Remarks
Returns a "good" intent to launch a front-door activity in a package. This is used, for example, to implement an "open" button when browsing through packages. The current implementation looks first for a main activity in the category Intent#CATEGORY_INFO, and next for a main activity in the category Intent#CATEGORY_LAUNCHER. Returns null if neither are found.
Consider using #getLaunchIntentSenderForPackage(String) if the caller is not allowed to query for the packageName.
