Tested @tboyce1 command on my Shield and this is what i came up with:

(https://community.home-assistant.io/t/community-hass-io-add-on-adb-android-debug-bridge/96375/23)

Started the consol in the ADB container in Portainer.

adb shell

pm list packages | sed -e "s/package://" | while read x; do cmd package resolve-activity --brief $x | tail -n 1 | grep -v "No activity found"; done

And got this:

• de.blinkt.openvpn/.activities.MainActivity
• com.plexapp.android/com.plexapp.plex.activities.SplashActivity
• com.nvidia.tegrazone3/.LaunchActivity
• com.android.documentsui/.LauncherActivity
