You haven't provided enough information to help.  Fwiw, the exception -does-
get thrown if there is no activity matching the intent given to
startActivity(), and the system does not display such a dialog.  So I would
assume there is something going on in your app doing this, or you are doing
something different from what I am interpreting your description to be.
