I would like to launch the menu that shows the recently used apps.
I’ve tried looking at logcat while hitting the button hoping there was some intent I could launch but no luck.
I know that on some phones it is a dedicated button and it can also happen by long-pressing the home button. Is there any way that I can launch it programmatically?
EDIT: Updated the title to be more accurate
No, this is not possible (mostly due to the many ways this is handled between the various esoteric Android OSs). However, you could get a list of running processes and make your own recent apps list. (Perhaps this answer or this one will help you.)
