First of all - what is the point of that widget? A user could simply drag and drop the icon of the application they want to launch to the home screen.
If you are still convinced you need it, you probably also want to include an activity picker: http://www.openintents.org/en/node/263 On that page you find a small sample code how to start a PICK_ACTIVITY. The result is obtained in onActivityResult(). Using getComponentName() you can retrieve the components that are required to launch the desired application. I hope this help.
