In between of running my application activity manager just display message I/ActivityManager(159): Starting: Intent { act=android.intent.action.MAIN cat=[android.intent.category.LAUNCHER] flg=0x10100000 cmp=com.rfb.client/.RFB_ClientActivity bnds=[182,205][238,271] } from pid 159 it keeps on displaying this message.

Any idea why this info is shown in log ? what is the meaning of this message ? Please let know if you know about this.

Any idea why this info is shown in log ?

Because the Android engineer responsible for ActivityManager chose to log it. Frankly, I wish this engineer had not done this.

what is the meaning of this message ?

It means Android is starting an activity, using the Intent described in the log message.

The combination of action=main and category=launcher in intent filter is key make an entry point to android application and will advertised in android manifest file. When android system try to launch an application, since main intent filter is present in the activity, activity manager gets control and catches the intent to start main process in main thread/UI thread.
