But each customer wants it with its name.

The simplest way would be to have a common app with the same package name, but change each customer's label name . Since it would be installed onto different customers devices, they will not overwrite each other. You can also, make the app icon personal to the given customer.
However, stand by, you will be getting more ideas from other forum users about this topic.

thanks for the answer... but maybe I was not clear enought... the customer are for exempla restaurants, that want published the delivery app on google play with its own name.

in this case I need to create a package name with the customer (restaurante) name on it

Build the core app, and build it with a different package for each customer

The Store cannot accept duplicate Apps. You should publish them on a Web site.

ok, but how that should work? what you mean different package? copy and paste of the project? library? I want to do something that can be easy to mantain

is it a cloud based system?
if it's a cloud system then :
what we do when we have a similar project :
1- once web service
2- On Admin Portal (Asp.net or B4J)

then the below is for each customer :
1- Each customer has his own database on the server (meaning if the customer name is erel then the database will named erel)
2- Each customer will have his own app - different package name of the app and different logo + name (meaning if the app is for delivery then each customer will have his own folder and that folder contains the project : WHY ?
because some customers will require some customization in the system and you can't make the customization effect all the other customers)

Hope that answered your question and if you have any question regarding the above just send me a PM and i will be more than happy to help through the process

I spent part of my life developing multiprovisioning applications. I use a single DB and tables with customers name as code.
