You want to start the NativeActivity with a java activity. This way you can load the shared libraries before NativeActivity.

AndroidManifest.xml:

DummyActivity.java:

package com.example.native_activity;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;

public class DummyActivity extends Activity {
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {       
        System.loadLibrary("some_shared_lib");
        System.loadLibrary("native-activity");

        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        Intent intent = new Intent(DummyActivity.this, android.app.NativeActivity.class);
        DummyActivity.this.startActivity(intent);
    }
}
