My Android app is not displaying the application name \"app_name\", instead its displaying the activity name \"title\". This is from my manifest file;

You can just set your launcher activitys label as the app name and then set the actionBar title manually in code for that activity
getSupportActionBar().setTitle(R.string.title_user_login);
This is of course if you are using an action bar. Normal activity title headings are ugly anyway!
EDIT: saying that you can see the text change on start up!
