check this out :

Intent viewMediaIntent = new Intent();   
          viewMediaIntent.setAction(android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW);        
          Uri audio = Uri.parse("android.resource://com.audio.test/raw/"+R.raw.audio1);       
          Log.d(TAG,"uri:"+audio.toString());
          viewMediaIntent.setDataAndType(audio, "video/*");   
          viewMediaIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP);
          Log.d(TAG,"Starting");
          Intent i = Intent.createChooser(viewMediaIntent, "Play Music");
            mGap.startActivity(i);
          Log.d(TAG,"Started");

Take a video view and media player in layout and in your activity onCreate you can do this

private VideoView video;
private MediaController ctlr;
uri=Uri.parse("android.resource://packagename/" + R.raw.famous);
video=(VideoView)findViewById(R.id.video);
video.setVideoURI(uri);
ctlr=new MediaController(this);
ctlr.setMediaPlayer(video);
video.setMediaController(ctlr);
video.requestFocus();
video.start();

Here the video named famous is in raw folder in res. or you can keep in assets and change the file name based on that. Code is tested and it works fine.
