    Question Widget Name???

    I feel this is such a stupid question, but i just finished my first app out of the book Im reading. And there was no mention of putting a name under my newly created widget. I asked around and people are saying it should be in the manifest file without adding more details. There are some name fields in this file but i still dont get a name once i add my widget. Below is my manifest file can anyone be more specific of where i should apply the name?

    HTML Code:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.dummies.android.silentmodetoggle"
    android:versionCode="1"
    android:versionName="1.0">
    <application android:icon="@drawable/icon" 
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:debuggable="true">
    <activity android:name=".MainActivity"
    android:label="@string/app_name">
    <intent-filter>
    <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
    <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
    </intent-filter>
    </activity>
    <receiver android:name=".AppWidget"
    android:icon="@drawable/icon">
    <intent-filter>
    <action android:name="android.appwidget.action.APPWIDGET_UPDATE" />
    </intent-filter>
    <meta-data android:name="android.appwidget.provider"
    android:resource="@xml/widget_provider" />
    </receiver>
    <service android:name=".AppWidget$ToggleService" />
    </application>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.VIBRATE" />
    <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="7" />
    </manifest>
