Add this line to your manifest:

B4X:

AddReplacement(android.intent.action.MAIN, unused_action)

That line will not place the icon on the launcher, but you will see the widget on the widget list.

John.

We just tried this, and it works !

AddReplacement(<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />, <!--<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" /> -->)

By suppressing that line you are not creating the icon on the launcher, simple as that.
