start android activity within cordova project

Is it possible to call the following code within a cordova project? 

Intent intent = new Intent("android.net.vpn.SETTINGS");
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
startActivity(intent);

I tried to use WebIntent (link), but it does not support the set of a flag, furthermore I dont know how I have to set the options.

Short answer

No

Detailed answer:

Cordova uses one Activity only (Web View) so you cannot open new Activity.

But Ionic (Angular) supports states and you can switch views inside web view

What you try to do is to open Settings that is not part of your application.

So you can call Java method from Cordova and call your code

Java

private boolean openWifiSettings(final CallbackContext callbackContext) {

        final CordovaPlugin plugin = this;

        this.cordova.getThreadPool().execute(new Runnable() {
            public void run() {


                     cordova.startActivityForResult(plugin, new Intent(android.provider.Settings.ACTION_WIFI_SETTINGS), 0);

                    callbackContext.sendPluginResult(new PluginResult(PluginResult.Status.OK));

            }
        });

        return true;
    }

and in javascript:

YourPlugin.prototype.openWifiSettings = function (successCallback, errorCallback) {
  cordova.exec(successCallback, errorCallback, "MoodoPlugin", "openWifiSettings", []); //
};
