You can start a new activity with the use of Intents. Please see this question here: How to start activity in another application?

If the activity you want to start doesn't exist, startActivity() throws an ActivityNotFoundException. That way, if the exception is thrown you know the user doesn't have Twitter installed, and you can open a webpage also by using an intent.
