App not showing in launcher

After installing an app via the run command on Android Studio, the app launches correctly, I can see it in the applications list and account manager. The problem is that it doesn't show up at all in the app launcher. (I have Google Launcher installed on the Nexus 5 device which I am testing on and everything was working fine before 6.0.1). App name is "Pumpkin".

Here is the manifest

And here's the screenshot where Pumpkin's supposed to fit.

For some Android models, the app will be installed automatically when it completes the downloading process. If you find the missing apps installed but still fail to show up on the home screen, you can uninstall the app and reinstall it. If necessary, you can also recover deleted apps on Android.

Your Intent-Filter seems to be wrong. Change to:

<activity
       android:name="com.pumpkin.activities.SplashScreenActivity"
       android:label="@string/app_name"
       android:screenOrientation="portrait" >
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
        <intent-filter>
            <data android:scheme="pumpkin.com" android:host="open" />
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>
