Attributes

Remarks

Create an intent to launch the main (root) activity of a task. This is the Intent that is started when the application's is launched from Home. For anything else that wants to launch an application in the same way, it is important that they use an Intent structured the same way, and can use this function to ensure this is the case.

The returned Intent has the given Activity component as its explicit component, #ACTION_MAIN as its action, and includes the category #CATEGORY_LAUNCHER. This does <em>not</em> have #FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK set, though typically you will want to do that through #addFlags(int) on the returned Intent.
