I'm using the following code and it works fine, don't need to add
external activities in you Manifest.xml.
Not sure if it's a recommended way.
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
// intent.setData(m_uri);
intent.setComponent(new
ComponentName("com.toremote.serversmanager",
"com.toremote.RemoteActivity"));
intent.putExtra(REMOTE_SERVER, HOST);
intent.putExtra(REMOTE_PORT, PORT);
startActivity(intent);
<activity android:name="com.toremote.RemoteActivity"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:configChanges="orientation|
keyboardHidden"
android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar">
<intent-filter>
<action
android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
<category
android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
