If you are only interested in a specific application, you can study the logcat output while launching that application. It will tell you the component that is necessary to launch it.
Looking at the Settings manifest: http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/packages/apps/Settings.git;a=blob;f=AndroidManifest.xml;h=7b3e689a6eb3d9fdbede1f016215aeba95c12338;hb=HEAD I presume that the activity you want to launch is started by: Intent i = new Intent(); i.setClassName("com.android.settings", "com.android.settings.BatteryInfo"); startActivity(i); or which settings did you want to launch?
