Tested @tboyce1 command on my Shield and this is what i came up with:

(https://community.home-assistant.io/t/community-hass-io-add-on-adb-android-debug-bridge/96375/23)

Started the consol in the ADB container in Portainer.

(or connect from a pc consol)

adb connect 192.168.xxx.xxx:5555

adb shell

pm list packages | sed -e "s/package://" | while read x; do cmd package resolve-activity --brief $x | tail -n 1 | grep -v "No activity found"; done

And got this:

• de.blinkt.openvpn/.activities.MainActivity
• com.plexapp.android/com.plexapp.plex.activities.SplashActivity
• com.nvidia.tegrazone3/.LaunchActivity
• com.android.documentsui/.LauncherActivity
• com.plexapp.mediaserver.smb/com.plexapp.mediaserver.ui.main.MainActivity
• com.spotify.tv.android/.SpotifyTVActivity

• com.android.gallery3d/.app.GalleryActivity
• tv.twitch.android.app/tv.twitch.android.apps.TVLandingActivity
• com.nvidia.ota/.ui.LauncherActivity
