Try this code:

PackageManager p = getPackageManager();
p.setComponentEnabledSetting(getComponentName(),
    PackageManager.COMPONENT_ENABLED_STATE_DISABLED, 
    PackageManager.DONT_KILL_APP);

& check this link. Note that the icon may not be gone until the next reboot.

OR

Try this:

PackageManager pm = this.getPackageManager();
pm.setComponentEnabledSetting(new ComponentName("com.google.android.talk",
    "com.google.android.talk.LAUNCHER"),
    PackageManager.COMPONENT_ENABLED_STATE_DISABLED,
    PackageManager.DONT_KILL_APP);

Hope this Help.
