The NAME of your app is a string held in the STRINGS.XML file. You can also override this in the ANDROIDMANIFEST.XML file.

in your project structure, under res.. look for values folder right there you will a see a xml file named Strings

enter image description here

<string name="app_name">Quality App</string>

edit

also you can change the name in the manifest file and put a different name in each activity...

Add into res/values/strings.xml the app name

<string name="app_name">My App is cool!</string>

call it inside your Manifest.xml to be displayed by your Activity

<activity        
   android:label="@string/app_name" >
