Question

After following successfully the method to set multiple LAUNCHER activities (as described in https://stackoverflow.com/a/3270783/978329) using the taskAffinity attribute, I ended up with having separated icons, one for each Activity.

My problem is that all these icons look the same, based on the parent application icon.

I am looking for a way to assign a different visual icon for each LAUNCHER activity
(e.g. one red icon, one green icon, one blue icon etc.) so the difference will not be only by the label, but also by the graphics.

Any idea?

In each activity element of your manifest add the android:icon attribute and assign it to a drawable. For example <activity ... android:icon="@drawable/icon_x".
