Try this:

Uri uri = Uri.parse("https://www.twitch.com/_u/" + username);

Intent likeIng = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, uri);

likeIng.setPackage("tv.twitch.android.viewer");

try {
    startActivity(likeIng);
} catch (ActivityNotFoundException e) {
    startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW,
            Uri.parse("https://www.twitch.com/"  + username)));
}
