I managed to answer my question thanks for your answers the didn't exactly met the thing I wanted but on base of tham I figured it out

I just had to call

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_DIAL);

startActivity(intent);

to open only the phone application

You need permissions for certain ones ...better off doing

  Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN, null);
 intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_LAUNCHER);
     List<ResolveInfo> packs = mContext.getPackageManager().queryIntentActivities(intent,     PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED);

and then you got the list of things you have permission for and then sort through this to launch.
