     20 <dd>The name of the category.  Standard categories are defined in the 
     21 {@link android.content.Intent} class as {@code CATEGORY_<i>name</i>} 
     22 constants.  The name assigned here can be derived from those constants 
     23 by prefixing "{@code android.intent.category.}" to the 
     24 {@code <i>name</i>} that follows {@code CATEGORY_}.  For example,
     25 the string value for {@code CATEGORY_LAUNCHER} is 
     26 "{@code android.intent.category.LAUNCHER}".
     27 
     28 <p>
     29 Custom categories should use the package name as a prefix, to ensure
     30 that they are unique.
