Is there any way to open the app without launch activity?

hi,
Not sure if this is possible and didn’t find anything during my research. My android widget(its not a icon) doesn’t have any launch activity, we are using intentAction to trigger it when user tap on it. Is there any way to launch it using appium without using appactivity?

Just set app capability as path to the apk.

@kirill Thanks for your reply. If i just give the apk path, it shows me the error message “no launch activity exist”
