First copy your desired application's icon from the /usr/share/applications directory to Desktop,

sudo cp /usr/share/applications/filename.desktop ~/Desktop

Then change the permissions(give execute permission to the .desktop file) of copied .desktop file on the Desktop,

sudo chmod +x ~/Desktop/filename.desktop

Double click on the application icon to run it's corresponding application.
