Not that I am aware of. However, you can create an activity that doesn't display a UI... Just give it a transparent theme and set it to not display the title bar.
Then it appears to the user as if nothing happened. However, I wouldn't recommend that unless it is absolutely necessary... Seems like the kind of thing that would annoy me. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- There are only 10 types of people in the world...
