Re: [android-developers] loading applications

Applications are loaded into memory by the Android package manager,
which catches, handles, and routes intents. Eventually, if you send
an intent that asks an app to open up, the package manager will find
out what applications are registered to handle that intent, and if
they correspond to a program not in memory, load their code into a new
process, fork off a vm, and start the code running with the intent on
a message queue (looper, basically..).

However, why do you need to know this for your app's execution?
Android-developers is for SDK related questions, and keep in mind that
questions concerning the system should be directed to (perhaps)
android-platform.
