writing a own application launcher for android

My Use case like this - User is in my application - User presses home key (application goes to background)

Now user wants to go back to the same application (task in android terms) one way is it through the application launcher BUT for my application there is no icon provided.

Instead user have to launch app with some "key combinations ". Essentially I have to write program to simulate application launcher.

So How can "application launching" be achieved with CODE? any leads would be highly appreciated.

As you suggest, writing a custom launcher is probably your best bet; check out this open source launcher for reference http://code.google.com/p/adw-launcher-android/

You can start an application with an intent

I believe the android sdk samples have an example of a simple home screen application.
