An alternative solution to the one proposed by Commonsware (which I've found to be hit and miss on some devices) is to set the label of the application in the manifest as you're doing, to not set the label of the launcher activity in the manifest and instead to set it programmatically in your activity's onCreate(Bundle) method as follows:

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setTitle(R.string.activity_startup_label);
    // do whatever else you need to
}
