To launch other application from your app, you need to have it's package name and you can start other app thru;

ResolveInfo info;
packageName = info.activityInfo.applicationInfo.packageName;

Intent mIntent = getPackageManager().getLaunchIntentForPackage(packageName);
        mIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
        mIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_RESET_TASK_IF_NEEDED);
        if (null != mIntent) {
            try {
                startActivity(mIntent);
            } catch(Exception e) {      }
        }

you can get installed package thru:

ArrayList<PackageInfo> res = new ArrayList<PackageInfo>();
        PackageManager pm = context.getApplicationContext().getPackageManager();
        List<PackageInfo> packs = pm.getInstalledPackages(0);

You're getting a ClassCastException in line 75 of MainActivity:

 java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.Integer

Be sure that the parameter you are using really is an Integer.
