Start Pebble app from a watchapp

Question

The Pebble Docs clearly describe how to start a watchapp on the Pebble from an Android app, but I cannot find instructions on how to start an Android app from a watchapp. Is that possible, and how?

Could you clarify your question? It seems like you answered the question in the first sentence. Are you looking to start an Android app from a watch app perhaps? — Damian, Oct 28 '15 at 07:26
So, is there a way, to start an android app from a pebble watchapp? — cs04iz1, Feb 24 '16 at 10:34

It's possible by registering a broadcast receiver for the pebble events, here's the code:

    <receiver android:exported="true" android:name=".MyBroadcastReceiver">
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="com.getpebble.action.app.RECEIVE"/>
            <action android:name="com.getpebble.action.app.RECEIVE_ACK"/>
            <action android:name="com.getpebble.action.app.RECEIVE_NACK"/>
        </intent-filter>
    </receiver>
