<category android:value="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />

Is this type of Intents can be used to show menu from a different project in some other projects show that we can make use of it..

Adding yourself to menus on other applications

Hello Katharnavas,

if your application has a cool feature that might be useful for another Activity you can offer it to be displayed in the other Activity's "MENU".
The other Activity (if it wants to) sends out a request for other Activities offering such "MENU"-Features.
