How to run (not install) .apk file in android emulator

I have downloaded flash apk from internet and installed correctly in emulator but I think it is not running.

I can see it in setting > application > manage appl开发者_StackOverflowication > flash but are not able to see in the main screen where all applications are existing.

Can anyone help me?

Is it different from installing that application on a phone ? It would not show on the "main screen" with all the other applications if it does not have the intent for it...

What you can do is to unzip the apk file then you can you AXMLPrinter2 to read what intents are available in the manifest file.
