag.
