In your AndroidManifest.xml file under the

<application tag

you will see 

android:label="@string/app_name".

Either change it from there or go to your strings.xml and change 

<string name="app_name">XXXXX</string>

to whatever you like. The best way is to change it in strings.xml rather than the AndroidManifest
