                        .withBundleName(getBundleName())
                        .withAbilityName(MainAbility.class.getSimpleName())
                        .build();

Have you mentioned your Target Ability in Config.json @Sahana G R, reference usage : https://gitee.com/openharmony-tpc/BottomBar/blob/master/entry/src/main/java/com/example/bottombar/sample/slice/MainAbilitySlice.java — Gowtham GS, Aug 09 '21 at 04:59

Try to Delete Simple from getSimpleName. Like following:

Operation systemOperation = new Intent.OperationBuilder()
                        .withBundleName(getBundleName())
                        .withAbilityName(MainAbility.class.getName())
                        .build();
                intent.setOperation(systemOperation);
                startAbility(intent);

"Not working as expected" generally is not a valid error description. I'd suspect the AbilitySlice might belong to MainAbility and the whole operation might therefore be pointless, as navigation from A to B could not happen. The example which @Gowtham provided has one small difference (which appears to consider the device on which to launch the Intent with Super Device):

 .withDeviceId("")

Have you ever tried to start anything else but MainAbility?

I am trying to start, an ability, in a different package, from the parent package. – Sahana G R Aug 16 '21 at 11:58

I see that you have mentioned that the package name of your target ability is different than the package name of your ability slice in your reply to @Martin. Then, you need to make sure the bundleName(or package name) specified in the Intent's Operation builder is having the target ability's package name and not the calling ability's/abilityslice's package name.

Operation systemOperation = new Intent.OperationBuilder()
                        .withBundleName("enter_package_name_of target_ability_here")
                        .withAbilityName(MainAbility.class.getName())
                        .build();
                intent.setOperation(systemOperation);
                startAbility(intent);
