Plug In Launcher
Free AppAbout Plug In Launcher
This app is a true "plug and play" app. It will launch a specified app (or the ability to choose from multiple via dialog) when the Power, USB, or Headset cables are connected to the device. A Yes/No dialog can be included so it does not interfere with your current task.
There is also a pro version of this app in the market. Plug In Launcher PRO includes wifi and bluetooth connectivity support, and also "extra actions" of toggling bluetooth, wifi, and ringer mode.
Tired before bed and want the Alarm clock app to launch when you plug it in to charge? Go ahead and plug it in... AND ITS THERE!
Out on a run and want to quickly launch one of your music player apps? just plug in your headphones and have it automatically press play!
Want to launch wifi tethering when you connect to your computer? DONE!
Once installed, specify which applications you want to launch when the respected cables are connected.
The Power and Usb capabilities are determined based on the new toggle button preference in their tabs. The Headset capabilities require a small service that is ran in the background. It is not running if the status is off.
Permissions used
RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED -- start up headset service after reboot (if status is on)
DISABLE_KEYGUARD -- unlocking screen
WAKE_LOCK --- waking up screen on headset connect
INTERNET ---Ads
NOTE: If you install on the SD card, The headset capabilities will not work if the SD card is mounted. (please turn status off and on again when moving app between phone and SD)

Worked beautifully on Lollipop (Moto E 1st gen) but on Marshmallow, it doesn't unlock the device or press Play. Emailed the developer but no response.

I gave it 3 stars its supposed to auto pause when unplugged, they probably disabled the feature. It now just lowers down the volume. I hope the developer reads this.

This is an old, unsupported app that says it has extra features in a paid version that doesn't exist. Unfortunate, it seems to work for plugging in headphones at least.

The good thing is that it not only is able to open a music player but makes it play automatically too. It gives you the option to launch applications on power charger connect also, etc. Its sensitive to task killers so whitelist.

The charging option does not work on the galaxy nexus, but charging (even through pogo pins) registers as USB. Otherwise works well

When phone charger is plugged in, USB seems to think its plugged into the computer, even when its Disabled.

Pro version link is broken, can't find it on google play either. That's ridiculous. There's also no option to launch 2 app's without a dialog(if you have multiple on an action, you have to choose one).

Perfect for what I use it for, which is when I connect it in the car and listen to music. I have it set to maximum media volume upon connection and lowered back down once I disconnect. MUST HAVE If you hate that your phone prevents maximum volume without first acknowledging a warning screen.

Love the idea of this app. I don't understand why it's limited by the plugin to action. example i want to press play when i plug in a USB cable. Sadly that option is only available under headphones.
by T####:
The idea is good but the app does not work the way I would like; if my phone is locked or powered off it does not unlock or power on first and then start the app, which is what I'm really looking for.
