Not sure if that could help :

EDIT 1: Ok I got it working now, in your AndroidManifest.xml add these Lines ( Inside the Activity you want the Button to go to )

<intent-filter>
     <action android:name="com.example.yourapplication.UNIQUESTRING" />
     <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
</intent-filter>

be sure to change "com.example.yourapplication" to your package and UNIQUESTRING to be something Unique

in Javascript make the button fires this JS :

window.plugins.webintent.startActivity(
  {
    action: 'com.example.yourapplication.UNIQUESTRING',
  }, 
  function() {}, 
  function() {alert('Failed to open URL via Android Intent')}
);
