Title Body

I am not clear about what is the difference between category home and category launcher. From Android documentation page: CATEGORY_HOME : This is the home activity, that is the first activity that is displayed when the device boots. CATEGORY_LAUNCHER : Should be displayed in the top-level launcher. To test the difference I made a simple app with this manifest: <application android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher" android:label="@string/app_name" > <activity android:name=".IntentCategoriesActivity" android:label="@string/app_name" > <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" /> <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" /> </intent-filter> </activity> <activity android:name=".Second" android:label="Whatever" > <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" /> <category android:name="android.intent.category.HOME" /> </intent-filter> </activity> </application> But all I see is my launcher activity not the second activity. Can somebody please explain what am I missing? Thanks.
