title: How to hide application from showing in menu
body: <p>I'm making an Android app and I would like to know how to hide its icon and title from showing in the menu. Everything I've found so far on the internet is hiding  </p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" /&gt; 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>in AndroidManifest.xml.</p>
  
  <p>If I do that it doesn't start after installation! Another important note: I need my app to ALWAYS be running, even after restarting the phone.</p>
