I don't believe this is possible any more, read [Android, Detect when other apps are launched](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3290936/android-detect-when-other-apps-are-launched). – Sam Dec 01 '12 at 21:03

it reads like a virus or adware... – aldo.roman.nurena Dec 01 '12 at 21:04

@aldo.roman.nurena I don't know how either one of those read. – DaJaynae Williams Dec 01 '12 at 21:49

I mean "launch X app when my calculator is launched" could be used to display unwanted ads – aldo.roman.nurena Dec 01 '12 at 23:26

It is possible but the application must be running in the background all the time. This will consume memory and battery life.
Also I don't believe that it morally right to force an end user to use your application.

No my app will only pop up once they enable it and input a pin of their choice. And when they no longer want it to do that, they are more that free to disable it. – DaJaynae Williams Dec 01 '12 at 21:48

Well in that case, go attempt it. It is possible. Plus this question has been asked before on this site. – turnt Dec 01 '12 at 22:37
