did you mean Activity title? then you can use this

setTitle("Your Title");

or if you use toolbar use

getSupportActionBar().setTitle("Your Title");`

or via AndroidManifest

android:label="My Activity Title"

please post your activity oncreate code as well, I think there might be some code in your activity which is overriding title from manifest – Shaz Hemani Mar 20 '18 at 05:49

This is very simple to accomplish

If you want to change it in code, call:

setTitle("My title"); OR

getSupportActionBar().setTitle("My title");

And set the values to whatever you please.

Or, in the Android manifest XML file:

<activity android:name=".MyActivity"  
       android:label="My title" />

The code should all be placed in your onCreate so that the label/icon changing is transparent to the user, but in reality it can be called anywhere during the activity's lifecycle.
