Why has my app icon disappeared?

If the missing app is not showing in your App Library, which means it's no longer on your device. Perhaps, you have uninstalled it unconsciously. In that case, all you need is to search for the app on the App Store and reinstall it. Doing that will bring back the app icon to your home screen and the App Library.

Why are my apps not showing up on my home screen Android?

This is because if the app hasn't been installed yet, it will not appear on the home screen. You can find the installed and uninstalled apps in App Gallery, where the pre-installed apps and the third-party ones are all be stored.

How do I fix missing app icons?

You will be clearing the cache and data of the app whose icon is missing the same way you cleared data of the launcher app in the above point. Open Settings and find the 'missing icon' app under Manage app. Tap Clear data at the bottom of the screen and select Clear all data.

you need to add below line in androidmanifest.xml file

<activity android:label="@string/app_name"
          android:name=".MainActivity">
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
</activity>

android.intent.category.LAUNCHER is necessary to be shown in launcher, and android.intent.action.MAIN is responsible for being started. thats y your application icon is not displayed in the app list. but it will show in Settings-->Applications-->Manage Applications.
