in the launcher put the complete path to the binary
and/else
add this to your .bashrc:
PATH=$PATH:/home/user/applications

(if you run echo $PATH you'll see several directories separated by ":",
the shell looks on those to find executables, in that order, so if you
have 2 binaries with the same name...)
