It may be there's a way to get things to work going down the path you're
headed.
Personally, I'd look at the source to RecentApplicationsDialog and see
how they do it. You can find this in Google Code Search by searching on:
package:android recentapplicationsdialog
The reloadButtons() method uses getRecentTasks(). They create an Intent
for each task, use resolveActivity() on PackageManager to get the
ResolveInfo on the activity, then use loadLabel()/loadIcon() to get the
display stuff.
