If it is your activity, you can put it in a tab. If it is an activity
from another application, you cannot, nor can you integrate its UI into
your UI in any other way.

Sure, but that will start the activity, which will then use the screen.
It will not put that activity in a tab, and it will result in a rather
strange user experience.

You can broadcast it. You can find activities that support it via
PackageManager. You can start services with it. And so on.
