If you want to set title in Java file  then write in your activity onCreate  setTitle  Your Title      if you want to in Manifest then write       lt activity         android name   MainActivity          android label  Your Title   gt           lt intent-filter gt               lt action android name  android intent action MAIN    gt                lt category android name  android intent category LAUNCHER    gt           lt  intent-filter gt       lt  activity gt

Just an FYI  you can optionally do it from the XML   In the AndroidManifest xml  you can set it with  android label  My Activity Title    Or  android label   string my activity label    Example        lt activity         android name   Splash          android label   string splash activity title   gt           lt intent-filter gt               lt action android name  android intent action MAIN    gt                lt category android name  android intent category LAUNCHER    gt           lt  intent-filter gt       lt  activity gt

If you want it one time  amp  let system handle the rest  not dynamic  then do like this in your manifest file    lt application         android allowBackup  true          android icon   drawable ic launcher          android label   string app name          android theme   style AppTheme   gt           lt activity             android name   MainActivity              android label   string app name full   gt    This is my custom title name on activity   lt - The question is about this one               lt intent-filter android label   string app launcher name   gt    This is my custom Icon title name  launcher name that you see in android apps homescreen                   lt action android name  android intent action MAIN    gt                    lt category android name  android intent category LAUNCHER    gt               lt  intent-filter gt           lt  activity gt       lt  application gt

There s a faster way  just use   YourActivity setTitle  New Title      You can also find it inside the onCreate   with this  for example    public void onCreate Bundle savedInstanceState            super onCreate savedInstanceState           setContentView R layout main           this setTitle  My Title            By the way  what you simply cannot do is call setTitle   in a static way without passing any Activity object
