Is it possible to arrange Android application icons on the home screen from application level code? Does this need to be handled by a custom launcher?

Those all only talk about the app icon. I want to rearrange all apps on the home screen of my device at run time. – mpkostek Oct 23 '17 at 20:37

No you can't do that. The arrangement of the launcher icons is an implementation detail of the launcher app. Further, it depends on the specific launcher in use which can be wide and varied.
As you say, if you want to do that, you need to be the launcher app.
