how to launch other application with different process from my application

I would to like to ask how to launch other application with different processes from my application?

mIntent = mContext.getPackageManager().getLaunchIntentForPackage(facebook package name);
mIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_MAIN);
mIntent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_LAUNCHER);
mContext.startActivity( mIntent );

As above codes, I found that the facebook uses the same process as my application. I would like to know that it is possible the facebook can be called with other process.

To my knowledge the app in another apk will by default run in its own process. I guess when you say 'process' you mean 'task', if this is the case you can set the FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK flag to the intent like this "mIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);"

Unless you have the same sharedUserId and the same signature as the app you are launching, you are launching it is a different process. You cannot launch it in the same process even if you wanted to.
