You might be able to use a Service and SensorListener for this, you will need to work out how often you would want to run the Service to poll the accelerometer for movement, as frequent polling will drain the battery.
I've also read that the sensors can stop returning results when the screen goes to sleep (as a battery saving action), you might be able to get around this by applying a PARTIAL_WAKELOCK for each poll. Once you've detected sensor movement, a simple "startActivity(this, YourAppActivity.class);" should kick start your application.
