In your activity, you can use 

if(isAppInstalled("com.other.package"))
{
    Intent nextIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN);
    nextIntent.setComponent(new ComponentName("com.other.package","com.other.package.Activity"));
    startActivity(nextIntent);
}

I'm not sure how to tag something as a repeat, but a quick google search brings up this question which is the same as yours.

Either u can start an activity with an Intent that is similar to the one of the application that you wish to launch or u can launch the application using its file path as shown below:

Intent intent=new Intent();
 intent.setAction(android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
 intent.setDataAndType(Uri.parse("file:///sdcard/the full path to your file"), "application/vnd.android.package-archive");          "application/vnd.android.package-archive");
    intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);

context.startActivity(intent);
