Intent.CATEGORY_APP_CALCULATOR: ActivityNotFoundException

Question

I'm trying to open the default calculator app in a android application. Two calculators are installed in device: default android calculator and Google Calculator.

Intent calc = Intent.makeMainSelectorActivity(Intent.ACTION_MAIN, Intent.CATEGORY_APP_CALCULATOR);
startActivity(calc);

This code is throwing an ActivityNotFoundException and shows this in logcat:

system_process W/IntentResolver: resolveIntent failed: found match, but none with CATEGORY_DEFAULT

This code have the same behavior:

Intent calc = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN);
calc.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_APP_CALCULATOR);
startActivity(calc);

It's a Android bug? How to open the application chooser, to let user select the default app?

Stack Trace:

android.content.ActivityNotFoundException: No Activity found to handle Intent { act=android.intent.action.MAIN cat=[android.intent.category.LAUNCHER] sel=act=android.intent.action.MAIN cat=[android.intent.category.APP_CALCULATOR]} }

It seems like the way, that documentation points to doesn't work. Nevertheless, this code will normally open default calculator app.

Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setClassName("com.android.calculator2", "com.android.calculator2.Calculator");
startActivity(intent);
