            <!-- Go / Nova -->
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
                <action android:name="com.gau.go.launcherex.theme" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
            </intent-filter>
            <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
            </intent-filter>

            <!-- LauncherPro / Holo -->
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

This application has all the intent filters for different launchers and there will an action according to that intent. these are defined by the launchers <action android:name="com.gau.go.launcherex.theme" /> and <category android:name="com.fede.launcher.THEME_ICONPACK" /> and your application take actions according to these and provide icons when specific launcher fires an intent.
