Chrome app window only

Is it possible to launch a Chrome app without having the Chrome Browser appear?

In other words can the browser run in the background and launch a chrome application?

Yes, if the app creates its own window then just run it from the Chrome app launcher or make the shortcuts on desktop / startmenu / taskbar: open chrome://apps/ page (it can be opened from the new tab page), right-click the app, click Create shortcuts.

To run the app using command line use the app ID (to get it first create a shortcut as described above and simply copy the command line from the shortcut's parameters, or you can copy it from the webstore page of the app), here's a Windows command line using start which automatically finds the installed Chrome executable:

start chrome --app-id=pelimflkpjiicnajdjcmekpioacmahkh

P.S. The app must be installed in the browser.
