Solution

  • To achieve this you will to have use flavour in your project, if you are using Android studio add the following code in your build.gradle file.

    productFlavors {
    flavor1 {
        applicationId "com.app.client1"
    }
    flavor2 {
        applicationId "com.app.client2"
    }
}

    Then create directory structure like

    flavor1>res>drawable-XXX>ic_launcher.png (app icon for client1)
flavor2>res>drawable-XXX>ic_launcher.png (app icon for client2)
