Maybe it will help someone how I resolved it.

To open another android app I use the com.lampa.startapp. The code for doing it it's:

var sApp = startApp.set({
    "package": "packageName" //The packageName of the app I want to open
}, {
    //extras I want to add
    "myParams" : "aaaaa"
});
sApp.start();

To work with intents (the ones that open my app) I use the cordova-plugin-intent with the following code:

//To get the intent and extras when the app it's open for the first time
window.plugins.intent.getCordovaIntent (function (intent) {
    intenthandler(intent);
});

//To get the intent and extras if the app is running in the background
window.plugins.intent.setNewIntentHandler (function (intent) {
    intenthandler(intent);
});

//To handle the params
var intenthandler = function (intent) {
      if (intent && intent.extras && intent.extras.myParams) {
        //Do something
      }
};

That's all!
