Binded jar leaves launcher icon

I have an App that uses a some Services from a binded Jar.
But this Jar leaves it own launcher Icon when I deploy this App on a Device. (So I have two launcher Icons)
Here is the Manifest File from this Jar project. What do I have to remove/do to make my Application leaves only the one desired launch Icon. (Only from MainApp)
Manifest:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.company.scandemo"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="2.2" >

<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED"/>

</intent-filter>
</receiver>
</application>
</manifest>

What do I have to remove/do to make my Application leaves only the one desired launch Icon
Please delete the MainLauncher flag from the manifest file in your binded Jar:
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
//Delete these flag

Java class requires permission but its already stated in android manifest

I'm making an application integrated to gcm and I'm keep getting error at this point.
String regid = gcm.register(Common.getSenderId());
Where the word "register" is covered with horizontal line in middle requesting permission com.google.android.c2dm.permission.RECEIVE
I have that permission on my android manifest file but still it keep showing horizontal line and requires permission.
I'm following this tutorial : http://www.appsrox.com/android/instachat/
This is my manifest file.

Multiple applications in task manager

a lot of times when I minimize my application I see two windows in task manager, example below:
Don't know if issue is related, but when I get only one application in task manager (as it should be) I don't see correct preview of it, it shows up as the top field in my example.
What could be the issue, anything specific I'm doing wrong and should look into?
Thank you for any help!

Your activities are using different settings for taskAffinity. Most of then use the default (no task affinity given), but one of them specifies the empty string as its taskAffinity.
Remove the line
android:taskAffinity=""

You application 'disappeared' because you commented these lines at SplashActivity section:
<!--
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
-->
as for share provider, which part are you stuck at?
