Android: Launching Home Screen in Android 4.0

I am trying to launch the home screen from a service.. I used the following code 

           Intent startMain = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN);
           startMain.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_LAUNCHER);
           startMain.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
           startActivity(startMain);

It is working fine in Android 2.3, but not in 4.0

In 4.0 its showing a list to choose what should be a default screen.

I need the same effect as we can get in 2.3

Thanks in advance

Solution

  • Can you try this add see if it works.

    instead of this Category, startMain.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_LAUNCHER);

    try this, 

    startMain.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_HOME);
