How to check which application will open when I click on Launcher Icon?
How to find which application Ubuntu is trying to open when I click on the launcher icon? Is there a file that I can check?
NOTE: I know that I can simply click on the icon and wait for the application to open but it is not working that way. When I click on the icon, nothing is happening.

First run the following command and find the .desktop file associated to the launcher
gsettings get com.canonical.Unity.Launcher favorites
(I presume the unknown app icon is pinned to the Unity launcher).
Then look for the .desktop file in /usr/share/applications/ or ~/.local/share/applications/. Once you found the correct .desktop file, open it with a text-editor and look for the Exec= line. That should tell you about the application.
