Open your AnroidManifest.xml file and set the Launching Activity using the intent-filter tag as follows,

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