That is only one possible problem. Others:
-- this app may not be installed
-- this app may be modified by the core Android team
-- this app may be modified by device manufacturers
-- this app may be replaced by device manufacturers
-- this app may not be the one the user is using

Use ACTION_SEND with EXTRA_STREAM.

Re: [android-developers] opening Android Email application from another application
You should not be using class names like that. It is advised to use the
Intent Mechanism only. If the user hasn't configured the mail account, it's
the responsibility of the mail app to open the proper activity.

Re: [android-developers] opening Android Email application from another application
Hi,
Thanks for your reply. What you said worked. Instead of querying the email
provider, I directly called the intent:
emailIntent.setClassName("com.android.email",
"com.android.email.activity.Welcome");
startActivity(emailIntent);
But my doubt is that, I dont know whether the user has configured his email
or not.
i.e whether to call the Welcome activity or MessageCompose activity of the
email application.
Because of this, I thought of querying the email app and if there is an
account, I will start the MessageCompose activity.
Is there any other way of doing this ?
Thanks again. your suggestion really helped.

Re: [android-developers] opening Android Email application from another application
You can open the Activity(Compose) of the mail app. But the content provider
for the gmail app is not public. So, you cannot query that content provider.
If you want to send an audio file as an attachement, checkout the SEND
action.
