In this scenario You have missed by telling the manifest about Which activity to run, Like I have Removed these Lines From Menifest

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

This error will accour, Just add the above Lines in menifest and Your error will Gone.

Like I have tested By removing the above line for Yourself from Menifest I face the Error just Like You..

Here the main Activity will be the One You want to start First After Installation Of Apk
