Bug report

Current behavior:

On Android, call to
launchnavigator.navigate([49.6087477, 6.136253200000056], function() { console.log("launchnavigator success"); }, function(err) { console.error("launchnavigator failed", err); }, {});

results in the error callback being called. Error message is:

Exception occurred: Calling startActivity() from outside of an Activity context requires the FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK flag. Is this really what you want?

when debug is enabled, console output is:

LaunchNavigatorPlugin: Plugin action=availableApps
