Google Docs main activity: couldn't find address

Question

I am developing a Huawei custom Theme. I was trying to change some Google apps (Documents, Sheets and Slides) icons. So I used as address their package name e.g. com.google.android.apps.docs.editors.slides

Since it didn't work, I tried with some activities, found in the manifest file, but no one worked yet. (for example com.google.android.apps.editors.homescreen.HomescreenActivity, which is the first one that appears when I open Slides);

So the question is: is there a way to identify which is the main activity, nay, which is the activity who defines app icon?

Usually, the main activity declares the following intent filters (documentation) in order to indicate for the system that this activity is Main and is a launcher activity:

    <activity android:name=".ActivityClassName">
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>

Thank you so much, it was way simpler than I imagined! I don't know why I didn't notice intent filters before – Jamax Sep 16 '19 at 20:26
