usage: run app.activity.start [-h] [--action ACTION] [--category CATEGORY [CATEGORY ...]]
              [--component PACKAGE COMPONENT] [--data-uri DATA_URI]

Starts an Activity using the formulated intent.

Examples:
Start the Browser with an explicit intent:

    dz> run app.activity.start
                --component com.android.browser
                            com.android.browser.BrowserActivity
                --flags ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK

If no flags are specified, drozer will add the ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK flag. To
launch an activity with no flags:

    dz> run app.activity.start
                --component com.android.browser
                            com.android.browser.BrowserActivity
                --flags 0x0

Starting the Browser with an implicit intent:

    dz> run app.activity.start
                --action android.intent.action.VIEW
                --data-uri http://www.google.com
                --flags ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK
