Hey I have a bit of a problem trying to locate my application in the App Drawer, it shows up everywhere else - Recent Applications (by holding down home) and it is also in the settings under Applications.
The only place it isn't is in the app drawer, my first guess is the Manifest?
The application runs perfectly fine.
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.zaknorris.brainhacker.v1"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="8"
android:targetSdkVersion="15" />
<application
android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="Brain Hacker Pro"
android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
<activity
android:name=".MainActivity"
android:label="Brain Hacker Pro" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="com.zaknorris.brainhacker.v1.Menu" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity
android:name=".attentionbuilder"
android:label="Attention Builder" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="com.zaknorris.brainhacker.v1.attentionbuilder" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
The icon is in the drawable is there and everything.
Not sure what's going on :\

If you can't find your apps in Android Auto's app launcher, they might be temporarily disabled. To save your battery life, some phones temporarily disable apps you haven't touched in a while. These apps might still show up on your phone, but won't show up in your Android Auto app launcher until you re-enable them.
Press and hold your finger on an empty space of the home screen until a menu appears, and then tap the Settings icon or option. In the Settings menu or screen, tap the Apps button or similar option. On the next screen, tap the Show Apps button option, and then tap Apply to save the change.
Open Settings and under Manage app, search for the app whose icon is missing, and tap to open it. Do you notice an option to Start/Enable the app? It could be under the App Info menu, depending on the make and model of your phone. If yes, most probably, the app is disabled, and you need to re-enable it.
Go to settings and open the application manager tab. In that list check if your downloaded app is present. If the app is present, that means the app is installed on your phone. Check your launcher again, if app is still not showing in laumcher, you should try installing a third-party launcher.
you need to have this:
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN"/>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER"/>
</intent-filter>
inside of one of your activity elements
