Last example describe how to "Get application details via ResolveInfo". According to the retrieved ResolveInfo, we can start activity specified in Intent.

    Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN);
    intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_LAUNCHER);
    intent.setClassName(packageName, name);
    intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK | 
      Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_RESET_TASK_IF_NEEDED);
    startActivity(intent);
