Awesome! Thanks Balwinder, your code works perfectly.
A little exploration: I tried to use Intent.ACTION_MAIN instead of
Settings.ACTION_SECURITY_SETTINGS for the action because that's what
the DDMS seemed to indicate. But the difference is that it first
leads me to the Settings, and then to Security & Location. But your
code directly leads me to Security & Location, which is what I want
for activity stack purposes. Thanks again.
