My manifest launcher activity looks like:
<activity android:name=".CBMainMenu" android:screenOrientation="portrait" android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan"
>
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
<data android:scheme="linkedinapp" android:host="connect" />
</intent-filter>
Other applications are correctly installing but why does this app not?
I can see this app in Applications>Manage Applications
but it missing in shortcut.

How to resolve this? what could the problem be?
See also. A Launcher icon is a graphic that represents your application on the device's Home screen and in the Launcher window. The user opens the Launcher by touching the icon at the bottom of the Home screen. The Launcher opens and exposes the icons for all of the installed applications.
Step 1: Open the “Apps” or “Applications menu” from your Settings menu. Step 2: Tap the app whose icon you would like to be able to see again. Step 3: If you see a button that says “Enable/Start”, this is likely to be the source of your problem. tap “Enable/Start” to get your icons back again.
You may not be able to find where exactly it is placed on the home screen. There are several reasons why icons disappear from the Home screen. It is possible that it was moved someplace else or got deleted/disabled by accident.
The solution is not given in this topic. The real solution is to use multiple intent filters and is given here - https://stackoverflow.com/a/34611591/1828637
The problem is <data android:scheme="linkedinapp" android:host="connect" />
, you cannot logically use this tag in launcher activity, See below line , I taken from http://blog.marcingil.com/2011/03/starting-android-application-from-browser-uri/
Set if the activity should be an option for the default action (center press) to perform on a piece of data. Setting this will hide from the user any activities without it set when performing an action on some data. Note that this is normal -not- set in the Intent when initiating an action — it is for use in intent filters specified in packages.
I know this is a bit old. But, answering it for the benefit of someone who would face the same problem. The launcher activity should have specific filter as below in order for it to show up in the apps list.
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
