Hello,
Is there a way of removing an activity from the home launcher by itself at runtime? I mean removing Intent.CATEGORY_LAUNCHER from it's properties or something similar.

A:
You can disable a component via PackageManager#setComponentEnabledSetting(), which will have the effect of removing it from the Launcher.

I tried this out, and works like a charm. Thanks.

How would this work if you later would re-install your app. Is there no problem as you have disabled it?

I tried it and it works, but I the launcher need to be restarted in order for the icon to disappear. Do you know how to refresh the launcher icons?

Tried it, the icon is still in the Launcher but when I click on it, it shows a toast "Application is not installed on your phone" :(
