Answer 1

Might want to give this a try:

    Intent intent = new Intent("android.intent.action.MAIN");
    intent.addCategory("android.intent.category.LAUNCHER");
    intent.setComponent(new ComponentName("de.application.ui", "de.application.ui.MainActivity"));
    intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
    intent.putExtra("de.application.exit", true);
    startActivity(intent);

Answer 2

I do this to start a main activity:

Intent intent = IntentCompat.makeRestartActivityTask(cn);
activity.startActivity(intent);


        Intent i =  new Intent("android.intent.action.MAIN");
        final ComponentName cn = new ComponentName  ("de.application.ui", "de.application.ui.MainActivity");

                        i.setComponent(n);                          

                    try {
                        startActivity(i);
                    } 
                    catch (ActivityNotFoundException e) {

                    }
