title: Is it possible to start activity through adb shell and receive its response?
body: <p>I know that you can <strong>start any exported activity from any app</strong> via <code>adb</code> using the following command:</p>
  
  <pre><code>am start -n com.myapp.test/.TestActivity
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Using the <code>"am start"</code> command it is also possible to send extra data to the activity (I know how to do this, this is not the question I am asking here!).</p>
  
  <p><strong>However what I need to know is if it is also possible to receive the response data sent back from the started activity when it finishes?</strong></p>
