Can I launch an Android Application from Linux service?

Can I launch an Android Application from a Linux service?

If so, do you have sample code to do this?

You need to somehow get a startActivity() call into the Activity Manager, which means doing stuff in Java to build the Intent and make the call.

Note: please don't send private questions to me, as I don't have time to provide private support, and so won't reply to such e-mails.  All such questions should be posted on public forums, where I and others can see and answer them.

Or just system("am ...") command :-)
