LaunchUriAsync() doesn't launch Windows Store App

I'm trying call my application on OnShareTargetActivated() method by LaunchUriAsync() but it doesn't work.

I have a protocol called "myapp" in appmanifest. When I put "myapp://test" on File Explorer, my application is launched, but when I do it:

protected async override void OnShareTargetActivated(ShareTargetActivatedEventArgs args)
{
   Uri uri = new Uri("myapp://test");
   await Windows.System.Launcher.LaunchUriAsync(uri);
}

This occurs when the user clicks on my application that is on Charm Bar in Share option. But the application is never launched.
