I came up this issue today, I am using Gradle.

I found out there was a folder ./build/manifests/debug/AndroidManifest.xml was generated from gradle build, and it had duplicate intent-filter of category launcher.

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

...

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

One of it was came by gradle dependencies compile project. So I went back and check dependencies project and remove it, and the problem solved.

Android's Launcher app creates an icon for each Activity in your Application that includes the intent filter android.intent.category.LAUNCHER.

Remove this intent filter from all Activities that should not be launched. In other words, define this intent filter in your main Activity, and in your main Activity only.

try to use this ,

<intent-filter>
    <action android:name="android.intent.action.(your action )" />
    <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
</intent-filter>

and you have to use ur main activity 

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

do you use the default icone of android , or u have change the app's icon from the manifest ?

if that's right , try using the default icon of android , and then see if that will duplicate the app's icon or not
