    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    getWindow().requestFeature(Window.FEATURE_ACTION_BAR);
    getActionBar().hide();

    setContentView(R.layout.splash);

    myHandler = new Handler();

You probably has two activities with and . Hoewever, only your splachScreen should include those intents — guipivoto, Jul 08 '16 at 12:25

May be you have to intent filter in yout manifest.xml like this :

 <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
 </intent-filter>

edit it and set intent filter just for splash activity

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.test.test"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >

<application
    android:allowBackup="true"
