Answer 1

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.
