we have a scenario where our app ideally should run in the background, 
together with a primary app in the front. Here's how we fill the preference 
selector


    //fill the app list - ignore system apps
    final Intent mainIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN, null);
    mainIntent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_LAUNCHER);
    PackageManager pm = this.getPackageManager();
    final List<ResolveInfo> pkgAppsList = 
pm.queryIntentActivities(mainIntent, 0);
        // Sort the list
        Collections.sort(pkgAppsList, new 
ResolveInfo.DisplayNameComparator(pm));
    final ArrayList<String> appEntries = new ArrayList<String>();
    final ArrayList<String> appEntryValues = new ArrayList<String>();
    appEntries.add("nothing");
    appEntryValues.add("none,none");
    for (ResolveInfo info : pkgAppsList) {
        //if (!isSystemPackage(info)) {
    
        appEntries.add(info.activityInfo.loadLabel(pm).toString());
        
appEntryValues.add(info.activityInfo.packageName+","+info.activityInfo.name);
        //}
    }
    ListPreference appList = (ListPreference) 
findPreference("launch_application"); 
    appList.setEntries(appEntries.toArray(new 
CharSequence[appEntries.size()]));

               appList.setEntryValues(appEntryValues.toArray(new 
CharSequence[appEntryValues.size()]));
