You cannot change the manifest or the resource in the signed-and-sealed APK, except through a software upgrade. or Try this, it`s work fine for me but not sure for all devices:

1. Modify your MainActivity section in AndroidManifest.xml, delete from it, line with MAIN category in intent-filter section.

   
     
      
      //DELETE THIS LINE
    
   
   

2. Create for your app, for each of your icons. Like this

3. Set programmatically ENABLE attribute for necessary

   getPackageManager().setComponentEnabledSetting(
   new ComponentName("ru.quickmessage.pa", "ru.quickmessage.pa.MainActivity-Red"), 
       PackageManager.COMPONENT_ENABLED_STATE_ENABLED, PackageManager.DONT_KILL_APP);
   

Note, At least one must be enabled and above code perfect working up to 4.0 not tested into >4.0.
