To run other application, you need to build data:

var sApp = cordova["plugins"]["startApp"].set({} params [, {} extras]);
Param Description Default Values
noParse Disable find action and category in Intent package false Boolean
intent Intent(String action) null String
application Intent (Context packageContext) null String
action Intent setAction null String
category Intent addCategory null String
type Intent setType null String
package Intent setPackage null String
uri Intent Uri null String
flags Intent setFlags null String
component Intent setComponent null String
intentstart set type of start intent startActivity startActivity, startActivityForResult, sendBroadcast

Extras as a set of key-value:

{
    "key1": "value1", // String
    "key2": "value2", // String
    "key3": 100, // Integer,
    "key4": true // Boolean
}

Example

var sApp = cordova["plugins"]["startApp"].set({ /* params */
    "action":"ACTION_MAIN",
    "category":"CATEGORY_DEFAULT",
    "type":"text/css",
    "package":"com.adobe.reader",
    "uri":"file://data/index.html",
    "flags":["FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP","FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TASK"],
    "component": ["com.app.name","com.app.name.Activity"],
    "intentstart":"startActivity",
}, { /* extras */
    "EXTRA_STREAM":"extraValue1",
    "extraKey2":100500
});

cordova["plugins"]["startApp"].set() return object:

sApp.start(function() { /* success */
    console.log("OK");
}, function(error) { /* fail */
    alert(error);
}, function() { // optional broadcast and forResult callback
    console.log(arguments);
});

or

sApp.check(function(values) { /* success */
    console.log(values);
}, function(error) { /* fail */
    alert(error);
});

If success, values contains data: versionName, packageName, versionCode and applicationInfo.

To get all extra fields use method extraFiels:

cordova["plugins"]["startApp"].extraFields(function(fields) { /* success */
    console.log(fields);
}, function() { /* fail */
 
});

Variable fields contains object array, example:

{
    "extraKey1":"extraValue1",
    "extraKey2":"extraValue2"
}

To get one extra field use method getExtra:

cordova["plugins"]["startApp"].getExtra(field, function(value) { /* success */
    console.log(fields);
}, function() { /* fail */
 
});

Variable field is a String. Variable value contains String value.

To has one extra field use method extraField:

cordova["plugins"]["startApp"].hasExtra(field, function() { /* success */
    console.log(fields);
}, function() { /* fail */
 
});

Variable field is a String.

var sApp = cordova["plugins"]["startApp"].set({
    "intent": "com.shazam.android.intent.actions.START_TAGGING",
    "flags": ["FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK"]
}).start();

Set application as package and activity:

var sApp = cordova["plugins"]["startApp"].set({
    "component": ["com.app.name","com.app.name.Activity"]
}).start();

Set application as action, package, type and Uri:

var sApp = cordova["plugins"]["startApp"].set({ /* params */
    "action":"ACTION_MAIN",
    "type":"text/css",
    "package":"cordova-plugin-startapp-zzz",

}, function(error) {
    $messages.prepend("<div class='err'>" + error + "</div>");
}, function(action, extras) { // receiver message
    $messages.prepend("<div>" + action + "" + JSON.stringify(extras)  + "</div>");

    "package":"cordova-plugin-startapp-zzz",
    "intentstart":"startActivityForResult",
});
 
sApp.start(function(compete) { // if receiver is registered
