I'm not really understanding. When you say "I start my application from the launcher," do you mean you as a user pressing the app icon? If so, there is nothing you can add -- the launcher just starts you with a MAIN action intent. You can't modify what that will be.
If you are talking about adding a shortcut to the launcher, you should be able to put in extras and have them come back when the shortcut is executed. Make sure you are only using basic types, string and int, since I don't think we support a lot of types for storing shortcuts.
