How to change App Name on Recent Task list? - Android

Does anyone know how the Recent Tasks list in Android populates the name it displays next to each app? I would like to change this from the name of the launcher activity to something else.

Solution

  • This works for me.

        if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT>=21){
        setTaskDescription(new ActivityManager.TaskDescription(name));
    }
