you can just simple get the name and class from ResolveInfo and make intent manualy like for sonyercisson the package name is "com.sonyericsson.home" and class is "com.sonyericsson.home.HomeActivity"

   Intent intent = new Intent();
   intent.setClassName("com.sonyericsson.home", "com.sonyericsson.home.HomeActivity");
   intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_LAUNCHER);
   startActivity(intent);

it works
