If you REALLY want to host an app inside your main app, I believe it is doable, but I highly recommend you do it a different way. Just use intents to start the apps from the main one.
If you are hell bent on hosting the app inside the main one, then you need to make sure that all the apps are signed with the same key, give them all the same sharedUserId in the manifest, and start poking around with either fragments or the LocalActivityManager class (but this class is deprecated now)... It will be a world of heartache and bugs if you decide to go this route...
