Metasploit-framework: Apps(msfvenm) not hiding after installing/first activity

[netship01]

Steps to reproduce

How'd you do it?

1.Use msfvenom to generate payload(Main activity)(android/meterpreter/reverse_tcp)
2.install this apk to android(6.0.1)

Expected behaviour

Apps should be hide from home screen after first launch

Current behaviour

It stays there on home screen.
BTW i know there is way to hide app icon from meterpreter but i want to hide as soon as first activity is launched.

Refernence- I serach and found this https://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-payloads/pull/129
So its not bug please make it configurable.

Metasploit version

latest version

I installed Metasploit with:

• [x] Kali package via apt

OS

What OS are you running Metasploit on?
parrot os

*One other question- any way to wake Main Activity by sms/link.*

Please clean up this issue, there is so much in here that you didn't remove I can't tell what the actual issue is. Please give output/screenshots from commands.
My guess is you are running parrot OS with a git pull of the latest code. You attempted to make an APK package (not specifying if you bound into one for a trojan, or just a new one) with an unknown payload, and unknown options set. Once you infected an unknown android OS and unknown hardware it made an icon in the apps list. Dont answer if this is correct, clean up the issue so someone can try to track down if its a real bug or not.

Thanks for replying.
Please check this out and if possible in future please make this configurable.

and any way to wake Main Activity by sms/link/.
just like we launch playstore from link.
This is in the androidManifest file
<data android:host="my_host" android:scheme="metasploit"/>

The app icon is no longer hidden automatically, you can hide it with meterpreter > hide_app_icon
You can launch by link but I'm not sure what the point is. The session should be persistent unless you kill it with meterpreter > exit

[netship01]

You can launch by link but I'm not sure what the point is
what is the link i try this intent://my_host#Intent;scheme=metasploit

    For best results, you can consider using the auxiliary/client/sms/send_text to
    trick your target into opening the malicious link, and wake up Meterpreter.

BTW please make it configurable(something in msfvenom during payload creation) not mandatory.
Like __-auto-hide__ switch. Please..
This feature was awesome.

The command is not working I have Android 10 and when I installed the payload and typed hide_app_icon it says app icon is hidden but it never happens :-( tried with some other devices with Android 10 too still no response
