Probably with this solution you would get comments like "Shouldn't appear in the app drawer!!"...1-star. I got comments like those with a clock-widget, where the main Activity just showed instructions... at the end I made that activity <category android:name="android.intent.category.INFO" />, in this way it didn't appear in the app-drawer but users could press the "Open" button through the Market and get the instructions. Maybe you could try something like that.
