Can you launch an android app from an android app built with air?

Hi I might a have project coming up soon where one of the requirements is that the android air application can launch another application on the device...

In pure java this would look something like this....

Intent LaunchIntent = getPackageManager().getLaunchIntentForPackage("com.rpg.rbar");

startActivity(LaunchIntent);

 

Does anyone no if I can perform a similar method using as3

Thanks
