Running an Android activity with an intent

I have an activity that requires a parameter be passed as an intent extra when the activity is started. Is there any way I can set a demo parameter from a run configuration to allow me to to run the activity from Android Studio without creating a temporary default activity that launches the activity I am working on?

With credit to CommonsWare, here is the solution:

In the configuration, set the correct flags for am, in my case -e for a String extra:

-e "extra_key" "extra_value"

Alternatively, for an int extra, you could use the flag --ei:

--ei "extra_key" 1

This goes in the "Launch Flags" field (with a specified activity) in the launch options section of the configuration edit dialog.
