How after installing your application does not display the application icon on the desktop?

I also wanted the icon not to appear in the list of all applications and in the settings / applications menu. Is it possible to do this, and if possible tell me where to look?

    To prevent the icon from appearing in the menu and on the desktop, delete all intent-filter types

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

    If the application does not appear in the list of installed applications in the settings, then it can not be deleted. It's impossible. If it were possible, it would be a big obvious security hole.

    • If it is possible to remove them after the application is installed, it will automatically start the service? - agent00

    So you can’t hide what is installed - is in applications. For security reasons, from those like you did, so was the installation and installation notifications.
