You are wrong. You just need cast AndroidDriver.

It’s not working, please check the in below appium version.

io.appium java-client 9.0.0

I got the alternative way to switch the activity :

driver.executeScript(“mobile: startActivity”, ImmutableMap.of(“intent”, “com.google.android.youtube/com.google.android.apps.youtube.app.WatchWhileActivity”));

Also I tried before your code and it is also worked with Map
String intent = appstartPackage + “/” + appstartActivity;
Map<String, Object> params = new HashMap<>();
params.put(“intent”, intent);
driver.executeScript(“mobile: startActivity”, params);
