If you look, the top menu is displayed on the left and the sub menu is displayed on the right.
And when the top menu is selected, the submenu on the right moves to the left.

Display a YouTube like app menu when the user has long clicked on the app logo

I am working on an Android app and want to display a menu with some data about the app on a similar menu when you do a long click on the app logo in the main menu of the phone, like the one the YouTube app has, or other Android apps when pressed down.
I am working on Android Studio, and I've searched different sites for info on how to get to the menu, by default the android apps show a menu when long clicked, in which you can choose whether you want to delete the app or something else. I want to know how to access that menu.
At least I want to know the name of the menu so I can do more research, but if anyone knows how to interact with it, it would be great.
This blog explains it nicely

GMail App showing my app's page in android

Always facing the problem which is depicted in the below image
Gmail icon and my app icon is there. But the page icon is my app's icon. When opening my app by clicking an url(app related) from Gmail and then minimize my app shows like this. Anyone know the reason?
This is caused by the use of up navigation. However, it is suggested that you do use up navigation. Many people will argue that it isn't intuitive, but that's just the way Android handles this.
