Copy the apk file into assets folder.

  // Name should be starting activity complete name with package name
        Intent launch_intent = new Intent("android.intent.action.MAIN");
        launch_intent.addCategory("android.intent.category.LAUNCHER");
        launch_intent.setComponent(new ComponentName(packageName, name));
        launch_intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
