<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
android:supportsRtl="true"
android:theme="@style/AppTheme">
<activity android:name=".MainActivity"></activity>
<activity-alias
android:name="OneLauncherAlias"
android:enabled="true"
android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="One"
android:targetActivity=".MainActivity">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN"/>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER"/>
</intent-filter>
</activity-alias>
<activity-alias
android:name="TwoLauncherAlias"
android:enabled="false"
android:label="Two"
android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher1"
android:targetActivity=".MainActivity">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN"/>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER"/>
</intent-filter>
</activity-alias>
<activity-alias
android:name="ThreeLauncherAlias"
android:enabled="false"
android:label="Three"
android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher2"
android:targetActivity=".MainActivity">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN"/>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER"/>
</intent-filter>
</activity-alias>
</application>
Step 3. Enable and disable the activity-alias based on your requirement
Enable and disable the activity-alias based on your requirement. In my example, On click of the one layout, I am enabling the activity-alias OneLauncherAlias and disabling the rest.
Like You have 3 Button Iocns1, Icons2, Icons3, When clicking on Icons1 to set Launcher One Icon and Name, and then to click on Icons2 Button set Launcher Two Icons Name.
In Your Main Activity, XML file Add 3-4 Buttons

Button4=findViewById(R.id.Button3);
Button1.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View view) {
PackageManager pm = getPackageManager();
pm.setComponentEnabledSetting(new ComponentName(MainActivity.this, OneLauncher.class), PackageManager.COMPONENT_ENABLED_STATE_ENABLED,PackageManager.DONT_KILL_APP);
pm.setComponentEnabledSetting(new ComponentName(MainActivity.this, TwoLauncher.class), PackageManager.COMPONENT_ENABLED_STATE_DISABLED,PackageManager.DONT_KILL_APP);
pm.setComponentEnabledSetting(new ComponentName(MainActivity.this, ThreeLauncher.class), PackageManager.COMPONENT_ENABLED_STATE_DISABLED,PackageManager.DONT_KILL_APP);
